Overview: car trip from Tarifa to Seville

Setting off on a car trip to the core of Andalusia from Tarifa to Seville means going through the green hills and vast countryside of southern Spain and ending up in the cultural jewel of a city, Seville. Spanning around 133 miles (215 km), your drive will take around two and a half to three hours, but with the cities, villages, and historical sites you’ll explore along the way, your trip might be longer - and definitely more enjoyable!

Leaving Tarifa’s sunny beaches and days full of windsurfing on the narrow strait behind, you’ll head to the embrace of expansive plains and hills dotted with lovely villages of Andalusia. Going through the highways will make a smooth and fast three hour drive and you’ll be enjoying the views passing through your window in peace. The route is marked by so many must-see places that choosing some might be a little complicated so you can take note of our tips. Start exploring with Jerez de la Frontera, a city preserving a good 3000 years of history. It is one of those cities in Spain where you can witness the blend of Christian and Muslim cultures and architecture reflected in Arab Baths and Olive Garden. Then, continue to Arcos de la Frontera, an official national monument for its beauty. The color combination of the bright brown hillside and the small white house climbing up to the top of it will be a sight to behold.

About Seville

Every city has a color and energy of its own, and if we were to pick one for Seville, it would be the orange of a setting sun reflected in the fruit trees, the great palace, and the cathedral. Traveling from Tarifa to Seville will transport you from the vast blue of Tarifa to the warm vibes of Seville.

Seville is the capital of Andalusia, and here, the grandeur of its past exists so magnificently that it has taken over the city - in the most fairytale way possible. The most dominant of all the reminiscences of Seville’s history is the Royal Alcazar, one of the oldest palaces in the world that are still in use. Have you ever wondered, out of this many Gothic cathedrals in the world, which one could be the largest? If yes, you’ll finally find it in Seville. The Seville Cathedral is not only the largest one in the world but it also houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus and its bell tower Giralda, standing 105 meter tall. Don’t forget to go up to the tower for a good look at the city. The beauty of the historical buildings and sites is quite powerful in Seville, but the culture that lives through the traditions that are still practiced is the life and soul of the city. Seville is the heart of flamenco and the dance lives through the city’s intimate flamenco venues in the Triana and Alameda districts. One of the best times to witness this is during the annual festival Feria de Abril. You’ll find colorful art pieces all around the city, lively tapas bars popping up at every corner, views of the Guadalquivir River, narrow alleys, and secret courtyards in this charming city. Plan your trip in a way that you’ll get to experience all its beauty.

From Tarifa to Seville: travel tips

Your trip from Tarifa to Seville will be one of the most enjoyable ones you’ve had, especially if you are prepared. Take a look at our tips before you set off on your journey.

### Start traveling early When traveling from Tarifa to Seville, consider starting your journey early in the morning. It will not only help you avoid the peak traffic hours but also maximize your time in Seville, giving you a full day to explore. It is especially advantageous if you’re taking public transport since buses and trains tend to be less crowded. The fresh and chill air of the morning will also be nicer than the noon sun. ### Plan your route around the weather Dress in layers since the climate between Tarifa and Seville is quite diverse, and it can be significantly windier and cooler in Tarifa due to its coastal location. Check the weather forecast in advance to plan your outfit and pack accordingly. Bring along lightweight and breathable clothes, for Seville can be extremely hot, especially during the summer. Remember to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun with a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Check the weather forecast here. ### Explore stopovers along the way Turn your trip from Tarifa to Seville into a mini road trip by making interesting stops. Especially if you are traveling with Daytrip, make sure you add the stops to your itinerary before you book your trip. Consider making a stop in Jerez de la Frontera and enjoy its exquisite sherry wine production. Then continue to the Archaeological Ensemble of Italica, and stroll along the main avenue, mosaics and ruins of thermal baths.

How to get from Tarifa to Seville

You can get from Tarifa to Seville easily, and with several options you can choose from. Take a look at the alternatives and pick the one that suits most to your preferences.

### Tarifa to Seville by car Driving from Tarifa to Seville with a rented car is a popular option since it offers a good amount of flexibility. The ride will take you approximately two and a half to three hours. You’ll be following the most direct route, which is via the A-381 and AP-4 highways, connecting through Jerez de la Frontera. While there is flexibility as a big plus that comes with driving, you’ll need to attend to the details around the whole ride. Firstly, the AP-4 segment is a toll road, so be prepared for the costs. Secondly, keep in mind that parking in Seville is challenging, so consider arranging the parking in advance. ### Tarifa to Seville by bus Taking a bus from Tarifa to Seville is a cost-effective alternative you can consider. The bus ride takes about three to four hours of your time. Transportes Comes offers direct bus services between the two cities, but the schedules can be less frequent than other modes of transport, so make sure to plan and book your tickets according to the latest available timetable. ### Tarifa to Seville by a combination of bus and train It is possible to combine bus and train to get from Tarifa to Seville. You’ll need to take a bus from Tarifa to Algeciras and then catch a train from Algeciras to Seville. The duration of this trip varies depending on connection time but generally takes about four to five hours. Remember that careful planning is required to arrange smooth connections between bus and train services. This option may also not be ideal if you have a lot of luggage. ### Tarifa to Seville by private car service Book a door-to-door private car service like Daytrip if you prefer ultimate flexibility and comfort. Your local driver picks you up from your door and takes you to your precise destination. On the way, while you explore the cities and villages you added to your trip, your driver will wait for you. You won’t have to carry your luggage, think about driving or parking. You’ll only need to make the most of your journey and enjoy all the way to Seville. Plus, compared to taking a taxi, with a private car service, you’ll be charged as soon as you book your trip and won’t need to arrange the payment through an unreliable taximeter.

