Drink cafe con leche. This is good coffee for little money with hot milk in it. A taste you won´t get elswhere in Europe. But take care - that stuff is strong. Drink fresh orange juice (zumo de naranja). Spain is famous for its oranges - and when you ask for zumo de naranja they will make some for you. DELICIOUS !! Try tapas. If you don´t like fish better make sure you have a good dictionary with you. Next to sea food pork (cerdo) and chicken (pollo) is usual. Spanish food is good but with much olive oil. The food is usually inexpensive. Dinner is late in spain - don´t even look for a restaurant before 6:30pm.
La Noria - Sevilla's Big Wheel
by sandysmith
I had a sprained foot which was quite sore and curtailed my normal fast paced city touring , hence this big wheel, Sevilla's newest attraction was a good opportunity to see the layout of Sevilla without too much effort. Perhaps a bit pricey at 8 euros for 3 revolutions, lasting some 12 minutes but the views were great - especially of the cathedral and onto the Plaza de Espania. This ferris wheel is located in the Prado de San Sebastian. Apparently its a temporary attraction and will later be moved to another city - so even more glad to have had a ride on it!
April Fair in Seville
by Pat&ZoAnn
I don't know if this was because of our short time in Sevilla, or our ignorance of the Spanish language, but the April Fair in Sevilla seemed not to be geared towards tourists. Once on the fairgrounds, we couldn't find any services at all. Don't get me wrong, it was very cool to be there, and we really enjoyed watching the festivities and colourful costumes, but if we do that again, we'll bring a lunch.

by Raffa
Bullfighting is undoubtedly an act of bravery, but it is also a conjunction of science an art which escapes common sense and floods the senses. If to this we add a unique scene like the Real Maestranza of Seville, then the party becomes a pure show.

Day trip to Cadiz from Sevilla

A day trip to Cadiz from Sevilla is entirely possible, you can see many of its best attractions (cathedral, shopping district, roman ruins) if you go early and take a late afternoon bus back.
I took the bus from the San Sebastian station, a return ticket is 18.10 euros and the journey takes about an hour and a half.
