Holiday information

 

A New Year break in Seville

On this festive short break, you explore one of Spain’s most beguiling and enigmatic cities: Seville. This is iconic Spain… A land of vibrant and exuberant people, home to flamenco, tapas and bullfighting. The city preserves the most important legacies of that great flowering of Islamic culture which took place between the 9th and 15th centuries. It is expressed in great monumental architecture – not least that of the Alcázar – and also in quieter courtyards and scented gardens.
Our detailed notes guide you through the historic streets on a walking tour that includes all the famous heritage sites, as well as many overlooked corners and delightful lunch stops. To make your break that little bit more special, we include an olive-oil tasting, tickets to a flamenco show and, of course, a celebratory dinner on New Year’s Eve. You stay in a stylish hotel – a beautifully restored mansion – representing the essence of the city, and within walking distance of the major sights.

  • Discover Seville on our self-guided city walking tours
    We provide detailed route notes which lead you to Seville's many hidden corners as well as the famous heritage sites such as the Moorish fortress of the Alcázar, with its impressive ceilings, courtyards and beautiful gardens; the striking cathedral; the ornate Plaza de España; and the atmospheric Barrio Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter, where orange trees – laden with fruit in December – grow in the courtyards of the whitewashed houses lining the picturesque cobbled streets. The covered passageway heading off the Patio de Banderas called the Judería is worth visiting; enter the Patio from here and you’ll get an unforgettable view of the cathedral. Throughout the city you will find a traditional tapas bar seemingly on every street where the local fare is washed down with ice cold fino sherry.
  • A flamenco show & olive-oil tasting
    During your stay, we also include an olive-oil tasting session and entry into a thrilling flamenco show to complete your experience of Seville, a city that knows how to celebrate!
  • Celebrate with a special dinner
    The focal point of your break is, of course, New Year’s Eve, when you are treated to a fine gastronomic dinner comprising several mouth-watering courses. Afterwards, retire to the comfortable lounges for a festive nightcap, or head out into the night to join in the New Year revelry with the locals!
 

Accommodation

Your base is a high-quality hotel in the heart of the city. A special dinner is included on New Year's Eve; on other nights, you can choose from the many varied and excellent options nearby.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Seville. The only place that was not mentioned in your notes was the Plaza di España which we found beautiful. This was mentioned to us by the hotel staff and we feel it could well be included in your notes for the future.

    The hotel is in an excellent position for exploring the city and the many little squares and cafes on the way to the Cathedral/Town Hall are used extensively by the locals so provide a lovely friendly atmosphere.

    The new years eve dinner at Las Casas Rey del Baeza was stunningly good and the flamenco show was wonderfully un-touristy and authentic.  We thoroghly enjoyed the whole thing.  The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

    Had a lovely time at the old Fish Market building which has lots of different outlets inside where you can choose many types of food and drinks. Seating outside or in covered area.

    Book in advance on the internet for Alcazar to beat the queues.

    Google maps very useful to find one's way around the narrow streets.

    There was always a long queue for the Alcazar, but another guest (not with Inntravel) advised us to book online, which the hotel kindly helped us to do, on the day before our visit.

    Walks to the Parque Maria Luisa in the sunshine, with open air cafe at the far end, were our personal highlights.
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • The information that we send to you 2-3 weeks before your holiday includes practical information about each stage of your journey so that you can travel confidently from one hotel to another, recommendations for places to visit and eat out in each place, plus cultural information about the area. Where applicable, we also provide notes for a self-guided walking tour of most cities, and some large towns. Sample travel pack >
  • We can book a wide range of airlines and routes from the UK. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. For Europe and Morocco, there’s a £30 booking fee per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). For India and Nepal, the booking fee is £50 per person. More information on flights >
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.
  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    You don’t have to buy our policy (if you live outside Europe you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK and EU residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Spain, but not a visa (if you are travelling after 31 October 2019, see the Brexit question below for more information). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice can be found through the following NHS link: www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/advice/ You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). UK citizens should also obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) by applying at a Post Office or at www.ehic.org.uk. The EHIC allows reciprocal health care but should not be seen as a substitute for travel insurance. EHICs may cease to be valid in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
  • (Castilian) Spanish is one of several official languages; in Catalonia, for example, Catalan has equal status. The currency is the Euro. Spanish time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • Even in the event of a no-deal Brexit, it’s been confirmed that flights will continue as normal and that you won’t need a visa to go on holiday (the limit on stays is 90 days). What you will need if there’s no deal is a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of your arrival (extra months added because you renewed your passport early do not count) and adequate travel insurance to cover you for accidents and illness in case reciprocal health deals are suspended. If you are driving while on holiday, you will probably need an International Driving Permit (plus a Green Card if you are taking your own car to Europe). More information >
  • The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.
    If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
