Seville 2025 recap and a prosperous new year

THERE ARE two times in the year when we become melancholy, we take stock and we look to the future with the ambition of setting goals. This happens after summer vacation, when almost all of us are starting a new season. And especially after the bells. As if … Before we can start from scratch, we look back to mark 365 days and define the challenges for what lies ahead. There is usually no shortage of the love he left us, the new job, the son who was born, the trip to paradise, the loved one we lost, the laughter between friends, the family problems, the sports progress and the inability to read more. The fashion is to do it with images in a Recap —yes, it’s a summary but on the networks it’s much cooler to speak in English—, but here we are going to visualize what 2025 was like for Seville.

As happens in all areas of life, both good and bad things happened to the city. Forgotten, and hopefully eradicated, has been the data on damned sexist violence and accidents, whether at work or in road accidents. This is also the case for Sandra Peña. Nor is there any political corruption that springs from Pedro Sánchez’s Moncloa with affairs such as the “Bite Bridge” or the Pino Montano plot, which makes the UCO visit us more than any tourist. It is precisely in this sector that we break records month after month.

The works marked the daily life of the city practically built in all neighborhoods in search of improvements for the future. Like those who should arrive with metro line 3, which finally seems to be a reality. Reversing, at high speed, we found the AVE despite Óscar Puente’s refusals. We said goodbye to drought thanks to a rainy year that also left us with flooding. And we survived the great power outage of April 28 with dignity. It was precisely in this month that the Fair returned to its original format – although many of us consider this a mistake – and a little before Easter took place, which unfortunately has less and less meaning due to the proliferation of extraordinary events that are now ordinary. The boycott of the local police, the absurd debate on Icónica, the fires of the Auditorium, the demolition of the Villamarín Preferencia, the European final of Betis, the problems of Seville, the new life of the Cartuja Stadium, the drug gangs that pass through the Torre del Oro and the new Michelin star of Ochando have also marked a city that, by 2026, needs improvements to establish itself as one of the best from Spain. It depends on politicians and citizens. Good year.
