Old Town, Seville, Spain
Seville’s old town to explore the cobbled streets of the Santa Cruz quarter and the breathtaking Alcázar Palace. Soak up the atmosphere on the banks of the Guadalquivir, and admire the views from the ancient cathedral tower and recently opened Parasol Metropol.
Beautiful Seville is Compact, rich in history and famous for its flamenco, tapas bars and orange trees. Seville is an ideal short break destination, especially in spring before the sun becomes too scorching. To see Seville at its most action-packed, catch the Semana Santa (Holy Week; March 29-April 5), when the streets fill with people marking the last days of Christ’s life. Numerous church brotherhoods take part in processions, carrying heavy, ornately decorated floats displaying bible scenes and statues, followed by the penitents, in long robes and pointed hoods. Next on Seville’s calendar is the Feria de Abril (April 21-26), when Los Remedios, to the south-west of the city, stages a week of colourful celebration and partying. If you prefer a quieter life, opt for May, a perfect month to bask in Seville’s balmy spring sunshine and sweet scent of orange blossom.
