Costa de la Luz and Seville in winter 2026-2027: weather, what is open, public holidays and things to do from November to February

Updated: 10 November 2026

Winter is the low season on the Costa de la Luz and a mild time to visit Seville. This guide gathers what we could check on 10 November 2026 in official sources: AEMET's standard climate values (1981-2010 averages, not a forecast), the Andalusian public holiday decrees published in the BOJA (the regional official gazette), the official Real Alcázar website and Puertos del Estado. When a fact comes from the press we say so and give its date, and we say what we could not confirm.

Average weather from November to February

AEMET standard climate values (1981-2010; Huelva, 1984-2010). These are averages, not this winter's forecast:

Seville (airport): mean temperature 15.1 °C in November, 11.9 °C in December, 10.9 °C in January and 12.5 °C in February; mean highs 20.2, 16.6, 16.0 and 18.1 °C; mean lows 10.0, 7.3, 5.7 and 7.0 °C.
Jerez (airport): means 14.9, 12.0, 10.7 and 12.1 °C; highs 20.2, 16.9, 16.2 and 17.8 °C; lows 9.5, 7.1, 5.2 and 6.4 °C.
Cádiz: means 16.5, 13.9, 12.7 and 13.8 °C; highs 19.6, 16.9, 16.0 and 16.8 °C; lows 13.4, 10.9, 9.4 and 10.7 °C. It has the mildest nights of the four.
Huelva (Ronda Este): means 14.9, 12.3, 11.0 and 12.4 °C; highs 20.0, 16.9, 16.2 and 17.8 °C; lows 9.8, 7.6, 5.9 and 7.0 °C.

Sunshine: between 151 and 197 hours a month on average; February is the sunniest in Seville, Jerez and Cádiz.

Public holidays from November 2026 to February 2027

According to the Andalusian public holiday decrees published in the BOJA:

Monday 7 December 2026: Constitution Day, moved because the 6th falls on a Sunday; Tuesday 8: Immaculate Conception (Decreto 101/2025).
Friday 25 December 2026: Christmas Day (Decreto 101/2025).
Friday 1 January 2027 (New Year) and Wednesday 6 January (Epiphany) (Decreto 84/2026, BOJA of 5 May 2026).
Andalusia Day: 28 February 2027 is a Sunday, so the holiday moves to Monday 1 March 2027 (Decreto 84/2026).
Each municipality adds up to two local holidays. We have not checked the 2027 ones for Seville, Cádiz, Jerez or Huelva: ask the town hall.
Long weekends (7-8 December, New Year, Epiphany and 1 March) usually bring more visitors: book ahead.

Real Alcázar of Seville: winter hours

According to the official Real Alcázar website (undated):

29 October to 31 March: Monday to Sunday, 9:30 to 17:00, with the note 'closing at 18.00'. We understand 17:00 is the last entry, but the website does not say so: not confirmed.
1 April to 28 October: 9:30 to 19:00 ('closing at 20.00').
Closed on 1 and 6 January, Good Friday and 25 December: bear this in mind at Christmas and Epiphany.
Free visits on Mondays from 16:00 to 17:00 from October to March, according to the official website; the Junta de Andalucía says an online booking is required.
Check the hours and buy tickets on the official website before you go.

What closes in the low season on the coast

What we could document:

Beach bars (chiringuitos) in Cádiz city: the concession terms allowed opening from 1 March to 30 November, and the City Council said they had to close and be dismantled in December, January and February (press, 3-12-2014). In 2016 six beach bars asked to open in winter and the City Council and the Junta agreed to process it (press, 7-11-2016). The current rules are not confirmed.
For the rest of the Costa de la Luz (Huelva, Chiclana, Conil, Tarifa...) we found no rule with dates: not confirmed. Ask your accommodation what is open.
Sea temperature: Puertos del Estado publishes hourly buoy data in its PORTUS application and a daily mean sea temperature indicator (La Moncloa press release, 17-7-2026). We have not read an official winter figure for the Gulf of Cádiz: not confirmed.

Things to do from November to February

With average highs of 16 to 20 °C, winter is a good time to walk around Seville, Cádiz and Jerez and to visit monuments with fewer crowds than in spring; take an umbrella in November and December.

If you run a property in Seville or on the Costa de la Luz

What travellers typically ask AI assistants in winter:

Whether the property is open in winter, whether it has heating and whether there are restaurants open nearby.
What the weather is like and what to do on rainy days.
Prices and availability on long weekends, at Christmas and during Carnival. Keeping this clear and up to date on your website and listings avoids wrong answers.

How iQuota helps

iQuota makes independent properties available to AI assistants with direct booking, payment at the property and 0% commission, with the price and terms each property sets.
