Day trips from Sevilla
by oxfordlad
I will be going to Sevilla for 6 days in October, what days trips do you recommend from there?
Re: Day trips from Sevilla
by puerto_lover
What are your interests? You can do many things in 6 days. Will you plan to stay in Seville all the time and just do day trips, or do you want to get around and stay in different places? Will you be hiring a car or using public transport?

Will be staying in Sevilla and using public transport.

It is easy to get to Cordoba using the fast train from Santa Justa statiuon. (There are AVE and AVANT trains - both fast but AVANT is cheaper because its more regional) Look at times on www.renfe.es - language change bottom left.
Also possible if well planned to get to Granada and see the ALhambra. You need to look at all the angles here as it takes 3 hours by bus or train between Granada & Seville.
Also nice to visit South and see Jerez and Cadiz. Train is nice for this sector too.

There are plenty of places around Seville that are well aorth visiting. You've got the caves of Aracena, the beaches of Cadiz, the mountains of Sierra Nevada. The white villages of Ronda, Antequera, Grazalema, and El Bosque are all very interesting. Further afield you have southern Portugal - Sagres in particular.
I found a lot of acivities on www.guiasandalucia.com that might help you.....
No matter what you end up doing I can almost guarantee that you'll fall in love with the place!! Enjoy!
Travel Tips for Sevilla
Connected to Madrid by AVE...
by Pegasus74
Connected to Madrid by AVE tracks, Seville is easily accessible and absolutely sightly. Unless you are a very keen walker, you probably might want to hop on buses along the way as you witness its beauty. There are unfortunately no subways in town. Bus no. 32 takes you to the Encarnacion stop in Old Town from the Santa Justa train station. That’s all I can comment about transportation because I have always been relying on my self-driven No. 11 wherever I go.
Fortunately in Seville, the prime attractions are not too much scattered. The focal point in the Old Town is the Giralda, a minaret which has towered since the 12th century and today serves as belfry to the Cathedral de Santa Maria de la Sede. The cathedral is the largest Gothic structure in the world and the third largest Christian church after St. Peter’s in Rome and St. Paul’s in London. The interior is amazingly golden while its outside courtyard is Sevillish orangy. In fact almost everywhere in Seville is neatly decorated with orange trees; or do you call that clementines? I wonder the fruit stores are selling oranges coming directly from the trees along the streets. Anywayz, the view of the entire Seville can best be appreciated from the top of the Giralda. As you ascend to the top near the hour, be calm not to let the chimes of the bells roll you down.
Orange Trees
by jamiesno
In Sevilla there were plenty of orange trees around similiar to Cordoba but not as many.
I remember really enjoying the smell and seeing these throughout the city. It was certainly different for me and very unique.
roman influences??
by tompt
S.P.Q.HIS
An inscription in the cityhall. As this cityhall is made in the 16th century it could not possibly be a roman inscription as they were gone for centuries by then. But it must be inspired on the romans. The roman S.P.Q.R (the senate and the people of Rome) must be the inspiration. But what is HIS? some would ask. Well Sevilla was not always known as Sevilla. In roman times it was known as Hispalis. Therefor the inscription would read: the senate and the people of Hispalis.
The name Hispalis changed to the arabic name Isbilya, which later became Sevilla.
El Botellon
by agarcia
El Botellon means basically drinking and partying in the street but always among civilized terms, as drinking is Spain constitutes much more a social activity than a pretext to get yourself awfully drunken. If not the mayor Spanish contribution to the humankind (the honor of that position relays on the "siesta") certainly the art of partying in the middle of the street is something in which we Spaniards excel.
For good or worse, this custom has being eradicated from certain areas of Spain, sadly being Madrid, my hometown, among them. Things are quite different in Sevilla and the rest of Andalucia, though, and being part of El Botellón is probably the best way to explore Sevilla’s nightlife.
