Seville's bachata week runs Friday to Sunday, plus Thursday in summer. New Joker Music Lounge Bar in Tomares, a suburb west of Seville across the river, anchors it with free socials on all three weekend nights. All five weekly socials mix bachata with salsa and kizomba.
On Fridays, La Gozadera at El Cañaveral in Castilleja de la Cuesta, another Aljarafe town west of Seville, is a second option. In Seville itself, Mirador Latino runs a Thursday party on a riverside terrace in the summer season.

New Joker in Tomares: Free Socials Friday to Sunday
New Joker Music Lounge Bar is on Av. de la Arboleda in Tomares, in the Aljarafe west of Seville. It has a dance room (sala de baile) separate from the bar, and its weekend Latin nights play salsa, bachata and kizomba. Entry was free on all three nights in September and October 2026.
Friday is the late night. It starts at 11 PM, some weeks with a free salsa or rueda cubana workshop first, and the venue stays open until 4 AM. Saturday usually starts much earlier, from 6:30 PM, as a "Tardeo SBK" that opens with a bachata workshop. Some Saturdays are night parties instead and publish no start time.
Sunday is an early-evening social, not a late night. "Domingos Latinos" starts at about 7 PM, and most weeks open with a free bachata workshop by a local teacher couple before the DJs take over. The venue closes at 3 AM on Sundays. New Joker posts the coming weekend's flyers on Instagram (@newjokermusic) early in the week, so check there for exact times.

El Cañaveral is a rock-and-roll style tapas bar at C. Real 156 in Castilleja de la Cuesta, an Aljarafe town about 6 km west of central Seville. Every Friday it hosts La Gozadera Fiesta Latina from 11:30 PM, with salsa, bachata and kizomba.
The dance area is compact and shares the room with dining tables. Every drink comes with a free bowl of house popcorn.
El Cañaveral venue detailsMirador Latino: Summer Thursdays by the River
Inside Seville itself, Mirador Latino runs a Thursday party at Iguana Terraza, an open-air terrace on the river at Muelle de las Delicias, next to the Seville Aquarium. The party, co-run with the Sensación SBK crew, starts at 11 PM, and rotating DJs play salsa, bachata and kizomba. Each flyer names a group of regular dancers who dance all night.
Treat it as a summer-season night. The latest Thursday we could confirm was 20 August 2026, and in 2025 the Thursdays ran into early October. Check the organizer's Instagram, @miradorlatino, before you go.
Also in the city, the concert club Sala Pandora on C. Gramil hosts Esencia Latina (@esencialatinasevilla) only now and then: its October 2026 bachata session was announced for Sunday 18 October, 7 PM to 11:30 PM, 12 EUR in advance.
