Luggage and bags: Pack light. Don't carry a lot of bags, especially if you have rented a car and are staying in the Barrio de Santa Cruz as the parking lots are few and far between. I also learned not to use a lock on my suitcase - the airline lost my luggage and rather than delivering it to my hotel as they said they would, I had to go to the airport to unlock the lock so customs could check it - which took about 5 seconds.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes are a must. The streets resemble cobblestone and could be killer for heels.

Luggage and bags: I would recommend a type of baggage with wheels on it, and something other than a backpack. Travellers who use luggage are treated better. Of course always leave space in your bag for purchases. There are many wonderful things to buy in Sevilla.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Don't forget your umbrella in spring. I neglected to bring one and was rained on two of three days. Also, bring a good pair of walking shoes that you won't mind getting dirty (something washable).

Photo Equipment: Always bring extra batteries, zip-lock type baggies, and loads of film. I usually took 4-6 rolls out a day. I also got into the habit of using little index cards to write notes on what I was photographing (including type of film, # of exposures, b&w/color, date & location). They turned out to be a great tool at identifying photos I had forgotten about.

Miscellaneous: If you're sensitive to the sun, don't be afraid to carry an umbrella

Waiting for the rain to stop....

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: When you visit in february be sure to bring an umbrella. Otherwise you could end up like we did. Hiding under an overpass waiting for the rain to stop.
Almost everybody there carried an umbrella.
