Seville


Recommended Posts

Not based in Seville, but as we are in Faro for the week and will be renting a car for a couple of days, will be heading along one day (seems to only be 2 hours by car, but bus seems to stop at every one horse town between there and Faro).

Yeh that's the only problem, there are no trains between Faro and Seville, so it's either bus or hire a car, but car option means no beers at the natch :(

If travelling from Spain a couple of things to remember.

1. I believe there`s now a hefty toll on motorway from border to Algarve motorway. Maybe as much as 50€ each way even though Faro is near border. Alternative if driving is quite a detour.

2. Monday 12th October is Spain`s national holiday which may affect bus and train times (train from Seville to Huelva and bus from there is alternative to bus)and quite a lot of Spaniards will spend holiday weekend in Algarve but will wait to see weather forecast before booking.

There are a lot of good hotels on the Huelva coast just inside Spain (Isla Canela etc) and some of the hotels offer cheap taxi services to Faro airport.
