Seville City Breaks

Seville City Break

Romantic mini breaks in Seville are ideal as the city itself boasts a romantic history. Situated in the south of Spain as the Andalusian capital, Seville city breaks offer enchanting landscapes, which were created from the rich Moorish history of the city. The city also acts as a gateway to other short breaks in Andalusia and the rest of Spain.

Visitors on a Seville city break can explore the majestic cathedral, which is the largest Gothic building in the world. Seville offers many beautiful attractions form it's historic legacy left by Arab kings. Intricate palaces of Moorish architecture decorate the city and an array of theatres perform classically romantic operas, while the flamenco, tapas and bullfighting offer alternative traditional Spanish entertainment.

Short breaks to Andalusia are incomplete without a visit to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Seville city breaks offer easy access inland to the mountains and rural villages, which also boast some exhilarating trails across the natural landscapes of Spain.
