Travel in Seville?

Question

I am going to be in London for a week this august. I was wondering if taking a 2 day trip to Seville (cheap flights available) is a good idea. I was thinking of touring Seville and also maybe pack a day tour to Malaga into it. Will it be too cramped a trip or is it do-able?

Answer 1

Not a good idea - I mean I took a 3 day package from Barcelona to Seville and even that wasn't enough to see all the city had to offer...plus to get to Malaga from Seville is another 2 1/2 hrs (on land) so again you'll be eating quite a bit of time from Seville. Never mind that flight time to Seville from London is also about 2 1/2 hrs (plus the check in and all that stuff) - as they say in Spanish "no vale la pena."

Besides...I can assure you that with a week, you won't even have enough time to see all that London has to offer - so just enjoy as much as you can of that great city and leave Spain for another trip.

Answer 2

Are you willing to miss 1/3 of your already short trip to London?
Europeans would not even travel London - Seville for less than 3 days when they stay in London for months.
If you want to leave London, do a day trip within England.

And I think that finding a cheap flight on this short notice is going to be hard anyhow.

It is like someone going to New York for a week and take a side trip to Dallas taking up half the time he has planed to be in NY.

Answer 3

I'd say it would be more fun to stick to Sevilla, and there's plenty to see and do. Get an a/c room in the summer if you can afford it! If you go to Malaga, it's a 2.5 to 3 hour train ride. It's also a big city, but by the sea. You could fit in a day trip to Ronda (Look it up online)with a 3 hr. train each way, but a 3 hr. trip each way is a lot for a daytrip. Cordoba is a very easy daytrip from Sevilla, or try some of the white villages up in the hills of Andalucia, like Arcos de la Frontera.
