Bullfighting, Flamenco music and “tapas” – it must be Seville, one of the most fabulous Spanish destinations and increasingly popular for short or long city breaks. Easily accessible with direct flights from several UK and Ireland airports, this artistic, historic and cultural capital of southern Spain is becoming increasingly popular especially as a short weekend break.

During the Holy Week you can see as many as 60 beautiful processions and during the April Fair families, businesses and organizations set up marquees in which they spend the week dancing, drinking and socializing. It is also the time when you can see women wear traditional flamenco dresses.
