Methodology
We selected statistics from the organisations that collect the data: the Diputación de Sevilla’s statistics portal, the Ayuntamiento’s tourism office and urban planning department, the Junta de Andalucía, INE, Aena, the Port of Seville, AEMET, UNESCO and event organisers. We did not use statistics roundups. Each figure was written as one sentence in our own words, with the year the data describes. A script then opened every source page, confirmed it was live and that the exact figure appears on it; for PDFs, JavaScript-driven pages and pages with certificate errors we extracted the file text and checked the figure there. We then read each claim against the evidence. Six statistics come from secondary sources (news outlets or an open-data project republishing an official count) where the primary page could not be opened; they are labelled in the source name. No figure was rounded, converted or calculated by us. Data years differ by source: most describe 2025, some 2024 or 2026, and climate averages are AEMET’s 1981-2010 standard values. Disclosures: as a city-level page this hub is smaller than our regional one, and we set its thresholds at 40 statistics, 12 publishers and a 26% single-publisher limit; the Junta de Andalucía supplies 25% of the statistics. The Ayuntamiento’s main website could not be opened during our research, so Feria de Abril and Semana Santa economic-impact figures, Seville city hotel figures for 2025 and visitor counts for several monuments (Casa de Pilatos, Torre del Oro, Setas, Plaza de España) are not included. This page has no first-party data. We refresh it quarterly; the next review is due 5 January 2027.
