Explore Seville

As we were at Casa Jovic for a couple of weeks (end of May) we decided to take a trip to Seville for a few days in the middle of the holiday. It's less than a 3 hour car trip (it cost us 30 Euros in fuel), although I'd advise stopping in Tavira or Vila Real de Santo António on the way for lunch and possibly at the shopping complex next to IKEA, near Faro, on the way back. You’ll need to make sure that your car hire covers travelling to Spain; it’s an easy addition. Alternatively there is a coach that goes direct from Carvoeiro and while it's normally a day trip, you can always stopover and come back the following day, or two. Seville is great to see and worth the trip. We stayed at the Petit Palace Marqués Santa Ana and it's lovely, but there are also studios and apartments available. Most importantly the food is brilliant, particularly the Tapas at Taberna Coloniales.
