Meeting People in Seville: Where to Go

Meeting people in a city is easier when you attend a recurring event: a run on Tuesday evening, a language exchange on Saturday, a dance class every week. You see the same faces again, and a stranger quickly becomes someone you know. In Seville, several of these meet-ups take place in Spanish and English. This guide only lists events that the organiser describes on its own page.

Check the association's page for the date of the next edition. Jornadas ¡Queremos Jugar! 2026, queremosjugar.com

Going alone

Pick one format and go three times before you judge it. The first time is often the most awkward, and every time you return, you are more likely to see familiar faces. A shared activity can make it easier to start a conversation by giving you something to talk about: the route, the language, the dance step, the game.

Good openers are deliberately ordinary: "Is this your first time too?", "How did you find out about it?", "Do you run with them often?" Ask one follow-up question and listen to the answer.

Making plans to meet again

A good conversation does not turn into a second meeting on its own. Before you leave, suggest something concrete: "Are you coming running again next Tuesday?" or "I'm going to the language exchange on Saturday, want to come?" A specific suggestion is easier to answer than "We should do something sometime".

Try it this week

• Pick one format from the table above
• Put the date in your calendar and check it on the organiser's page
• Arrive five minutes early and talk to one person
• Before you leave, suggest a specific plan to meet again

For organisers

If you host evenings like these, you know the moment: people get on well and then lose touch. before is a web app for organisers. Guests check in at the door with a QR code in their browser, without installing an app, and anyone who likes takes a selfie. The day after, the afterparty is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Anyone who shared a selfie sees everyone else who shared one there and can press the button for meeting again for up to five people. At 8 pm everyone finds out at the same time who wants to see each other again, and only then does a chat open. One-sided wishes stay invisible, and nobody receives a rejection. Nobody needs a profile. More on the page before for organisers.
