Seville

Legend states that the city of Seville was founded by Hercules and today the capital of Andalucía and the main city in the south of Spain is one of the largest historical centres in Europe. There is so much to do in this sunny destination that you may need a constant supply of Seville oranges just to keep you going. Exploring the many theatres, museums, art centres and clubs is sure to take up most of your time, but if you feel like you still have the energy, there is also the Isla Magica theme park and the brand new Agua Magica water park to tire you out.

If you are able to plan your Seville city break to coincide with one of the many great festivals, then this is definitely worth doing so that you can experience them. Semana Santa (Holy Week) takes place around Easter every year and a there's fair that takes place during certain weeks throughout the spring.
