About Seville

April to June is Seville’s golden window: gentle warmth invites slow wanderings through the Alcázar, cathedral rooftops, and Triana’s riverside nights before summer’s intense heat arrives. Stroll María Luisa Park in the fresh morning light, then let the plazas reveal their magic at dusk when the air softens and tapas bars hum.
