Seville is one of the most beautiful, relaxed cities I have visited. I went in August which is apparently one of the quieter months, probably due to the heat. I enjoyed beautiful sunshine and it was in the high 30s which may not suit everyone. Due to the heat I would highly recommend booking a hotel with a pool - a nice way to cool off after a day of sight seeing. I would recommend staing in the Santa Cruz area. This historic part of Seville offers pretty, winding streets, good restaurants, authentic tapas bars and this is all within walking distance of the amazing cathedral. Seville's sights are varied and the city itself is a sight itself. I visited the cathedral, which is fantastic, including a walk to the top of the tower which offers wonderful views across the city. I also went to the bull ring, and although no shows on, a tour was very interesting and a good way to experience a part of Spanish culture without having to witness a bull fight (most bull fights are on during April and May in Seville). The Real Alcazar is well worth a visit. The beautiful gardens are as stunning as the Palace itself. If I had known I would have taken my lunch and a book and enjoyed the gardens with lunch! And as you exit the Real Alcazar you enter the square full of orange trees (although these are abundant in Sevilla). I would recommend taking a Spanish phrase book as not many people speak English - which I enjoyed, actually feeling like I was on holiday. Although not as cheap as other parts of Spain I didn't feel Seville was overpriced. The sight seeing was definitely good value with most sights being less than 10 euros. I did not rush round Seville but spend 6 days and nights taking in the atmosphere and beautiful sights whilst enjoying chilled sherry and excellent tapas. I will definitely be planning another trip to this beuatiful place.
