Book Alcazar tickets online weeks ahead, morning slots sell out and the queues are brutal later in the day.
Seville's tapas scene blew me away, lively streets at night, plan 3 full days to soak it in.
Beautiful architecture everywhere, but expect long midday lines and inflated prices around the main monuments.
Hot in July, bring a hat and water, but flamenco and the orange trees make the heat worth it.
Nice vibe but tourist crowds killed the serenity, metered taxi fares were higher than I expected.
