Summer is the perfect time to discover Seville from a different perspective. While the warm temperatures encourage a slower pace during the day, the city offers a unique blend of culture, gastronomy, history, and unforgettable experiences to enjoy from morning until well into the evening. If you’re planning a holiday in the Andalusian capital, here’s how to make the most of your stay.

Discover Seville at Your Own Pace

The early morning hours are the perfect time to explore Seville’s historic centre, wander through its charming streets, and visit some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Cathedral, La Giralda, the Royal Alcázar, and the Archive of the Indies.

You can also lose yourself in the picturesque Santa Cruz neighbourhood, cross the Triana Bridge to discover one of Seville’s most authentic districts, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Guadalquivir River as the city comes to life.

Ways to Stay Cool During the Day

Summer in Seville is also an invitation to enjoy cooler spaces and more relaxing activities. Some of our recommendations include:

• Visiting museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts.
• Taking a break in one of the many shaded courtyards and squares in the historic centre.

• Enjoying a boat cruise along the Guadalquivir River and admiring the city from a completely different perspective.

Seville’s Summer Nights Have a Special Charm

Small Actions That Transform the Future

Every May 17th, World Recycling Day is celebrated — a date that invites us to reflect on how our daily habits impact the planet. Beyond simply separating waste, recycling means embracing a more conscious, sustainable, and respectful way of life towards the environment we all share.

In cities rich in history and culture like Seville, caring for the environment is also a way of preserving their essence for future generations. From small local businesses to the tourism sector, every action contributes to building a more responsible and balanced model.

Recycling Starts with Small Details

We often think that recycling requires great effort, when in reality the most meaningful changes begin with everyday habits:

• Reducing the use of single-use plastics.
• Reusing containers and materials whenever possible.
• Properly separating paper, glass, and packaging waste.
• Choosing local and sustainable products.
• Consuming in a more conscious and responsible way.

When travelers and residents incorporate these practices into their daily lives, they directly contribute to reducing waste and protecting natural resources.

Tourism and Sustainability: A Necessary Commitment

Tourism has the power to create unforgettable experiences, but it also carries a responsibility toward the environment. More and more travelers value staying in places committed to sustainable practices: reducing energy consumption, eliminating unnecessary plastics, using water efficiently, and supporting local businesses.

In this context, hotels play a fundamental role in promoting initiatives that encourage more responsible tourism without sacrificing comfort or the quality of the guest experience.

How to Travel More Sustainably

Traveling responsibly is easier than it seems. Here are some recommendations to reduce our footprint while enjoying a getaway:

1. Carry a Reusable Water Bottle

Avoid constantly buying plastic bottles and help reduce waste.

2. Choose Sustainable Transportation

Walking, cycling, or using public transport allows you to discover the city in a more authentic and sustainable way.

3. Respect the Local Environment

Taking care of public spaces, supporting local businesses, and reducing waste are actions that benefit the entire community.

4. Choose Eco-Conscious Accommodation

More and more establishments are integrating sustainable measures into their daily operations, helping to minimize the environmental impact of tourism.

A Greener Future Starts Today

World Recycling Day reminds us that we can all be part of the change. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about moving step by step toward more responsible habits.

Because recycling is not just about separating waste: it’s about caring for our cities, our landscapes, and the way we want to travel and live in the future.

At Hotel Bécquer, we believe that every small action counts and that sustainability is a journey we build together.

If you’re planning a trip from the UK, getting here is easier than you might think. Here’s a complete guide on flights and travel tips to make your journey smooth and stress-free.

Flights from the UK to Seville

Seville Airport (SVQ) is well-connected to several UK cities, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh.

Flight times are usually around 2 hours and 45 minutes from London, making it a quick and convenient destination for a weekend getaway or a longer holiday.

Tips for Booking Flights

• Book early: Popular travel periods like Easter, Semana Santa, and summer can see flights fill up quickly. Booking in advance often saves money.
• Compare airlines: Low-cost carriers are great for budget travel, but full-service airlines can offer more flexibility and amenities.
• Consider nearby airports: Flights to Málaga or Jerez can sometimes be cheaper, and both cities are within 1–2 hours of Seville by train or bus.
