I stayed in several hotels...

I stayed in several hotels while I was in Spain, the first one I stayed in Madrid, was called Hotel Regente, this was a very comfortable three stars hotel very centrally located, we stayed there for about seven nights. Afterwards we took a tour around Southern Spain and Portugal for nine days, and we stayed in different hotels, like Hotel R. Condor in Granada, Hotel Don Paco in Sevilla. When we return to Madrid, we stayed at Hotel Italia, in the Gran Via,30.
Anywhere between $40.00 to $70.00 a night, at that time. We also stayed at a nice 'Parador de Turismo' in a small town in Andalucia, these places are quite popular and nice throughout Spain.

My wife and I will be in Sevilla on her next birthday. We will be staying in a hotel in Plaza Jerónimo de Córdoba and we would like to know if there are good restaurants within walking distance. We are both around 70 years of age so nothing too strenuous please. How expensive are taxis in Sevilla ?

I was in Sevilla last december and we had a great experiente at Restarant La Cueva. It is in Santa Cruz district and I checked google maps for you, it would be around 15 minutes walking from your hotel. We had there a very good Paella and a couple of beer for around 50 euros that was well worthy. It have a nice and interesting decor and in my opionion would be good for a nice celebration. You can see some picture of the dining room and the decor here http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/bdaa0/3df43/2/.
Taxi in Sevilla are resonabled priced, we spent 23 euro for a nigth transfer to the airport and 5-7 euro for short ride in the center (like it would be from your hotel to the restaurant.
Enjoy yout stay, Sevilla is a great place.
oh if I can suggest you a nice and almost inexpensive flamenco show, consider La casa de la Memoria (more here http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/bdaa0/3df43/5/) it is run by a association that try to preserve the local tradition. We went on a weekend and had a great hour of good music and dance show.

Maybe the oldest tavern in Seville EL RINCONCILLO would be interesting? I have not dined but had Tapas but think they have a restaurant upstairs- take a look at the web site and because it is so close to your lodging why don't you take a close look when you arrive ?

bear in mind that most Spanish people will go out for a meal in the evening quite late so do not expect to have places serving meals until at least 8.30 to 9 pm.
You have a large Tablao or Show for Flamenco not too far away from your lodging called El Palacio Andaluz --- http://www.elpalacioandaluz.com/ --- and maybe you can just go for the show or have some food? I have never been to this venue but as it is nearest to your place then you could think of it ?
Taxis are not very expensive and they are Metered.
