A relaxing time in a relaxed city
by travelingcebuano
Taking walks all over Seville is what I enjoy the most. I call it a "perfect walking city" since I felt I could just go on and on, walking anywhere, and still enjoy every bit of the city. Spending a quiet afternoon in Plaza de Espana, watching the crowds go by and spending the afternoon, sitting quietly, observing every bit of this amazing plaza.

I have to defer to Krystynn's page here. I read the page before I went, and did just about everything she suggested. La Giralda, the Cathedral, Flamenco dancing, it was all very
memorable. Seville is unique and beautiful.

This is the flamenco show i watched, I guess this show by this group, Los Gallos, is very popular, I had to buy the ticket in advance because they sell very fast. It was a good show, worth the money.. great costumes, one of the guitar players was great, and I liked 2 dancers: this lady, and this really tall, young guy. They were really good. I wonder if their feet suffer, because they stomp them so much, especially the ladies...
Drink sangria
by TinKan
This is our favorite place that we like to go and drink sangria and sit and watch the world go by.
It is in a little square in the Santa Cruz area of the old city and is a stone throw away from the Alcazar, the church as well as the shopping area.
Be sure to get a pitcher of sangria and eat the fruit in the glass when done.
Hola España!

Actually, you DON'T NEED to pack too many clothings because dresses/ clothes are pretty INEXPENSIVE here in Spain. Yes, go to Spain with a half-filled luggage and you WON'T be disappointed.
If you choose to go in October, better still. It's SALE time. Olé!!
A rule of thumb: DO plan your wardrobe in such a way that you'll have no problem mixing and matching your outfits and it should bring you from day to night. So in this instance, that little black dress WILL come in VERY handy for those nights when you're out partying at night or out sightseeing in the day at a local museum! :-)) Sevilla in Autumm can be hot too especially in the afternoons. Their nights are breezy & cool. So, no need to wear warm jackets when you're out walking the streets at night.
If you wish to blend in with the locals - dress like them. Smart casuals and/or elegant outfits only please. Nothing dorky! ;-)
The following is a rough guide on what I'd pack along with me for an Autumn vacation to the South of Spain (Andalucia) where the weather is more Mediterranean-like:
(1) 1 pair of jeans (in black or denim blue).
(2) 1 short skirt OR skorts
(3) 1 pair of shorts/ bermudas.
(4) 2 summer dresses.
(5) 3 or 4 cotton t-shirts/ tank tops
(6) 1 pair of sandals
(7) 1 pair of evening shoes
(8) 1 little black dress (which doubles up for day + evening events). The trendy crowd of Sevilla do dress up when they go out to party. Go ahead knock 'em dead (the guys, I mean) with your amazing dress sense!
(9) 2 nightgowns/ pyjamas.
(10) 1 bathing suit. DON'T forget to transfer your precious Clarifying toners and astringent, foaming cleanser, Advanced Night Repair/ Vibrant night creams et al into small plastic containers - to save luggage space. Go high-tech, baby! Go high-tech. Nothing less than a digital camera will do.
And if you must snap a picture of that hot hunk or sexy lady in Sevilla (to show off to your friends back home at what they are missing out), I suggest you bring along your new high-tech mobile phone which doubles up as a spy-camera and video recorder! ;-)
Ah, the wonders of modern technology!
