Relax and endulge in Seville

What struck me the most about Seville has to be the architecture.

Living in Dubai, we have seen our share of twirly-Arabic-over the top architecture, but in Seville the mix between European chic and Moorish grandness really works beautifully. The history of the city can be read off its walls, towers and streets.

We didn't see much of the town as we only stayed for 3 days and it rained most of the time, but I can imagine just walking around the city is enough sight-seeing in itself!

Oranges, oranges, everywhere oranges!

Put your feet up and relaaaaax...

Relaxing on the HUGE bed at the famous Hacienda Benazuza.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beautiful surroundings
  • Cons:Not many people speak English, so a few words of Spanish may help!
  • In a nutshell:One of the many hidden treasures of ancient Europe

    A more-ish Moorish hacienda? Why, it's worth it for the alliteration alone!!

    Wow, some hotel ! I am turning very green with envy - on our first visit we stayed in a fairly ordinary large hotel near the centre - full of coach parties.

    Winter is the best time to visit, you were unlucky to get rain, its not that common. Summer temps are unbearable 53ºC when I went the first time in August. Its only 3 hours from the house now, so we go often, I love Sevilla.
