Located in Andalusia, Seville is Spain's fourth-largest city by population and the most populated municipality in the European Union, as well as the seat of government for the autonomous community. It is located on the Guadalquivir River in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, near the city of Seville. The Alcazar Palace Complex, Seville Cathedral, and General Archives of the Indies are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The only river port in Spain is Seville, which is located around 80 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean.

Hispalis, a Roman settlement, was the first city to be established in what is now the province of Seville. After the Islamic conquest in the year 711, it became known as Ishbiliyah. In the 16th century, Seville became one of the major towns in Western Europe because of its role as the gateway to the transatlantic trade of the Spanish Empire. Hercules is credited with founding the city in local legend. Festivities and festivals are big in Seville. Semana Santa or Holy Week, the seven days preceding Easter, is one of the most well-known of these. Processions of floats representing religious motifs are a highlight of the celebration.

Trains:

All trains leaving Seville, from the local trains to nearby towns to the high-speed bullet train (AVE) to Madrid, depart from the Santa Justa railway station. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the station from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Train schedules can be obtained online at www.renfe.com, directly at the Santa Justa station (Avenida de Kansas City).

Bicycles:

Seville’s bicycle program (called Sevici) covers the small and medium daily routes within the city. There are some 300 stations and 3000 bicycles available. The city has been newly equipped with bicycle paths and to use them one must acquire a yearly or weekly membership. The yearly membership costs €27,50 and the weekly is €10. When a membership is purchased the user is provided with a member code to be used at the stations. The weekly pass can be obtained directly at any station by presenting a credit card. In the case of the weekly rater €150 euros is authorized as a safety deposit and returned at the end of the hire period. The first 30 minutes are included in the cost. After that, there is a charge of €1 for the first hour and €2 for every hour after.

Bicycles can be borrowed from, and returned to, any station in the system. Each station has between 10 and 40 parking slots to fix and lock the bicycle. To borrow a bicycle simply follow the booth instructions. To return a bicycle one simply places the bike in a spare slot at any station, the bike is recognized automatically and is locked into place.

Taxi:

In Seville, it is very easy to find a taxi virtually anywhere and at nearly an hour. A lit green light on the hood of the car is the signal that it is available. All taxis must run official rates, which are clearly posted on one of the two back-seat windows.  While rates vary according to the hour of the day, it is an official flat rate of €23 (plus €1 per bag) to drive to or from the Seville airport.  Disgruntled passengers, or those that believe to be overcharged, have the right to demand a receipt with the driver’s identification number indicated on it in order to make a claim. This number is written in white on the right-hand side of the dashboard.

BEST TIME TO VISIT SEVILLE

Seville is one of the most beautiful and liveliest cities in Spain, with a cerulean blue sky and streets bathed in year-round sunshine. The best time to visit Seville is from March to May. During these months the temperatures are mild, the rush of tourist traffic would not have reached summer volume and the hotels tend to offer lower rates (except during special events).
