It was a joy to be in Sevilla for a week. These are all the posts I made about the city:

The food was consistently great—I think we only had a couple misses our entire week there. We had a few places we went back to multiple times (Eslava, Bodega Dos de Mayo, and Bodega Mateo Ruiz) because they were delicious.

I think my favorite landmarks were the Catedral de Sevilla, the Plaza de España, and the Real Alcázar. It was neat that we were there the same time as Feria de Abril and got to see so many people dressed up for the occasion, but it definitely is more of a locals fair and, to me, not something to plan a trip around.

We stayed in the Feria neighborhood, which had a lot of things around it but wasn’t directly in the city center (and thus not too loud or busy). The bus stops we used were a short walking distance from our place.

We had a really rocky time with the apartment we booked directly online with a property manager. They didn’t send us the apartment’s info until a day before, then actually sent us the info for two apartments, and they were very inconsistent with responding to either one of us (over email and WhatsApp). The actual apartment was great, but in the future, we’re going to pay a little extra through Airbnb for the peace of mind.

The weather tends to peak at around 5 PM every day, and there were a few days where it got into the 80°s. I’m glad we visited in May and not during the hotter summer months.

Overall, I would be very happy to spend more time in Sevilla, as long as we could avoid the heat. ☀️
