"A beautiful city with a long history " a Sevilla Travel Page by Bwana_Brown

This 3-week trip to Spain over the Christmas holidays involved visiting both the inland and coastal attractions of Andalusia. We had invited my wife's sister to join us from the UK and she was able to manage a nine-day stint with us during our time in Spain. Because her interests lay more in the historical cities of this part of Spain, rather than the heavily developed coastal areas, I slanted our itinerary in that direction for this part of the trip - choosing two days each for Granada and Sevilla as well as a single day in the Cadiz area (sorry, not even enough time to work Cordoba into the mix while we were so close!) before we returned to the traditional 'holiday' coast.

In the end, although we enjoyed exploring these cities, there is so much to see that you should really plan to spend at least 3-4 days in each to have enough time to properly sample all that is on offer. It would also help to be aware of which days the attractions are open to visitors! Still, I don't regret anything - just being there and sampling a new place in the world is enough to make me happy. The bottom line - go, visit Sevilla and enjoy it properly! My 'General' tip provides a topographical map of this part of Spain, showing Sevilla's location as well as where we were coming from and where next headed.
