Transit caution
If you plan to use Metro de Sevilla, check service status before travel and expect possible delays or evacuations.
A recent Metro de Sevilla train evacuation at San Juan Bajo due to an electrical/technical failure caused passenger anxiety and service disruption.
Avoid specific areas
Give space to cordoned-off sites in central Sevilla and avoid the immediate area around the former Club Natación Sevilla parcel while investigations proceed.
