Lovingly known as the “Frying Pan of Europe,” Seville holds its own Christmas markets throughout December, with festive motifs lit up all around the city and little stalls serving the delicious delicacies for which Andalusia is famous.

Christmas markets are generally associated with the chilly cities of Central and Eastern Europe, but shimmering lights and wooden stalls certainly aren’t confined to the meat of the continent. Besides, who wouldn’t want to enjoy the magic of a Christmas market without wearing five layers of clothing, a hat and a scarf?

Lovingly known as the “Frying Pan of Europe,” Seville holds its own Christmas markets (or Feria de Belén) throughout December, with festive motifs lit up all around the city and little stalls serving the delicious delicacies that Andalusia is famous for. The lights are arguably the main attraction, as Seville leaves no stone unturned in the search for festive illumination. It can be a little dizzying, but that might also be the glühwein talking.

The annual light show in Plaza de San Francisco is one of the continent’s finest and might have you considering making warmer Christmases a tradition from now on.
