Seville is a well-known Spanish city that has recently become very popular. A weekend in Seville can offer relaxed walks through historic sites, lazy afternoons eating tapas in the sunshine and vibrant nightlife. It’s easy to fall in love with Seville as locals are charming, accommodation options are plentiful and food and drink are reasonably priced.   It’s a great option for a short city break from the UK.
