You’ve just found out the Alcázar tickets are sold out. Maybe you didn’t realise how far ahead you needed to book. Maybe you’re already in Seville, refreshing the official website and hoping a time slot will appear, but everything still says unavailable. Either way, this happens all the time. The Royal Alcazar is one of…
You’ve booked Seville, you’ve booked your hotel, and now you’re staring at a map of bus routes, metro lines, tram stops and taxi ranks, wondering how any of this is going to work in a language you don’t speak. Here’s the part nobody tells you: you almost certainly don’t need most of it. Seville’s public…
Search for the best time to visit Seville, and every travel site says the same thing: March to May, maybe September to October, and April if you can. It’s not wrong, exactly.

Most visitors to Barrio Santa Cruz in Seville follow the same route: Cathedral, Alcázar, a quick wander through the prettiest lanes, a photo under the orange trees, and then back to the hotel. I get why. Santa Cruz looks exactly how people imagine Seville will look: narrow shaded streets, whitewashed walls, tiled patios, orange trees,…
Looking for things to do in Seville in May? You’ve picked one of the best months to visit. May is the month I usually recommend to people who want Seville without the inferno of summer. You still get long golden evenings, gardens in bloom, terrace dinners, and a full calendar of local events, but you…
If you’ve searched for craft beer in Seville, you’ve likely hit a wall of outdated lists and bars that quietly closed years ago. And when you’re already in the city, with only a few evenings to play with, you don’t want to waste time on stale pints or underwhelming atmospheres. Seville might be better known…
