⚠️ Essential Travel Tips Seville
Don't Eat the Street Oranges
The thousands of oranges growing on the street trees are bitter oranges (used for marmalade). They taste terrible raw.
Drink Tinto de Verano
Locals rarely drink Sangria. They drink 'Tinto de Verano' (red wine mixed with lemon soda)—it's cheaper, more refreshing, and authentic.
Respect the Siesta
Between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, many smaller shops and businesses will close as people rest during the hottest part of the day.
Free Flamenco at Plaza de España
You can almost always find incredible street flamenco dancers performing for free (tip them!) at the Plaza de España in the mornings.
