Seville

Why this trip

Two nights is genuinely enough for Seville. The old town is walkable end to end in twenty minutes, the Alcázar and the Triana market sit on opposite banks of the same short stroll, and dinner culture starts late enough that a Friday evening arrival costs you nothing.

• Out 18:00, back 19:45 · direct · 2h 35m
• You stay in Santa Cruz — Converted townhouse, patio breakfast.
• The one thing you'd do: Land and get into town — EA airport bus from Terminal 1 to Plaza de Armas, €4, roughly 35 minutes. A taxi is a flat €25 into the centre.

• 🍷 Food and wine
• 🏛 Culture fix
• 🌊 Sun and sea
• 🎒 Solo-friendly

AVE fares step up sharply in the last 48 hours before departure.
