Seville in early March

Posted by (Midwest) on

I've been to Seville (and other parts of Andalucia) several times - but always in May - July, September, and October. I love the weather in late spring or early fall - warm but not as crazy hot as it gets in the heat of summer. I'm not big on winter travel or cold weather - I like long walks, sitting outside at cafes, not packing sweaters, that kind of thing. So I travel mainly late May- early October.

But an opportunity came up for early March of 2020. How is Seville in early-mid March? I can look at average temps, but I'd prefer to hear from people who have been there. Different places treat the same temperatures differently, depending on the typical climate etc.

So for Seville - are people sitting in outdoor cafes? Are the trees and flowers in bloom or does it look like winter?

Honestly, I think Sevilla would be marvelous in early/mid March. I was just there mid November and the weather was pretty perfect for us. Highs were between 60 and high 60s. It might have been 70 the first day. Absolutely there were people eating outside. They did have heaters. One night was a tad chilly and we specifically requested a table near the heater. I did pack and use one sweater. I like to bring a light weight wool or cashmere cardigan for layer. I also had a khaki jacket. I wore mostly elbow length or light weight long sleeved shirts and skirts/capris or light weight pants. The grass was green, there were leaves and oranges on the trees. For you, since it would be spring, I think the oranges would be gone but I am told that the variety of orange trees they have never lose their leaves.

I was there in the middle of March and the weather varied. I did eat out on una terraza a few times but it also was cold one night. However, l'd always go when there are less tourists so I'd say go for it. Seville is always beautiful.

My first two visits to Sevilla were in February. Both times, I sat outside with a friend for drinks in the afternoon sun, though I kept my fleece jacket on. My most recent visit was March 23-26 and there were a couple of days when I wished I had sandals with me.
