Seville: what to see and when to go
Seville is Andalusia's capital and the home of flamenco, tapas bars and squares lined with orange trees, with one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Spring, with the April Fair and orange blossom, is the time to go; July and August regularly pass 40 °C.
