Spain is my parents’ holiday destination of choice. They have dabbled elsewhere but, as I am sure many husbands recognise, it is ultimately down to the woman to decide where they go. Mum will not consider France. Won’t take a second look at Germany. Portugal? Don’t even mention it to her unless you fancy a sideways look and a cold shoulder. Italy and Spain are the only two ever considered. Spain is this year’s recipient of their hard earned euros and Seville is their (her) destination of choice.

They have never been to Seville before, but it ticks many of the boxes for them. Is it overly touristy? No. Does it have a lot of cultural hub where they can kick back and soak in some Spanish life? You bet it does. It’s also similar enough to many of the other Spanish destination they have tried before that it won’t be entirely alien to them.
