Why go? Passion comes easy in the Spanish city that gave the world such archetypal romantic figures as Don Juan and Carmen. The Andalucian capital is a busy, modern metropolis now, but at its heart you'll find there are still streets lined with orange trees and flamenco guitarists strumming by the river. Seville is a place to walk hand-in-hand through the pretty, whitewashed streets of Santa Cruz, laze on a bench in the elegant Maria Luisa park, and sit in tapas bars sipping chilled fino (sherry). Book now to go in June, when it will be hot, and make sure your hotel has a pool, roof terrace or gardens.
Best for Hot-blooded types. Fans of the siesta. Night owls - Sevillanos go out to dinner at midnight, and they like to dance.
Best avoided If you're not keen on bullfights, steer clear of the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza.
TC Tip Don't miss the Museo de Bellas Artes - with major works by Murillo, Zurbaran and other Spanish masters. It's a cultural treat that's worth the airfare alone.
