Paul shares great advice for when makes the best time of year to visit Seville, depending on what you’re looking for.

Surprisingly, peak summer is a time of year when Seville is less crowded, because locals and other tourists are busy flocking to Marbella and other seaside destinations.

So, if you can cope with the intense heat, August offers staggeringly good value, while the rest of Europe raises its prices to cope with peak demand.

Seville has seen a surge in interest over the last couple of decades, but was having something of an identity crisis in the early 1990s.

It’s surprising to think that today, when so many visitors have fallen in love with the magnificent Mudejar architecture of the city, its flamenco music and dancing, and its tapas culture.

In fact, it was this southern region of Spain that gifted up these two archetypical Spanish pastimes.

And you can easily catch an impromptu flamenco show around town, in the shade of a building on the side of the plaza.

In the early evening, it’s tapas time, and there are some top spots for enjoying your drink and tapa with extraordinary views as the sun sets and the city turns that famously golden hue.
