About Seville

After your drive from Malaga to Seville, you’ll be welcomed by the warm, Mediterranean climate and Andalusian flare.

Seville was founded over 2000 years ago, but it was the Moors who arguably left the most lasting and distinctive mark on the city. You'll see Islamic influence on the architecture throughout Seville, but the UNESCO-listed Alcazar is undoubtedly the pinnacle. While strolling the streets, you'll be shaded by some 48,000 orange trees, which are the symbol of the city, and their bitter oranges are used for marmalade. Seville is also the home of Flamenco dancing, and you can catch performances in its many tablaos.

From Malaga to Seville: travel tips

Get out of town

The Spanish countryside is full of untamed national parks and villages with unique claims to fame. Use this opportunity to see more than just the cities and coastline by planning local excursions and getting the full, authentic experience. Daytrip makes it easy to fill you trip with sightseeing stops, plus, you can chat with your English-speaking driver about local culture.

Live like a local: siesta style

Spain copes with the intense heat and sunshine of the afternoon by closing up shop for a midday rest. It is normal for shops and attractions to be closed for a few hours after lunch at the hottest part of the day. However, to make up for it, you will notice they close later than you might expect in other countries. Try to time your trip to be on the road during siesta!

Things to do when you get to Seville

The fun continues after your trip from Malaga! Here are the best things to do when you get to Seville!

Go to greater heights at the Seville Cathedral Complex

The Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and stands out amid Seville’s mostly Moorish architecture. Its grandiose facade gives way to an equally intricate interior, both of which are so impressive that the cathedral was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the unique pallbearer sculpture marking Christopher Columbus’ tomb! Also part of the cathedral complex is the Giralda Tower, which will bring you 340 ft (104 m) above the city for 360° views!

Admire the Alcazar

The Alcazar of Seville is another of the city’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, alongside the cathedral and Archive of the Indies. Built as a fort and later transformed into a royal palace by the Moors, the Alcazar is the finest example of Mudéjar architecture in the Iberian peninsula. Take a guided tour to be blown away by the impossibly intricate architectural details! If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the Alcazar and its gardens brought Dorne to life.

Dancing and dinner along the Guadalquivir River

The Guadalquivir River connects Seville to the ocean, making the city Spain’s only commercial river port. The riverfront promenade has plenty of restaurants and bars with outdoor patios along the river where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of warm Mediterranean nights with other couples and families.

Make dinner reservations at a flamenco tablao for the ultimate Seville experience. Flamenco is the regional dance of Andalusia and has an upbeat and passionate vibe. Enjoy a traditional meal with the added spice of dancers and musicians. If you find the rhythm contagious, sign up for a flamenco class!

When is the best time to visit Seville

The best time to visit Seville is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). The temperatures are a pleasant range, at about 64° to 82° F (18° to 28° C) without much rain. Springtime in Seville is especially lovely as the city's 48,000 orange trees burst into bloom.

In contrast, the summer months bring sweltering temperatures exceeding 95° F (35° C). Seville isn’t on the coast and is very far south, so coping with the heat can be challenging. If you visit Seville in summer, be like the locals and take a siesta during the hottest part of the day.
