⚠️ 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.
