Tomorrow night, Friday, October 4, the second Noche en Blanco in Seville takes place. With the participation of around 50 institutions, monuments, and shops, it promises to be bigger and better than last year’s event.
From 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM, you can visit a wide variety of places, some of which we have highlighted here. For the full program, check this page. Almost all events are free of charge.
Fundación La Madariaga: art exhibitions and fashion shows. Located between the river and María Luisa Park, it was built as the American pavilion for the 1929 Expo.
El Casino de la Exposición, also a pavilion of Expo 29, displays photographs tracing the history of Spanish cinema.

Baños de María Mora – visits to recently restored Arab baths in the San Lorenzo neighborhood.
Palacio Marqueses de La Algaba: this palace located behind the Feria market, housing the Mudéjar Museum, hosts a dance performance, a music recital, and a film screening.
Guided tours of the Centro de Interpretación de la Judería, Antiquarium (the Roman remains under the Setas), the Casa Consistorial (original 16th-century town hall building, within the current one), and Castillo San Jorge, seat of the Spanish Inquisition, with theatrical visits, choral music to ward off evil spirits, and an interactive performance in “the labyrinth of history.”
Pabellón de la Navegación – three short theatrical pieces performed during the summer: Sevilla puerto y Puerta de Indias (Seville port and gateway to the Indies); Escuela de grumetes (midshipmen school); Un Descubrimiento Diferencia – about a meeting between Columbus and Queen Isabella I. This event has an entry price of 1 euro.
Tonight there is an impressive variety of activities, so central Seville will be lively until dawn. For now, the weather forecast looks promising: the rain that soaked us all week will ease, giving us a perfect break tomorrow night.
