THERE’s a Spanish city that is set to be nearly 30C this week – and luckily for Brits it’s less than three hours from the UK.
Seville’s got everything Spain has to offer from affordable wine to beautiful plazas and free flamenco performances.
This week, temperatures in Seville are set to soar with highs of 27C, according to the BBC.
Thanks to its location in southern Spain, Seville often sits 17C and higher – even in the winter months.
It’s very easy to get to as well with direct flights from all over the UK although the cheapest is with Ryanair, who has £14.99 flights from London Stansted next month.
When it comes to what to do there, you’ll be spoiled for choice at the riverside city with lots of beautiful sites and great food for affordable prices.
On average, a meal at an inexpensive restaurant start from £10.50.
As for wine, it tends to sit between £2.50 and £3 – depending on where you go within the city.
Plaza de España is one of the biggest and most well-known landmarks in Seville.
It’s a huge semi-circular plaza stretching over 50,000 square metres with four bridges sitting over a canal decorated with brightly coloured mosaic.
It’s a favourite spot within the city for pretty pictures, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a free flamenco dance.
If you want to get out onto the water, you can rent pedalos for a few euros.
The square even doubled as the planet of Naboo in the second Star Wars film.
In the middle of the city is the enormous Seville Cathedral – which is the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world.
You can choose to go inside if you wish, but as someone who has been you can see plenty of its grandeur from outside.
But if you want to head inside a standard ticket costs €13 (£11.25).
Other hot spots include the Real Alcázar palace and La Giralda tower.
Travel Reporter Alice Penwill visited the city two years ago. She said: “I loved strolling about Seville, particularly the Alfalfa neighbourhood.
“It’s got plenty of pretty little cafes and restaurants to explore – one of my favourites was Casa Toni which cooks up tasty paella.
“Salvador Square is beautiful in the morning time, take a stroll there and make sure to pick up some brunch from Sagasta.
“It has outdoor seating too so you can bask in the spring sunshine.”
Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey has also visited the city and has some top tips on how to see its main attractions for free.
She said: “The Royal Alcázar of Seville, a palace dating back 1,000 years, offers limited free tickets on Mondays between 6pm and 7pm.
“Or for Seville Cathedral, there are 100 free tickets a day between 2pm and 3pm.”
Kara’s favourite bar is El Rinconcillo which is the city’s oldest tapas bar which dates back to 1670.
And you can get a huge glass of wine for £3.
