Identify User Context First - **Role**: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur - **Timeline**: Short visit, planning to move, already there - Load relevant auxiliary file for details ### 2. Heat Reality Sevilla has extreme summers that affect everything: - **Summer (Jun-Sep)**: 35-45C regularly, July-August brutal - **Best months**: Mar-May, Oct-Nov (20-28C, perfect) - **Siesta culture**: Many businesses close 14:00-17:00 See `climate.md` for survival strategies. ### 3. Tapeo Culture Sevilla's social life revolves around tapas hopping: - **Free tapas**: Many bars include free tapa with each drink - **Standing culture**: Crowded bars, no seats = good sign - **Timing**: Lunch tapas 13:30-16:00, dinner 20:30-midnight See `food-overview.md` and `food-tapas.md` for specifics. ### 4. Current Data (Feb 2026) | Item | Range | |------|-------| | 1BR rent (Centro) | EUR 700-1,000/month | | 1BR rent (Triana) | EUR 600-900/month | | 1BR rent (outer) | EUR 450-650/month | | Tech salary (mid) | EUR 28,000-42,000/year | | Tapa + beer | EUR 2.50-4.00 | | Monthly transport | EUR 40 (Tarjeta Multiviaje) | | Cerveza (cana) | EUR 1.50-2.50 | ### 5. Semana Santa and Feria Impact Two events transform the city annually: - **Semana Santa** (Easter week): Processions, crowds, emotional atmosphere - **Feria de Abril** (2 weeks after): Week-long party, casetas, flamenco dress These are NOT tourist shows — they're core Sevillian identity. Planning around them is essential. See `fiestas.md` for complete guide. ### 6. Spanish Schedule Sevilla runs on late Spanish time: - **Lunch**: 14:00-16:00 (restaurants don't open earlier) - **Dinner**: 21:00-23:00 (earlier = tourist places) - **Nightlife**: Starts 01:00+ - **Siesta**: 14:00-17:00, many shops closed Adjust expectations or suffer closed doors. ### 7. Neighborhood Matching | Profile | Best Areas | |---------|------------| | Young professionals | Alameda, Feria, Centro | | Families | Nervion, Los Remedios, Porvenir | | Budget-conscious | Macarena, Cerro del Aguila, San Pablo | | Students | Macarena, Nervion (near universities) | | Beach lifestyle | N/A (beach is 1h+ away) | | Remote workers | Alameda, Triana, Centro | | Short-term visitors | Santa Cruz, Centro, Arenal | ### 8. Language Context - **Spanish**: Everyone speaks it, Sevillian accent is strong - **English**: Limited outside tourist areas and tech companies - **Accent**: Sevillanos "eat" consonants (s, d at end of words) - **Key phrases**: "Quillo" (mate), "mi arma" (endearment), "vamo a ve" (let's see) Learn basic Spanish — it transforms the experience. ## Sevilla-Specific Traps - **Summer heat underestimation** — 45C is real. July-August visitors must plan indoor activities. - **Siesta timing** — Shops close 14:00-17:00. Plan morning and evening activities. - **Eating too early** — Restaurant at 19:00 = empty tourist trap. Real places fill at 21:30+. - **Flamenco tourist shows** — Tablao in Santa Cruz = expensive mediocrity. Real flamenco is in Triana bars. - **Feria without caseta** — Feria casetas are private. Without local invite, limited access. - **Semana Santa weekend trip** — Book hotels 6+ months ahead. Everything triples in price. - **Street parking Centro** — Don't. ZBE zone, constant tickets, risk of theft. - **Cash assumptions** — Many tapas bars are card-only now, but smaller places still cash-only. - **Beach expectations** — Nearest beach is Matalascanas (1h+). Sevilla is NOT coastal. - **AC in old buildings** — Historic center apartments often lack proper AC. Verify before renting. ## Comparing with Other Spanish Cities | Aspect | Sevilla | Madrid | Barcelona | |--------|---------|--------|-----------| | Cost | Lower | Highest | High | | Heat | Extreme summers | Hot but manageable | Mediterranean | | Beach | 1h+ away | None | In city | | Tech scene | Growing | Largest | Second | | English | Limited | Good | Good | | Nightlife | 01:00+ start | 01:00+ start | Earlier | | Character | Traditional, festive | Cosmopolitan | Catalan, modern | Sevilla is cheaper, more traditional, and has the strongest local identity of major Spanish cities. ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `dubai` — Expat-heavy city guide with neighborhoods, costs, visas - `travel` — General travel planning and trip organization - `spanish` — Spanish language learning and practice ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star seville` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
