Planning to spend Halloween in Seville and not sure where to start? There are haunted houses, ghost walks, parties and family plans, but the information is so scattered that organising your night ends up scarier than the 31st itself.
Here you have the key dates of the long weekend, plans for every kind of group, an hour-by-hour route for Saturday the 31st and the Sevillian traditions of All Saints’ Day, which matter here far more than pumpkins.
When is Halloween in Seville in 2026
Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October. Because All Saints’ Day lands on a Sunday, Andalusia has moved the bank holiday to Monday 2 November, which makes it a three-day weekend. Events start earlier in the month, so the weekend before is worth a look too.

Halloween plans in Seville for every kind of group
Halloween with six-year-olds is not the same as a Saturday night out with friends. We have sorted the best Halloween plans in Seville by type of experience, from the most intense to the most relaxed.
Haunted houses and immersive horror
If you want a proper scare, these are the two big events of the season.
Halloween at Isla Mágica
Seville’s theme park adds haunted houses of different intensity, roaming characters and shows not suitable for little ones.
More info →La Zona
Immersive horror at the Muelle de las Delicias with actors, a maze and a terror tunnel. The extreme mode is not allowed for under-18s.
Halloween in Seville with kids
Travelling as a family? There are gentle, spooky plans designed to be solved as a team, with no nightmares afterwards.
Creepy Halloween Family
An adventure with witches, clues and fantastic creatures at the Muelle de las Delicias. On the 31st it opens from 10:00 to 19:00.
More info →Isla Mágica for families
Besides the scary attractions, the park has haunted houses for children, so it works even with siblings of very different ages.
More info →Ghost walks and legends in the old town
Seville has centuries of dark stories and Halloween is the perfect excuse to discover them on foot, at night and with a good guide. Some of these walks run only in Spanish, so check the language before you book.
Sevilla Terrorífica
GuiArte walk led by researcher José Manuel García Bautista, from the Santa Cruz church to the Encarnación square. In Spanish.
More info →La Judería de Sevilla walks
A theatrical cemetery tour at 18:00 plus night walks about haunted houses, crimes and legends.
More info →Rimas, Leyendas y Misterios
Four legends by Seville-born poet Bécquer, told with storytelling, magic and mentalism.
Halloween parties on the night of the 31st
To keep the night going, Halloween parties in Seville are concentrated in the city-centre venues, with themed nights for over-18s.
Halloween at Sala Pandora
A Halloween edition of This Is Drag and the Morreo Club party, which opens shortly before midnight.
More info →Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy
Immersive cocktail experience at the Teatro de Triana built around four tales by Poe.

The other half of the job is fitting it all in without rushing. This is our suggested plan for Saturday the 31st, from morning to the small hours.
- 10:00Stroll through Santa Cruz, or Creepy Halloween Family if you have kids
- AfternoonSnack stop at Kukuchurro with thick hot chocolate and freshly made churros
- 18:00Theatrical cemetery tour with La Judería
- 19:30Don Juan Tenorio by TomaTeatro at the Colegio Santa Ana
- 21:00Night legend walks, or La Zona at the Muelle de las Delicias
- 23:45Themed parties in the city-centre venues
- 00:30One last hot chocolate at Regina, Salvador or Catedral
Morning, a walk through legendary Seville
Start in the Santa Cruz quarter, with its narrow lanes and hidden squares. It has its own mystery by daylight and helps you place the spots you will hear about on the night walks. With kids, Creepy Halloween Family opens at 10:00 and leaves your afternoon free.
Mid-afternoon, churros and chocolate before nightfall
Kuku tip
By late October it gets chilly once the sun goes down, and a thick Spanish hot chocolate is the best way to warm up before the scares begin. We fry our churros to order in clean oil, so they are crunchy outside and light inside.
Depending on where the afternoon takes you, there are four places to stop:
Calle Regina, 12
Right by the Encarnación square, where the legends walk ends. Try the churros de papa, made with real potato.
Plaza del Salvador, 15
Grab a paper cone of churros to go and enjoy the square.
Calle Alemanes, 7
Perfect if you are coming from Santa Cruz.
Calle San Jacinto, 6
Ideal before the Teatro de Triana or sunset on Calle Betis.
After dark, the scary plan of your choice
Warmed up and ready, it is time for the main event of the night: the Tenorio at 19:30, the La Judería walks from 21:00 or La Zona, with entry at the time on your ticket. If you are going to Isla Mágica, check its calendar, as opening hours change from day to day.
Late at night, a party or one last hot chocolate
If the night goes on, it is time for the themed parties. If you would rather end on something sweet, Regina, Salvador and Catedral stay open until 00:30 for one last hot chocolate while you talk over the scares.
Halloween and All Saints’ Day in Seville, two traditions side by side
Halloween is a recent arrival in Spain. In Seville, 1 November has long been All Saints’ Day (Día de Todos los Santos), with flowers at the San Fernando cemetery, roasted chestnuts on the street and special sweets in the pastry shops. Add to that Zorrilla’s Don Juan Tenorio, a play set in 16th-century Seville that ends on the Night of the Dead.
Tenorio by TomaTeatro
In the courtyard of the Colegio Santa Ana, in Los Remedios. In Spanish verse.
Tenorio at San Luis de los Franceses
The provincial council is staging it again in this Baroque church.
Don Juan Tenorio theatrical walk
A theatrical walk through the centre devoted to Don Juan.

And to celebrate at the table, these are the traditional All Saints’ sweets you will find in Seville:
Huesos de santo
Small marzipan tubes, usually filled with sweet egg yolk cream.
Buñuelos de viento
Hollow fritters filled with custard, cream or chocolate. Cousins of the churro, as both start from a cooked dough fried in hot oil.
Roasted chestnuts
The classic autumn snack, served in a paper cone.
Roasted sweet potato
Simple, sweet and very seasonal.
Kukuchurro is waiting for you this Halloween in Seville
Halloween in Seville is more than one night. You have a three-day weekend to mix haunted houses, legend walks, theatre and parties, plus the All Saints’ traditions that make these dates special in the city.
And between plans, Seville in autumn calls for a stop to warm up. At Kukuchurro we have been making freshly fried churros and thick hot chocolate in the old town and Triana for years, and these are the nights when they hit the spot.
Churros before the scares?
