It was heloful to learn about your , day trips to Granada and Cordoba by train. I was thinking of doing that. It seemed much more enjoyable. Thank you!
Also there’s a great place to eat in Alhambra, it’s only a few dollars more, but nice and satisfying. I had a fresh made tortilla and a great cafe con leche
Hotel Alhambra, right on the premise. As you go through the final gate it’s on the left. It caters to tourists but they serve authentic Spanish cuisine. It’s only a few dollars more but we rushed to get there on time and didn’t eat, so we were happy to pay a couple of dollars more and it was good Spanish fare.
Hi..awesome informative video! Do you remember where the Ulala popsicle store was located? Was it close to mesquita or jewish town? Website shows stores in madrid and somewhere else, not in cordoba. Did you do any audio tours in any of the places? We are planning to do one in mosque cathedral in cordoba. Alhambra we just have the tickets as of now. We are going there in less than 2 weeks.
Thank you! I cannot remember if its closers to Jewish quarters or Mesquita 😅 Here is there IG if you want to contact them about their location: instagram.com/helados_ulala_andalucia/. I only did an audio tour in Cordoba but they are available in all major tourist cities. Have a great time!
@@eileensworld Thank you! Do you recommend doing audio guide? can that be done in person or better done in advance.. meaning is there line for that as well?
Not necessarily fluid is better than nothing 😂. You will be fine! Just know the basic greetings and phrases for ordering at a restaurant and you will be fine.
English isn't spoken here but if you're just doing touristy things the staff there usually know enough to get by. Always nice to learn some Spanish too, Sevillanos are very friendly so they will appreciate the effort 😊
Beautiful video! You've mentioned a few times how cheap Spain is, but that is because the salaries are quite low. An average salary would be 1000-1500 euros gross a month, in the south even less.
Never been to Ronda, but my opinion is that The Alhambra is a must. Make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy the area before you head back to Seville. We were definitely rushed!
Ronda is beautiful but it depends how much time you've got. Ronda is a small town so you can see eveything in a few hours (you'll take spectacular photos!!) But if you want something to really get your teeth into, Granada has enough to last at least an entire day or two....the Alhambra is definitely a must see, Granada was super important in Spain's Moorish history
@@kimsaysso3615 the Alhambra is stunning, I'm there leading a group today! Enjoy your visit! La Capilla Real is worth visiting too - it's where the Catholic Kings are buried
I got COVID on that trip and that was probably the reason why I was tired 😅. Otherwise the train rides are not SUPER long and the stations are close to city center so it’s not too bad. If anything, it was more rushed than tiring
Hi I have a plan to visit Sevilla on October for 1 week ? Do you think is a lot to do in Seville for 1 week or better to get a train like you to visit around city for 1 day then go back to Seville again ? Thanks for your tip.
Hi Pavel, you won’t need an entire week to explore Seville, unless you like to have some rest days in between sight seeing. Day trips are easy to do as well. My other recommendation based on my trip there is that I would spend a night in Granada to explore the city. Since we only did a day trip, we had to get in an out very quickly, and only got to visit the Alhambra, but I know there’s so much more to see!
Amazing video! I am going in May. What month were you there in? I am worried about the weather/what to pack and wear... coming from cold Canada haha Also, for anyone wanting to take tours you can use Guru guide and sign up for free walking tours, all of the ones I've been on in my travels to other countries have been amazing and you just tip whatever you feel is appropriate!
Hey Kirsten! Thank you for watching! I went in mid June. You should have better, nicer, and enjoyable weather in May 🙂 I totally agree with you on the free walking tours! I started to really use them when I was in South America last year and they are GREAT. So thank you for sharing that. Have a wonderful time in Seville
It is going to be hot. There is a terrible drought in Spain. Everybody is praying for rain but the chances are that it won't rain in May. You should wear light and comfortable summer clothes, sunglasses, caps and hats. Wear comfortable sandals with a thick sole, as the street pavements may be hot. In a normal May, the temperature ranges from 15°C at night (at the coldest hour) to close to 30°C during the day. It shouldn't go over 30, but one never knows. The nights are nice in Seville and people have dinner out late. Don't be afraid to change your eating hours. Right now, 33°C have been forecasted for Seville tomorrow (May 1st) on TV 🤷 Andalucía is a singularity in Europe. Placed between two continents and two seas, it has a long and peculiar history, where many civilizations have left their imprint. I hope you have a nice time!
@@LMPV4 thank you so much! this is so informative, I did hear of the heat wave and drought and I am hoping for rain for them too! I will take all this into consideration
As you go through the final gate, to get to Alhambra, it’s the first cafe on the right. It is hotel Alhambra with a cafe right on the property. It was very nice. They served a local specialty, Rabo de toro and other Spanish dishes, I had the Spanish tortilla and it was delicious, made fresh.
I was really disappointed with this video. Was hoping for recommendations to places with traditional food from Sevilla. Instead you mostly showed food from other places (Taco Bell, pizza, indian and korean food and a french bakery)
Just because I’m in Spain doesn’t mean I have to eat Spanish food the entire time I am there. It’s also an experience to try another country’s take on different cuisine.
@@eileensworld sorry Patricia's comment was so unnecessarily phrased that I had to comment - you do and eat whatever you want lmao, headass comment - this was a great video
This video gives a great recap of the main sights to see in beautiful Sevilla. As for the food, most traditional bars offer reasonably priced, delicious food. There's a great place on every street 😊 also love the mention of Cafetería La Campana, I'm a regular! Good choice!
La comida española no está exactamente en los lugares d turistas. Se come en restaurantes de comida casera para españoles o en los hogares de los españoles. Las tapas son para un día , no para todos los días. La catedral de Santa Sofía en Estambul es también una mezquita desde el año 1450 que los turcos invadieron la ciudad y expulsaron al Último emperador cristiano ortodoxo.
This is a great Video, makes me excited for my Sevilla, cordoba, and Granada trip in July.
Thank you for watching Natalie! Will this be your first time?
Sevilla es una belleza 💃❤️
thank you for your video! im going to study abroad in Sevilla and im really excited.
How exciting for you! Will you be studying this Summer?
It was heloful to learn about your , day trips to Granada and Cordoba by train. I was thinking of doing that. It seemed much more enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you Juanita, are you going to Seville soon?
Also there’s a great place to eat in Alhambra, it’s only a few dollars more, but nice and satisfying. I had a fresh made tortilla and a great cafe con leche
🤤 do you remember the name??

