Workshops, markets and weekend plans in Sevilla

Sevilla Secreta published a weekend guide on May 18 that pulls together workshops, markets, food events and cultural outings in Seville for Friday, May 22, through Sunday, May 24. The listings span a sandal-making retreat in the Sierra de Aracena, the “Hecho en Sevilla” craft fair beside the Cathedral, Candlelight concerts and the return of night tours at the Real Alcázar. The guide presents the weekend as a mix of day trips, open-air markets and ticketed evening plans, according to the site. The roundup was written by editor Ariana Buenafuente. ### Which workshop stands out this weekend? May 24 is the date attached to one of the guide’s most specific workshop listings: “Anclaje,” a creative retreat led by cabinetmaker Isabelle Pradas and chef Pepa Santos of diezmesas. Sevilla Secreta said participants will transform old or broken sneakers into sandals in a day-long session in the Sierra de Aracena, with materials and food included from €70. (sevillasecreta.co) Isabelle Pradas and Pepa Santos are described by the site as the people behind Anclaje’s craft-focused retreats and mindful-eating experiences. The listing says no prior experience is required and that the package includes a homemade Mediterranean picnic and time in nature. ### Where is the main market this weekend? Fray Ceferino González Street, the pedestrian stretch linking Seville Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias, is hosting the spring edition of the “Hecho en Sevilla” Creative Crafts Fair through May 28. (sevillasecreta.co) Sevilla Secreta said the fair is organized by the Seville Craft Federation, or FAS, with the City Council, and features 37 artisan workshops in its spring edition. The fair is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., according to the listing. Sevilla Secreta said exhibitors cover ceramics, pottery, jewelry, leather goods, textiles and accessories, and that the participating workshops are presented in two shifts, with a new group of artisans beginning from May 15.

Sevilla Secreta said the event brings together some of the most awarded burger vendors from the competition’s previous editions in Seville’s latest stop on the national circuit. Gastrogarden was also featured by Sevilla Secreta in a separate May 13 listing as a three-day food festival on the Paseo del Marqués de Contadero with tastings, workshops and cooking demonstrations. (sevillasecreta.co) That event was scheduled for May 15 to 17, making it part of the broader late-May food calendar the site has been tracking, though not part of the May 22-24 weekend itself. (sevillasecreta.co) ### What can visitors book for the evening? May 23 is the date listed for “The Best Soundtracks” Candlelight concert at the Seville Aquarium in the weekend roundup. Sevilla Secreta said Candlelight continues to use venues including the Aquarium auditorium and the Casino de la Exposición as part of its regular Seville program. The Real Alcázar of Seville resumed its dramatized night tours on May 21, 22 and 23, according to a May 20 Sevilla Secreta report. (sevillasecreta.co) The site said this 2026 edition marks the 500th anniversary of the wedding of Charles V and Isabella of Portugal, with Teatro Clásico de Sevilla staging 70-minute performances priced at €15 on later dates after the opening free sessions sold out.

Next week is the next milestone for one of the weekend’s anchor listings: the “Hecho en Sevilla” fair remains open until May 28 on Fray Ceferino González Street. The Real Alcázar’s dramatized tours are also scheduled to continue every Thursday and Friday through the end of October, with four nightly performances beginning at 9:00 p.m., according to Sevilla Secreta’s May 20 report.
