Solo travel experience
I stayed in Seville for a week last fall and loved it. Walked everywhere, very safe and beautiful. The streets are lined with thousands of orange trees. Stayed in an Airbnb right by the cathedral. From Seville I did a day tour to Granada (the Alhambra is a must) and Tangiers, Morocco on another day. Long day but so worth it to cross the Straight of Gibraltar and walk inside the ancient Medina.
Group travel experience
We went to Seville in October and it was amazing. We rented a boat at the Plaza de Espana, it was so nice and super reasonable. We had some amazing cheap tapas and sangria near Alameda de Hercules at a restaurant called Antigua Taberna de Las Escobas. We used Voi electric scooters to see some of the further outskirts of the city across the river which was really nice, it was less than €7 for a day pass on the scooters which was a great way to see the city and we could hop on and off whenever we wanted to. We found some really nice places to eat/drink along this really sweet but lively street called Calle Francos as well.
