Sevilla

Pros: Great weather, good food, gorgeous faded grandeur
Cons: Expensive, not for the linguistically complacent

My husband and I spent ten days in November in southern Spain, half of that time just outside of Sevilla. During our time there we made three day-trips to Sevilla. Normally, I wouldn't consider this enough time to write up a review on the city, but I ...

Pros: Beautiful, romantic, great climate,great people
Cons: I didn't have long enough to stay there

Pros: A beautiful City in every sense of the word.
Cons: None for me.

My Hubby and myself recently had a two week vacation in the Algarve, Portugal. We took our fist trip to Spain ever, travelling from our base in Albufeira, by coach to Seville. The journey was not too bad and we had four hours free-time in Seville. It was ...

Pros: possibly the most romantic city in the world; vibrancy of life; exuberant fiestas

The first time I visited Sevilla was as a traveler during Semana Santa, or Holy Week. I was completely overwhelmed with the romance of the city, the passion of the people, and the grace of the architecture. I vowed to live there, and a few months ...

Pros: Cathedral, weather, architecture
Cons: It's not known as the Frying Pan of Andalucia for nothing

I've just been on holiday in the Algarve. I had a brilliant time by the way, and I would recommend Monte Gordo, the town where we stayed to any European looking for a relaxing, good value break. Not sure I'd recommend it to you American types though- I'm...

Pros: superb historical attractions, charming neighborhoods, amazing weather
Cons: hot in summer months, too much to do

I spent the spring semester of 1995 studying abroad in Seville, with ALOT of other college students. Even though the city is crawling with American exchange students, you can still get a strong sense of the history that permeates every inch of this...

Pros: Quintessential Spain: beautiful architecture, great food, great flamenco, great walking city
Cons: HOT! (But I like heat.) Bullfighting, even on T.V., got to me

I spent three weeks in Spain last summer and tried to see it all: Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Santander (a northern coastal resort), Cordoba, Granada, and short day trips to Toledo and the new Guggenheim in Bilbao.

Of all these places,...

Pros: Beauty, people
Cons: Heat, gypsies

I arrived in Sevilla on a hot Saturday (read: 37 C) in September. I almost melted...but that was before I fell in love with the city.

I attended a language program based in Sevilla, and was lucky that it was one of the few not overrun by...

Pros: Beautiful city!
Cons: We didn't spend enough time there

Much to my amazement, there is a kind of moat with water in front of the decorative, semi-circular government building in the Plaza de Espana. College aged kids were having a ball rowing to their hearts’ content, having races with each other, or...

Pros: during March, April, May - great weather
Cons: watch out for the cold and hot weather!

I spent a semester studying abroad in Sevilla. Here is some information about the weather in Sevilla.

Pros: Beautiful, Beautiful, and Beautiful

Pros: Friendly people, beautiful weather, great nightlife and rich culture.
Cons: Very hot in the summer and sometimes difficult to find English speakers.

I was lucky enough to spend a semester of study in Sevilla, though I could have spent a year there. I arrived in January of 1997, and for the next 3 1/2 months, felt completely at home. I've already made one return trip to the city, and I look forward...

Pros: The best tapas bars in Seville
Cons: Fake touristic bar

Review Topic:  Restaurants

I have been living in Seville for 30 years and I really feel very bad when I see some poor tourist going to the wrong bars to enjoy typical Spanish "tapas". If you let me do so, I would like...
