Seville by train Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Seville is hot in July, but seeing the winding streets of the old city, the gorgeous river, and the Giralda are worth the sweat. While Madrid feels like a major city anywhere, Seville felt like Spain.

Quick Tips:

Stay in the old part of town. See the Palacio Real, the Giralda, take a side trip to Cordoba, and do the cheesy city bus tour.

Best Way To Get Around:

Walking is great, cabs are handy. If you can't find your hotel in the narrow streets a cab can always get you there!

Hotel Abanico Best of IgoUgo

Hotel

Quote:
The room was large and the bathroom had gorgeous tile. The room was not luxurious, but the ambience of the hotel was stunning. It is an old home/palace. You look up three stories to the balconies of the upper rooms. Colors are bright yellows and dark blues with stunning tilework. Lobby furniture is comfy. You can buy a beer or bottle of wine from behind the desk and the free breakfast is great.

Beware: they turn off the A/C at 6AM, but if you ask, they turn it back on. Sevilla is hot.
