Sevilla in February
Our take
After our vibrant adventures in Granada, we hopped on a three-hour bus to Sevilla for a delightful three-night stay at Hotel Kiver—definitely a must-visit! Sevilla has captured our hearts once again with its relaxed vibe, offering the perfect blend of charm without the overwhelming crowds of Madrid or Barcelona. Our favorite highlights included the stunning Plaza de España, the unique Setas, and leisurely strolls along the water. We indulged in delicious meals at Petit Comité and savored daily gelato from Mito, making our trip unforgettable!
| | This is a continuation of our trip that started in Granada (in another travel post). After a couple of nights there, we took a three-hour bus ride to Sevilla for a three-night stay at Hotel Kiver (highly recommend). We had originally booked a train, but our tickets were cancelled—likely due to the ongoing rail disruptions following the accident back in January. Sevilla remains one of our favorite cities in Spain. This was our second visit. We love the relaxed vibe of the city. It’s a great balance: doesn’t feel overly crowded like Madrid or Barcelona, yet it has some excellent bars and restaurants. If we were to retire in Spain, Sevilla would be at the top of our list. Our highlights this time included the iconic Plaza de España, the Setas, and walks along the water. We also enjoyed wandering around the neighborhoods of Centro, Alfalfa, and Triana. Food favorites: We had dinner at Petit Comité twice because we enjoyed it so much the first night, and we made daily stops to Mito for the amazing gelato.

- First time in Andalusia and fell in love !First four photos are from Seville, the next four are Granada, and the last three are Cádiz. My girlfriend and I flew into Madrid, spent one night there, and then went to Granada for three nights. In Granada we toured the Alhambra, which was incredible. I also highly recommend Hammam Al Andalus, an Arab-style bathhouse that ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Another great experience was seeing a flamenco show in one of the caves in the Sacromonte neighborhood, which felt really unique to Granada. After Granada we moved on to Seville for four nights. Seville felt incredibly romantic and quite grand tbh. The Alcázar has stunning Moorish architecture, and the dome in picture 3 is a good example of that style. We also really enjoyed walking and biking along the river, which I didn’t capture in these photos. There’s definitely enough to do in Seville to spend three to five nights comfortably. We also wanted some beach time, so we did a day trip to Cádiz, since it’s one of the closer coastal options from Seville. Cádiz felt quieter and slower compared to Seville, but relaxing on the beach and walking in the water felt amazing after days of exploring medieval cities. Overall it was an incredibly romantic trip with my girlfriend. She even said it felt like a honeymoon, which I honestly agree with! Also worth mentioning is the high-speed rail between Seville and Madrid is fantastic. It cuts what would be about a 6-hour drive down to roughly 2.5 hours and the train ride is very comfortable. If I return to Andalusia I’d love to explore Ronda, Córdoba, and Málaga, which we chose to skip this time so we could experience Seville and Granada more thoroughly. Happy to answer any questions! submitted by /u/kulkdaddy47 [link] [comments]
- Madrid in FebruaryMadrid This is the final leg of our trip, following two nights in Granada and three in Sevilla (separate posts). Even though this was our second time in Madrid, the transition from the south was noticeable. The area around Puerta del Sol is more crowded and—you could say—livelier than Sevilla, but we enjoyed the change of pace and the variety of things to do and eat. The Stay We stayed at the Thompson Hotel again using Hyatt points. Its central location is unbeatable. There is a supermarket a few blocks away where we picked up some ham, local olives and Ribera wine to have on our balcony when we were taking a break. Dining Compared to the other cities we visited, Madrid has a wider range of high-quality restaurant options. * Recommendations: Casa Macareno, Angelita Madrid, and Astor Gastro-place (especially the pork ribs) were all excellent. * Note: We found Posada de la Villa disappointing. The signature lamb dish was expensive and way too salty. The Royal Reception The highlight of the stay was a surreptitious encounter. We walked over to the Royal Palace for a photo and happened to arrive during the King of Spain’s reception for the President of Portugal. We stayed to watch the parade, which included soldiers in traditional military uniforms, cavalry, and horse-drawn carriages pulling cannons. It was a unique event to witness and a nice way to wrap up the trip. Photo Highlights * These shots capture the traditional uniforms and the scale of the ceremony; * Plaza Mayor: A few views of the main square. * The Alleys: Madrid changes quickly once you leave the main tourist center. * Parks and Gardens: We spent time walking through El Retiro and Parque del Oeste. The city’s green spaces are well-maintained and offer a good break from the crowded streets. Madrid remains a city we really enjoy visiting, and we’ll definitely be back. submitted by /u/prime_focus [link] [comments]
- Málaga, spring 2026I’ve always loved Andalusia, I’d already visited Granada, Sevilla and Córdoba, so this year I decided to finally check out Málaga. I spent four days there at the end of March, and it was honestly perfect. The weather was sunny but still a bit fresh. You can walk the whole city on foot, we didn’t even bother to use public transport to move around. The food was great too. One place that really stood out was Las Merchanas, a local tapas restaurant, it was really good. If you enjoy Andalusian culture like me the Alcazaba of Málaga is definitely a spot to visit. It reminded me of the famous AlHambra in Granada, which I loved. There’s also a spot nearby you can hike up to called Gibralfaro, with a wonderful view on the city, but we didn’t get the chance to visit it. We also did a day trip to Marbella (1 hour in bus), which had a totally different feel. Much more upscale and polished, kind of like Cannes or Monaco. Not the same vibe as the rest of Andalusia, but still really nice to experience. Overall, it was just a really enjoyable trip. Nothing too rushed, just good weather, good food, and a great atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it. submitted by /u/LevantMind [link] [comments]
- A few from my short and sweet visit to SevilleI found a return flight from Newcastle to Malaga for £48 so thought I’d use it to check out somewhere I’ve wanted to go for a long time, Seville! It was a 3hr bus ride from Malaga but totally worth it imo. I was there 24th - 27th April, also the last weekend of the Fiera festival which was fun! submitted by /u/dfield04 [link] [comments]
