As we finally say goodbye to dark mornings and freezing temperatures, Brits will be scouring the internet for the perfect holiday destinations to head to in March.
Often dubbed the “Iberian Oven” due to the hot air that blows up from North Africa, this stunning Spanish city is the perfect choice for a spring holiday.
In fact, the average temperature in the city for March is a balmy 21C, with seven hours of sunshine a day, while in the UK that is just 11C.
Seville, a city in southwest Spain, is the fourth largest city in the country and the Andalusian capital, boasting a rich history and culture.
It’s not surprising, therefore, that the city draws some three million tourists a year.
Seville was even crowned one of the world’s best holiday destinations for culture in Tripadvisor’s latest Travellers’ Choice Awards.
While Brits should expect eight days of rain in March alone, residents in Seville experience an average of just 80 days a year.
Seville is home to some of the most beautiful buildings in Europe and an impressive three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
First founded as a Roman city, “The Alcazar palace complex is a stunning collage of architectural styles, and the Cathedral will impress you with its beauty and its status as the burial site of Christopher Columbus,” a Tripadvisor spokesperson said.
The Plaza de Espana is also a must-see, which boasts a stunning mixture of Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival styles of Spanish architecture.
With so many beautiful sites to see, the Andalusian capital has also become known as a filmmaker’s paradise. The Alcazar Palace was used as a film set for Games of Thrones, while Plaza de Espana starred in Star Wars’ Attack of the Clones.
Besides its architecture, the city is also famous for its bitter Seville oranges, which are some of the best for making marmalade. They can be seen across the city, with trees lining the streets. They are also used locally in aromatherapy, herbal medicine, and dietary diet products. The flowers of the tree are a source of neroli oil, commonly used in perfumery and in skin lotions.
According to Skyscanner, wannabe visitors can currently score a return direct flight with Ryanair for £131, jetting off from Stansted and arriving at Seville (SQV).
You can also fly direct for as little as £26 one way with Vueling from Gatwick, if you want to travel onwards to some of Spain’s other southern destinations, such as the Costa del Sol.
