Seville, Spain
Sevilla news in English — an app for Andalusia's capital.
Seville is the Andalusian capital and most English-language Spain news still treats it as a city you photograph during Holy Week.

The Sevilla English-news ecosystem is a small list. The Olive Press covers Andalusia weekly. Euro Weekly News syndicates regional. Sur in English's Málaga focus means Seville gets the leftover bandwidth. There's no Seville-specific English publication of any scale.
The Spanish-language layer is rich — ABC de Sevilla, Diario de Sevilla, El Correo de Andalucía, the Junta de Andalucía press feed, the Ayuntamiento de Sevilla noticias page, plus the SAS healthcare bulletin shared across Andalusia. All Spanish. The translation tax is the same as Málaga's, but with less Anglophone infrastructure to fall back on when you give up.
Two recurring Sevilla-specific gaps. First, the Holy Week and April Fair logistics — closures, transit changes, permit windows for residents — appear in ABC de Sevilla weeks in advance, in Spanish, and reach English readers two days before each event if at all. Second, the heat warnings. Seville is structurally the hottest expat city in Spain and the plan de prevención frente a olas de calor updates come from the Junta and are Spanish-only.
The app advantage in Seville is the AEMET red-warning push and the municipal-calendar surfacing. Heat alerts, transit blockades for Semana Santa, Feria-day traffic plans — you want these as a notification with a one-line English summary, not a desktop tab you check at 9pm.
I'm Juan Gabriel, American autónomo in Málaga since 2023. I built Localista because every other 'Spain news in English' app meant Madrid politics with a side of Latin America, while my actual life — schools, healthcare, the cita previa wait at my district office — was buried in Spanish I read at half speed. So I built the city-specific, daily-translated app I wanted my first year here.
