I am attempting to plan a trip to Madrid and Seville the first week of December while trying to work around the holiday stretch to avoid Madrid that weekend. Can someone tell me if Seville will be jam packed the 3rd - 7th? I expect more people to be buzzing around in general because of the Christmas season, but should I avoid Seville and Madrid altogether? I would go to Madrid before Seville but would have to get back to the Madrid airport on the 7th. Thanks for any advice!

Dec 6 and 8 are bank holidays all over Spain, so expect a busy weekend, not only because it´s close to Christmas, but also because of this long weekend.

Thanks & Yes! I saw videos of Madrid during the holiday weekend and it worried me! I am wondering how the days leading up to it are? I am hopeful they are less crowded than the actual weekend, as I am finding myself weary of booking. I have to make my decision by this evening.

The previous days are working days, so expect business as usual in a city like Madrid, with over 3.5M inhabitants. Seville is smaller, always busy, always a great place to visit, no matter the time of the year. Expect quite cold temperatures in Madrid.
