  • Episode 185 - Visiting Seville, Spain: Things to Do & What We Loved

    Episode 185 - Visiting Seville, Spain: Things to Do & What We Loved
    2026/08/18
    We recently went back to Seville with our kids and grandkids and spent several days exploring the Royal Alcázar, Plaza de España, the historic bullfighting arena, flamenco, tapas, churros, and the streets around Seville Cathedral. We also learned a few things along the way, including what you need to book before you arrive and why you probably don't want to drive into the historic center. Today we're talking about what we loved about Seville, what we'd do differently, and some things that will hopefully help you plan your own trip. This was actually our second trip to Seville. The first time was a rushed half-day cruise excursion. This time, we came back with our kids and grandkids and stayed several days, and it completely changed how we experienced the city. So, if you're planning a trip to Spain, Seville is one of those cities that's worth giving more than a day. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.