@@tonybtbone thank you for sharing!!
Thank you this is very informative!
thank you for watching!
hi great video! I am planning my trip to south of Spain...did you feel day trips were enough to explore to Granada & Cordoba ..
Hi there 👋🏻 if you are on a time crunch, one day will be enough to see the major sites. Make sure you have the energy!
@@eileensworld thank you 🖤

Always better to book in advance, because I get anxious about things being sold out 😬
Great video! I’m headed there soon, I’m not necessarily fluid in Spanish, is English spoken a lot there? Will it be a barrier?

Do you think Granada is a must see? I have a trip planned to Seville, but unsure if we should take a day trip to Granada or Ronda?
Never been to Ronda, but my opinion is that The Alhambra is a must. Make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy the area before you head back to Seville. We were definitely rushed!
@@eileensworld I’ll add Granada to my itinerary and maybe stay overnight so we’re not rushed. Thank you so much for your feedback!!!

But if you want something to really get your teeth into, Granada has enough to last at least an entire day or two....the Alhambra is definitely a must see, Granada was super important in Spain's Moorish history
Thank you for the insight!! We ended up skipping Ronda (due to time) and booking two nights in Granada. We’re also seeing the Alhambra!
@@kimsaysso3615 the Alhambra is stunning, I'm there leading a group today! Enjoy your visit! La Capilla Real is worth visiting too - it's where the Catholic Kings are buried
Seville has my heart!!!! I want to go! I think it is the most beautiful place you have been so far!
I think you would love the Mosque Cathedral 😌
In the royal citadels of Seville, the chapters of Game of Thrones were recorded, when the kingdom of Dorne was represented.
Unfortunately I didn’t bring my GOT costumes to reenact the scene
@eileen's world 👍😂
I think you quote some prices in dollars then some in Euros . Wondering if you meant euros for all . Thanks for clarifying 😊
On 19:36 what tower are you referring to ? Name of tower?
Giralda Tower inside the Catedral de Sevilla
Thanks for quick reply. We will be going there in June 2023.
When did you go? I m planning to go early June but not so sure due to the heat
I went end of June and it was 🥵 but bearable
Was it long and tiring for those two day trips? Not so sure if we can do it as a day trip or spend a night in Granada
I got COVID on that trip and that was probably the reason why I was tired 😅. Otherwise the train rides are not SUPER long and the stations are close to city center so it’s not too bad. If anything, it was more rushed than tiring

Can you share the name/number of the AirBnB in Seville? We are a family of 5 heading there in July. Thanks
Hi there! This link is to the hosts we used but not the exact booking. I didn’t book the Airbnb so I don’t have the exact info. abnb.me/PYEm4zlz3Fb

🤘🏻
Which month did you go in this trip ?
June 🥵
I am a little confused when you change from dollars to euros .
What part is confusing
Which of the 2 places would you have spent a night if you chose to?
Alhambra for sure
I rented a car. Easy and there is plenty of parking at Alhambra
Thank you for sharing! “Plenty of parking”… music to my ears
