Seville's busiest weeks
Semana Santa and Feria weeks: booking the show in Seville's busiest season
No extra sittings are added when the city fills for Easter and the Feria de Abril — what that means for booking El Palacio Andaluz.

| Period | What it means for the show |
|---|---|
| Semana Santa (Easter week) | Processions fill the old town; no extra Palacio Andaluz sittings are added |
| Two weeks later: Feria de Abril | Several million visitors in the city over the week; front tables sell first |
Semana Santa fills the city, not extra seats here
Semana Santa — Holy Week — draws large crowds into Seville's old town for its processions, but El Palacio Andaluz doesn't add a third nightly sitting to absorb the demand; the same two showtimes run as any other week, which means the tables and tiers most visitors want fill faster than usual.
Feria de Abril, two weeks later
Seville's Feria de Abril takes over the city roughly a fortnight after Easter and draws several million visitors across its week-long run, according to city tourism reporting — a second, separate high-demand period rather than an extension of the Semana Santa crowds.
What actually sells out first
It's the front-of-stage dinner tables and the earlier 19:00 sitting that go first in both periods — the later 21:30 show and side seating tend to stay bookable longer, simply because they're less requested rather than more available in absolute terms.
Booking further ahead than usual
Outside these two periods, booking a few days ahead is normally enough for most tiers; across Semana Santa and Feria week, booking further out — particularly for the dinner tier or the earlier show — closes that margin considerably.
What doesn't change in high season
The sixteen-piece programme, the museum inclusion and the two showtimes stay the same through Semana Santa and Feria week — it's demand for the existing seats that rises, not the show itself or the number of nightly performances.
Planning the rest of a high-season trip around it
Since Feria week in particular reshapes traffic and hotel availability across Seville, worth locking in a Palacio Andaluz date as one of the first bookings for a spring trip rather than the last, especially if the dinner tier or the 19:00 sitting matters to you.
