Arrival day

Before Day 1. Seville is flat and close together, so settle in on foot and let the evening be slow.Details
From the airport or station
Seville has its own airport, with a bus and taxis into the center, and a main train station not far from the old town. Taxis are the simple choice with bags, and the ride is short either way.
Getting around
The old town is flat and mostly walkable, so you will not need a car. Córdoba and Granada are reached by train, and the ride from Seville to Córdoba is a short one. Check the timetables ahead and book seats in busy weeks.
Late March weather
Mornings and evenings can be cool and the afternoons mild or warm, with the odd rainy spell. Bring a light layer for the evening terraces. Holy Week and Easter can fall around these dates, so check ahead, because rooms fill and streets close.
The evening you arrive
Walk to the river, find a quiet table and keep dinner simple. Day 1 starts at the Cathedral, so you will already be close.

  4. Lunch

  5. Dinner

    Oxtail stew

Departure day

After the last day. Choose how you leave Granada the night before, and the morning stays unhurried.Details
Check-out
Many small hotels in Granada will mind your bags for a few hours after check-out. Ask when you book, since the lanes of the old quarter are steep and bags are heavy.
Leaving Granada
Granada has an airport west of the city, with a bus and taxis. Many travelers go on by train or bus to a larger city instead. Check ahead for the best route to your next stop.
If you have a few hours
Take a slow breakfast, then a last walk up through the Albaicín lanes for one more look back at the Alhambra.
