I have only praise for Terea Y Javi as the best kind of Air BnB hosts, their lovely apartment and of course the wonderful city of Sevilla. Centrally located but quiet and peaceful, the accommodation on the second floor has a terrace where you can enjoy a relaxing drink after a busy day of sight-seeing, with a marvellous view of the old town with the Cathedral in the distance. We stayed 4 nights and ticked off many of the key sights during our stay. We were fortunate to be there over Easter ( Semena Santa ) and witness the religious parades, decorated floats, marching bands and of course the robed, hooded Nazarenos who look like sinister Ku Klux Klan members to the uninitiated.
We walked 10-12km every day visiting many of the key sites including the Real Alcazar ( go on on Monday for cheaper tickets ) the Cathedral and Giralda Tower, the impressive wooden structure of Setas de Sevilla, the Plaza de Espana, the district of Triana with its rich gypsy and flamenco history and the lively area of Alameda de Hercules with its tapas bars and restaurants. Regular breaks in bars and cafes made all the walking relatively easy. I even got to see a Sevilla FC v Real Madrid match on the Sunday night. Just by the apartment is the Case de Pilatos, a 16th century palace with a peaceful, beautifully laid out garden. The real joy of Sevilla though is just wandering the back streets of Santa Cruz and other areas, possibly getting lost but then coming across an interesting street lined with orange trees, a peaceful square, a crowded bar serving excellent tapas or a quirky shop of some kind.
Samuel Johnson, the great English diarist once wrote if you are tired of London then you are tired of life . I would say the same could certainly be said of Sevilla !
