The sun drenched Plaza de Espaņa in Seville is well worth visiting.
From Jerez
to Seville the traveller can either take the speedy toll motorway
(A4) or the slower NIV highway.
Neither route is particularly interesting.
These are the flat planes of the lower River Guadalquivir. Notice
the acres of sherry vineyards stretching to the horizon.
6 km from Jerez on the NIV there
is a turning to the small Jerez airport.
A detour of 10km from the NIV can
be made to visit the small walled town of Lebrija
which lies very close to the River Guadalquivir.
The roads pass Los Palacios y Vllafranca
before entering Dos Hermanos where the toll motorway and the highway
again meet. You are now only 15km from the center of Seville and
you can sense that you are on the outskirts of the Capital and
largest city of Andalucia. You are passing one of the industrial
zones, there is no hint that just ahead lies the most majestic
city of Southern Spain. The NIV leads straight into the heart
of the city of Seville
along the magnificent Avenida de las Palmeras.
At the SE30 ring road, Turn 'right'
and travel anti-clockwise
for Cordoba, Granada, Madrid and turn 'left' and travel clockwise
for Huelva and Portugal and Extramadura.
