Light through 2026 in Seville
Seville's sampled golden window runs from about 50 min in March to 59 min in December. Sunset moves 60° along the horizon between December (241° WSW) and June (301° WNW), so a spot framed for one season can face away from the light in another. Between December and June the day itself stretches from 9 hr 36 min to 14 hr 43 min, dragging every window with it.

Find the months when sunset faces your spot
Pick the direction your subject faces the sky. Months whose sunset lands within ±10° light up in the table above. Disabled shortcuts have no matching row in this visible mid-month sample.
Each row samples the 15th of the month at these coordinates, so dates near a month boundary can differ from the printed row — around here day length moves up to ~2 min per day in the fastest season. Clock times follow Europe · Madrid, including any daylight-saving change.

Moon and candidate vantage points
Context to verify
Moon on the selected date
The moon over Seville is a Full Moon, 99% lit. Treat this as lighting context, not a visibility forecast.
Candidate vantage points
The list supplies map-search starting points, not ranked recommendations. Confirm access, closures, permits, safety, and horizon obstructions yourself before setting out. For the selected date, the mathematical sunset bearing is 255° WSW. If the composition faces differently, use the bearing planner in the month table above to identify sampled months; the result remains a planning aid and does not prove visibility.
In Seville, the evening golden hour window runs 52 min on the selected date and approaches from 255° WSW. Arrive 15 minutes before its start when that window occurs, then choose a position with an open view toward that bearing. Don't rely on the generic “one hour before sunset” rule here — the real window shifts with the season, so check the computed times for your date.
See the calculation method and limits before relying on the estimate in terrain-sensitive or safety-critical conditions.
Common questions
Golden hour FAQ for Seville
When is golden hour in Seville?
Whenever the sun is between +6° above and −4° below the horizon — a band that wraps around both sunrise and sunset. For Seville, the representative monthly window is 50 minutes in March and 59 minutes in December; separate morning and evening crossings merge or wrap overnight near the poles. Pick a date above for the minute-exact times.
Which direction does the sun set in Seville?
There is no single answer — over the year the sunset point travels 60° along Seville's horizon, between 241° WSW (December) and 301° WNW (June). The month table above lists the bearing for each month, and the sun-path panel computes it per date.
How much does day length change in Seville?
Seville's swing is 5 hr 7 min: December bottoms out around 9 hr 36 min of daylight while June peaks near 14 hr 43 min. Each month's numbers are in the table above.
Does Seville get blue hour right after golden hour?
Yes — they are adjacent bands of the same descent: golden hour spans +6° to −4° of solar altitude and blue hour continues from −4° to −6°. In Seville, the representative December golden window lasts 59 min; on ordinary dates evening blue begins when its evening side ends, while polar dates can merge or wrap overnight. The light-windows panel above computes both for any date.
