Transfert en voiture privée de Valencia à Seville

As each region in Spain has its own character, you will be in awe at the contrast between Valencia and Seville. While Valencia seamlessly blends historical charm with modern innovation, Seville will enchant you with the timeless beauty of its majestic buildings and squares.

As you leave the coastal Valencia and approach Seville, make sure you don’t miss out on any sightseeing stops en route, such as the town of Alarcon, Cordoba, or Carmona, which is just a 30-minute drive away from Seville.

Around the 9th century, it is believed that Seville was founded by the Tartessos when the city was named Spal. Later the city was occupied by Phoenicians and Carthaginians. When Romans entered the city in 206 BC, the name of the city was Latinized and thus renamed to Hispalis. In 426, Seville came under Visigothic rule until in 712 it was conquered by the Moors. Later in 1248 Christian forces took over Seville, marking the end of Muslim rule.

During the Golden Age, Seville flourished from the 16th to 17th century, and emblematic landmarks such as Seville Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar were built. It is also the period when the famous writer Cervantes was living in Seville. It is believed that he wrote the famous novel Don Quixote in the prison of Seville due to debts.

Unfortunately, in the 17th century, Seville endured devastating plagues, which led to economic and political issues. Over the years, Seville got back on its feet, and today it is known for its vibrant Andalusian culture, flamenco, beautiful architecture, and monuments that attract many visitors from near and far.

Siesta is still a thing

People in Seville take siesta seriously, so don’t be surprised if you see shops and restaurants closed from around 2 to 5 PM. Meanwhile, you can join the locals and relax during the siesta time or explore one of the beautiful gardens in Seville.
