Overwhelmed By Sights
by painterdave
If you are here for more than two days, I recommend visiting the Cathedral on one day, and then visiting the Alcazar on a second day. Save your feet, and slow down to a pace more enjoyable, Meanwhile you can walk to the river, cross over and see another neighborhood, walk to the art museum--there is even a small Goya there, shop for a paella pan in an awesome cooking store, or walk to the big square with the fountain and do some people watching. The main idea is not to tire yourself out by standing in long lines and then walking all day. Tomb of Columbus

Don't forget to visit the españa square, architect's Anibal González monument
for the universal exhibition of 1929 and continuous with a pleasant walk
through the park of maria luisa, gift of the infanta to the city of Seville.
You will arrive at the square of America.
Neither stop to visit the Fortress, the kings' residence when they come to this
city. The group of Fortress, walls and Cathedral is simply impressive. You can
continue walking toward the Neighborhood of Santa Cruz, old replete Jewish
neighborhood of narrow streets and full with flowers. Visit their typical
taverns and deguste their tapas authentic jewels of the gastronomy in small
dose. If you like wine, you are in a good place. Possibly that that more you can miss leaving this city it is the climate and
the way that have the sevillanos of enjoying the life in the street, with bars
and restaurants guided to the street. He/she also calls the attention the
coloring of houses and streets. Everything seems to be alive. The ' tapas ' are
magnificent, allow you to advise, where you go request the specialty of the
house.

Visit the Alcazar.

Visit the Alcazar.
The gardens in Sevilla's Alcazar are like something out of Arabian Nights. They are a pure delight to slip into on a hot afternoon. Don't miss seeing the old water reservoir (called the vaulted baths).

You read this everywhere I'm sure but I'll repeat it. Things go at a slower pace so be prepared to wait at banks, stores, bars, restaurants and tourist offices. Waiters and bartenders generally don't work off tips, and while service is generally good here they also aren't bending over backwards to meet your every need. Yet I've never in my life seen people work harder or faster than they do in some of the bars and restaurants here when things are busy. As for working for tips from my point of view that's great. I can't think of anything I hate more than a waiter trying to find something to chat about when the time for the check nears. I'm here to eat, not to bond with the staff.
cheap expensive things...
by Faracy
bring your own dental floss if you want any,
its really expensive here, and I´ve only found it in farmacias..
lubricant (yes you know what I´m talking about) is REALLY expensive... bring your own if you use it.
If you don´t like strong smelling toiletries.. well this isn´t the place for you.. go to a herbalisteria, they (might) have something a little more tolerable, the same goes for those of you who want organic or cruelty free products.. although the latter is more easily found than the first.
Allergy pills are not a big thing here, I´m glad I brought a mega mega pack of generic claritin with me from the States. You may need them more than you think. I´ll let you know what I find here on this, if you don´t have your own. Still looking for non-drowsy pills.
