Sevilla Favorite Tips by keeweechic Top 5 Page for this destination

Quotes

Favorite thing: "Seville, is a pleasant city, famous for oranges and women."
Byron

"The air soft as that of Seville in April, and so fragrant that it was delicious to breathe it. "
Christopher Columbus

"The city is as large as Seville or Cordova; its streets, I speak of the principal ones, are very wide and straight; some of these, and all the inferior ones, are half land and half water, and are navigated by canoes. "
Hernando Cortes

"There are fully forty towers, which are lofty and well built, the largest of which has fifty steps leading to its main body, and is higher than the tower of the principal tower of the church at Seville. "
Hernando Cortes

Climate

Favorite thing: With Seville having a Mediterranean climate, the area can get quite hot during the summer months with temperatures going as high as even 45C, although an average would be 26C. Spring is a pretty time to visit with the Jacaranda trees being in bloom and the temperatures are quite pleasant. The winters are quite mild and most of the rainfall happens during fall.

Toilets

Favorite thing: There are not a lot of public pay toilets in Seville and cafés are probably the best place to try or department stores. Some restaurants and bars will request you to be a customer but others won’t mind. The odd street convenience I saw such as this one was very modern and it was on Plaza Nueva. The Spanish word for toilets is ‘Los Servicios’.

Jacaranda Trees

Favorite thing: All through Seville during Spring you will see huge jacaranda trees in full bloom lining the streets and the parks. The oleanders and the draping bougainvilleas are also in fine colourful blooms.
