		+	Although it may seem a bit random and accidentally have in common the anniversary, the dates have been carefully chosen:
		+	Going to Sevilla in August, besides the northern Summer problem I mentioned some weeks ago, also may be a problem for people coming from cooler countries. They are not used to our temperatures and may dehidrate too much. We consider anything above 30ºC to be not welcoming for many visitors. September, on the other hand, has a perfect 15/25ºC temperature in average.
		+
		+	But on September we have the schools starting. So if we wanted to use the university, we had to make sure it was before the full classes began and the booking of rooms collide with our needs. On the other hand, too early on September we have the problem of Isla Mágica being still used full time as an amusement park. If we want the park to be closed for us, it should be after mid September.
		+	So, that week is the perfect week for us. The four factors (climate, university, Isla Mágica and anniversary) match on that week.
		+	Of course, we carefully asked about availability before selecting the dates. Otherwise it would have been very risky. There will be more events around the anniversary, but most of them are distributed among the full year and the full duration of the trip.
