A day trip to Seville, Spain

If there is not a good wind for kitesurfing (which isn't that common in Tarifa) one good way to spend a day is to make a day trip (or two days trip) to Seville, Spain. Seville is the fourth largest city in Spain and it's a city that is worth to visit. Seville is situated on the plain of the River Guadakquivir and the distance between Sevilla and Tarifa is only about 200 kilometres.

The easiest way from Tarifa to Seville is to take a bus from Tarifa. Bus company that arranges the transportation from is called Comes. The one-way ticket costs about 18 euros. The bus schedule can be seen in this website:

Seville is a really beautiful city and it's old town is the largest in Spain. There are many things to see and the atmosphere in the city is nice, so prepare to have a good shoes with you as you'll find always some new interesting places when wandering around. The cathedral of St. Mary, the Alcázar and Torre del Oro are
the main sights that every tourist should check out. And if you're feeling sportive you should climb your way up to the bell tower (Giralda) of the Cathedral of St. Mary as there you can see the whole Seville.




There are also many beautiful parks in Seville that are worth to visit. For example Maria Luisa park is one of the main sights and there is the Plaza de España which was built for the 1929 Exposición Ibero-Americana.


If you're planning your trip to Seville during the summer time, there is no need to take your long trousers or jeans with you as it can be really hot during the day. They will be only extra weight in your luggage, we rather suggest you to take a fan with you, as it helps a lot during the day.