Things to do when you get to Seville

Leaving your smooth and fun trip from Tarifa to Seville behind, all left to do is to plan how to enjoy Seville in the best possible way. You'll undoubtedly visit the Cathedral of Seville and the Alcazar Palace. So here are some other things to do, see, and enjoy.

### Experience the flamenco at Casa de la Memoria Immerse yourself in Andalusian culture by experiencing a live flamenco performance at Casa de la Memoria. This intimate venue, set in a beautiful traditional Andalusian patio, offers authentic flamenco shows that capture passion for this Spanish art form. Unlike larger, more tourist-oriented tablaos, Casa de la Memoria focuses on the emotional depth of flamenco. It's a mesmerizing way to spend an evening surrounded by powerful vocals, intricate guitar play, and passionate dance. ### Stroll through the Metropol Parasol Explore the modern side of Seville by visiting the Metropol Parasol, locally known as "Las Setas" (The Mushrooms) due to its unique wooden structure, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Located in the La Encarnación square, this architectural marvel was built to keep the Encarnacion Square as the heart of the city as it used to be. In the past, the square had the biggest and the main food market that supplied the whole city. And with the Metropol Parasol’s brilliant design, the square gained back its popularity. ### Explore the Santa Cruz neighborhood Wander through the narrow streets of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the historic Jewish quarter of Seville. This lovely area is a labyrinth of cobbled lanes, colorful flowers, and hidden plazas. The white houses around are decorated with wrought-iron balconies. Santa Cruz offers a deep dive into the culture of Seville, with its many small shops, tapas bars, and historical sites like the Hospital de los Venerables.

When is the best time to visit Seville

When you are deciding when would be the ideal time to travel from Tarifa to Seville, aim for the period before the scorching heat sets in and before the tourist season peaks. Early in the season, meaning between March and May, the crowds are thinner, making sightseeing more pleasant, especially given Seville's tendency to become intensely hot towards the end of May.

Additionally, the Feria de Abril, Seville’s most celebrated festival, takes place in late April. It transforms the city into a vibrant spectacle of flamenco fashion and day-to-night festivities, including a carnival and endless dancing accompanied by rebujitos. Experiencing this festival, even for a day, while exploring Seville’s other attractions, is a beautiful opportunity to taste the city’s flamenco culture and promises an unforgettable time.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Seville to Tarifa Trip - Excellent Experience

“We were visiting Seville with the next stop on our vacation being Tangier, Morocco. Unfortunately, there were no trains to take us from Seville to the Port of Tarifa to board the ferry to Morocco. We could take the train to another city, and then a bus, or take a bus direct to Tarifa. Neither appealed to us and a friend recommended DayTrip for a personal driver to take us to the port. The booking experience on their website was extremely easy to follow and they even offered several tours we could add to our trip. Unfortunately, the timing didn't line up and we had to go straight to the port. A few days in advance, I received an email with the driver's information, his car information, and a picture. The morning we were checking out, our driver arrived early but we got locked out of our room with our luggage inside due to a faulty door lock. Our day started out very stressful, but our driver, Pedro, assured us that we were not an inconvenience and that we had plenty of time to make it to the port. After resolving the issue with the door lock, Pedro took our bags and loaded up the car. He was dressed very professionally and had water waiting for us. During our drive, he offered some small talk and pointed out a few interesting sites. He also stopped at a roadside cafe for my friend to get a much-needed coffee. He drove safely for the entire three hours and never once made us feel unsafe. I am so grateful we chose to use DayTrip rather than the bus. First, we would have missed the bus because of our door issue, and second, it was much less stressful being able to sit in the back of a nice car while being driven the three hours. Pedro was so very kind to us the entire trip. Yes, it was more expensive to use DayTrip than the bus, but the benefits outweighed the cost. We were able to decide what time we wanted to be picked up, if we wanted, we could have added additional stops, and we could relax rather than sit amongst 2-3 dozen other people on a cramped bus. Had we not already had transportation scheduled for our trips in Morocco, we would have booked DayTrip again.”

An unexpected and wonderful pleasure. Much more than a car ride!

“This was a perfect choice. We weren’t sure of the best and most reliable way to get from Seville to Tarifa in order to get our ferry ride on time to Tangier. I researched the choices and really liked what I read about Daytrip so I decided to try it. It was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Nabiel arrived well ahead of schedule and turned out to be much more than an excellent driver. He was a wealth of knowledge. The ride turned out to be more like a tour. Also he told us everything we needed to know about the ferry and the port. The ride turned out to be a definite highlight that we were not expecting. I will always use Daytrip for all future travels. Thank you so much for the amazing service.”
