Take the bus to Aracena and Ronda. Ronda is pretty well know, a nice town on top of a hill with a magnificent view across Andalucia. Aracena on the other hand - you wont find in any touristguide - but a very pleasant andalucian village, with an impressive cave not to be missed.
Palace of San Telmo
by sandysmith
The Palace of San Telmo, built in 17th and 18th century is one of the most beautiful examples of Sevillian baroque style. It was difficult to capture it all in one photo - best viewed from across the road to appreciate it all and then study some closer details. It is usesd as the Anadalucian Regional Parliament building.
AHHHHHHH SIESTA TIME
by LoriPori
One of the customs I love about Spain is that they "take time out to smell the roses". SIESTA TIME is a time-honoured tradition that most Spanish cities adhere to. Make sure you get everything you need as at 2 o'clock most shops close, so the employees can go home to their families for a few hours. It's such a wonderful idea. Maybe we should adopt somehtthing like that, so that we're not so stressed out. But, they do open late into the evening. Because of the hot summer days, people come out later in the evening when it is a lot cooler.
Embarrassment
by betis1
Love it, embrace it, hug it like you can't get enough of it because if you're really worried about embarrassing yourself here than you're going to have a hard time. You can't be an expert on the language and culture or know how they do everything. To worry yourself about everything you say or do will keep you from learning more and in many cases advancing your confidence here. A little guts with no fear to speak will have others laughing at you from time to time, but you'll make it much further. Every time you learn how to ask for, do or get something it makes it that much easier the rest of the time you're here. And think about it - Sevillanos see and hear these mistakes almost every day, so it's nothing new to them. Most of the time when you try to speak or make a mistake you can just smile and the person behind the bar or desk will happily help you. Sometimes they won't, but remember you can find jerks everywhere in this world.
Italica ruins
by Carmela71
Go to Santiponce just 10 km outside Sevilla in direction to Merida (You have to pass near the old Expo 92)
a 100% recomended excursion, free entrance
Italica was a roman city founded in 205 A.D. Its amphitheatre, the mosaics, the remains of thermal baths, the theatre and classical sculptures all deserve the visit
