Hotel NH Plaza de Armas

Handily located, this large hotel is not far from the main shopping area, very close to the Bellas Artes museum, and opposite (literally) the only cinema in Seville which shows films in English. If you’re heading east out of town, either by bus or car, then this is the best place to stay, as you’re minutes from the motorway and less than an hour from Huelva beaches and El Rocio, while Portugal’s not much further.

Trambahia - Cadiz Bay Tramway

The 'Tranvía Metropolitano de la Bahía de Cadiz' (Metropolitan Tramway of the Bay of Cadiz), also known as the 'Trambahía', was inaugurated on 26 October 2022. The opening has been a long time coming, since the construction of the line was completed in 2012.

Santa Justa Train Station, Seville

The Santa Justa train station is located to the north-east of the city centre, on Avenida Kansas City. Santa Justa train station opened in 1991, as part of the city’s modernization plans for the Expo 1992 when Spain’s first high-speed AVE train service was launched (Plaza de Armas, the beautiful old station, is now a shopping centre with cinema).

Seville City

According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilisation. Called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya by the Moors, the high point in its history was following the discovery of America in 1492, when wealth flooded in from the "New World". For all its important monuments and fascinating history, Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town.

Restaurants in Seville

Eating out is a way of life in Seville, whether in a smart contemporary restaurant serving innovative modern dishes, or a more traditional tiled establishment offering carillada and fried fishj. Restaurants are more formal, with smarter decor, and full-size portions, although even the smartest places will still offer tapas.

Seville Metro

This opened in 2008, and is used by over 23 million passengers a year. It is small-scale, using just five passenger coaches, and 22 stations. But it's clean, efficient and regular and has proved a success. It is especially useful during Semana Santa and Feria when parking near these events is both scarce and pricey.

The Property Finders

In this interview, Barbara Wood, the founding partner of The Property Finders tells us about the role of a Property Buyers Agent.  Barbara also gives us an insight into some of her favourite places in Andalucia.

Seville Urban Bus & Tram

Seville has an extensive bus network, covering all barrios around the city. Most buses leave either from Puerta de Jerez (south of the centre) or from Plaza Ponce de Leon (east). The circular buses, C3 and C4, follow the ring road around the old city centre. One small bus takes a circular route inside the centre, the C5.

Buyers' Agents

Buyers’ Agents, also known as property finders, work exclusively on behalf of property buyers, locating properties that exactly match their specific requirements. In all cases, they e meet clients in advance of the search process, either in person or via a video call, for an in-depth discussion about why they plan to buy in Spain, what they want to find and where. If the client hasn't decided where, a buyers agent will make suggestions that match the buyers criteria and it is often the case that clients buy somewhere they had never heard of until the agent suggested it.
