During these uncertain times many have opted to
holiday closer to home, believing it to be the cheaper option. However, with
offers and discounts at many hotels
across Europe and flights available from low
cost airlines this may not always be the case. Why not venture further a field
and see what Seville in the south of Spain has to
offer?
As the capital of the large southern region of
Andalusia, Seville
has something for everyone. If it’s history you are interested in, like with
the rest of the region, Seville
has many fine examples of architecture left behind after hundreds of years of
Moorish rule. For example, the lofty Giralda tower of the Cathedral, an UNESCO
World Heritage site, and the vast and beautiful Alcazar palace, where even
today the King of Spain stays on his visits to the city. With sights like these
simply wandering around the city is a fascinating and low cost activity.
Flowing through Seville
is the beautiful GuadalquivirRiver, which brought Seville much of its wealth in the days of
Christopher Columbus and now adds to the beauty of this historic city and provides
a picturesque setting for many riverside bars and restaurants.
If it is nightlife that you are looking for Seville can supply you
with everything you want. The carefree Spanish lifestyle means that the town is
always buzzing, not only in the many traditional tapas bars which offer you
delicious little dishes for only a few euros, but also in the bars and clubs.
In the summer months popular venues are the outside terrace clubs and bars
where you can dance the night away beneath the stars.
Getting to Seville is cheap and easy with flights available
with RyanAir from London-Stanstead. Once there you can find all types of accommodation for every type of
traveller, with hostels for the backpacker up to five-star luxury for those who
prefer something special and many reasonably priced, good hotels in between. So why not fight the
crisis, leave your money worries behind and visit Seville.
