Seville Experiences

Overview

Seville is a city that arrests attention from the moment you set foot in its streets. Stunningly beautiful cathedrals, immeasurably ornate and decadent palaces, countless picturesque plazas and fountains – at face value, there are few places as immediately alluring as Seville.

Scratch just a little beneath this surface of awe-inspiring aesthetic, and you’ll find a city bursting at the seams with a complex, fascinating heritage. As a crossroads of cultures – Romans, Moors, Christians, Gyspys and many more – there are stories weaving their way through the winding medieval lanes and seeping from hidden alcoves.

Whilst history is one of the main draws to Seville, the Andalusian capital is very much about the here and now. Think buzzing local plazas, legendary tapas and evenings spent in atmospheric, authentic bars tucked away in secret corners of the city, sipping red wine as the sound of gently plucked guitar strings washes over you.

And, of course, whether you’re an expert dad dancer or full-on Saturday Night Fever diva, it wouldn’t be Seville without immersing yourself in its native culture trying your hand at Flamenco. Olé.

What our travellers are saying...

Maria told us the history, showed us the best spots and introduced us to tapas we would never have even tried if we did it on our own. And then she changed into her Flamenco outfit and took us to a local bar which was small and intimate and a real insight into the life in Triana.

I had a wonderful night of tapas and flamenco with Maria. I learned so much from her about the history of flamenco, and Spanish history in general, saw an amazing show, and ate the best tapas during my time in Seville. Maria was easy and fun to be around. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Absolutely excellent experience from the accommodation to the classes and everything in between! Well organised! I will definitely be booking again!!

D Kearns

All the staff were friendly and I was tutored by Pedro Martin who was great fun and a superb teacher. He can speak multiple languages well and was fluent in English. He had good banter but was very serious about what he was teaching and has given me the blueprint to expand my playing to new levels.

Second time I have done this flamenco guitar course and I loved it! Great teacher and staff and fellow students!

W Sheikh

only wish i had stayed for longer than a weekend to learn more! Very authentic approach to flamenco dance...starting with rhythms and structure of the conversation between all the performers, very cool! And the dances that we learned were super accessible, even for the women in my class who weren't spanish speakers, we all helped each other out! amazing weekend, i will be back.

This tour was amazing from the beginning to the end. It is a very nice way to discover the countryside around Sevilla. The organisation is perfect both very friendly and professional. The ranch is a wonderful place and we really had the "wow effect" when we arrived. Many thanks Dani for this great tour and I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting the region.

Laura

My wife and I visited Seville last week and arranged to go horse riding in the Andalusian countryside. We were not sure if we could fit this trip in to our short city visit but are so glad we did. We were picked up from our rented apartment bang on time and driven to the ranch outside Seville which was about a 25 minute drive. It was much larger than we realised, stabling 65 horses in all. The owner Daniel, greeted us and based on our limited exp

Our group of 3 had a wonderful morning riding through olive groves and an orange orchard on beautiful horses. The stable was a quick 25 minute ride from our accommodations. Fran, our driver, was right on time (a bit early, actually) and took us there and back. The horse farm staff, especially the owner and our guide Daniel, were very hospitable. I highly recommend this unique way of experiencing a small slice of Spanish life. Thanks to Mahsa for

Winter

Cool and crowd-free, winter can be a great time if you want to avoid queues, hordes of tourists and really experience Seville as the locals do. Temperatures are fairly mild, but you might catch some rain.

Spring

The buzzing months, from March onwards the city awakens and becomes alive with energy, as the locals celebrate Semana Santa (Holy Week) and Feria de Abril.

Summer

Hot. Very hot. Sightseeing can become a sweaty proposition this time of year, and the city sinks into a lazy slumber, but if you’re a fan of blazing blue skies and warm summer nights, then this is the time for you.

Autumn

Visiting Seville in the Autumn can represent the very best times to go sightseeing. The harsh edge has been dialled down off the oppressive summer heat, and life is injected back into the city after a few months of siesta.
