What the 2015-2024 records (Cathedral and Giralda) show, season by season, to compare at a glance instead of reading twelve rows of a table.
The timing is right, so it is right for everyone: in these months the best places to stay and the small-group tours go first. Here is where to start.
Some links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. The selection does not depend on these links.
The time between sunrise and sunset, from shortest to longest. Not to be confused with the sunshine hours in the table above, which count clear skies. In June there are 14h43 of daylight, in December 9h36, a difference of 5h08.
