The Spanish city that’s 20C in February with £24 flights | World | News
As temperatures continue to plummet across the UK, many Brits are eager to escape the weather and chase the sun by booking a holiday.
Catching some winter rays doesn’t mean you have to travel for hours as there is one stunning, charming Spanish city that boasts 20C in February with just £24 flights.
Located near the River Guadalquivir in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, Seville is the capital and the largest city in Andalusia, Spain. It is the fourth largest city in Spain by population after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
Seville’s inland location on the dry, sweltering plains of Andalucía means that it has some of the highest temperatures in Spain, making it the perfect spot to catch some winter warmth.
And you won’t be short of things to see and do as Seville has an abundance of amazing sites that are all easily walkable.
The Old Town is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising three buildings: the Alcazar palace complex, the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. Seville Cathedral, built in the 12th century, is considered to be the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, as well as one of the largest in general.
Its bell tower, Giralda, is one of the most prominent landmarks. It was heightened in the 16th century by the addition of a large Renaissance-style belfry, bringing total height to around 96 metres.
The ‘Plaza de España Sevilla’, is one of the most spectacular spaces in Seville. It is a huge half-circle, with the buildings accessible by four bridges across the moat which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain and is bound to take your breath away.
Whilst you are in Seville you should also immerse yourself in the delicious tapas and catch a flamenco show or two.
And flights to Seville for February are very reasonably priced. If you choose to fly Vueling to Seville on February 3 the flight for one passenger will set you back just £24. A return flight on January 8 will take the total to only £38, according to Skyscanner.
