Seville is host to a number of beautiful and peaceful parks if you want a tranquil place to escape to within the city limits. In the Macarena neighborhood, you will find Miraflores Park. Across the bridge in Los Remedios is Parque de Los Principes, a large area with different courts on which to play sports, a pond, and plenty of green open space. Parque Alamillo on Isla Cartuja is a similar space to which many in the city escape on warm days. One of the largest and most beautiful parks in Sevilla is Parque Maria Luisa, which leads into the stunning Plaza de España.

Many people in Seville spend warm, sunny days relaxing by the river. People hang out at the grassy area near the Triana Bridge or at one of the kiosks with a river view along Paseo de Cristóbol Colón.

Relax your mind and body with massage or yoga, for which you can easily find classes at various places in Sevilla. Look into Ecocentro Hércules on Calle Santa Clara for a massage class or the Centro Integral de Yoga or Centro de Yoga Saraswati for places to practice meditation and yoga.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!

Seville is one of the hottest cities in Europe, with August temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius, or 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The winters are moderately warm and sunny, though nights can be cold, and most houses do not have heat. You should definitely bring warm clothing as well as an umbrella, as there are downpours that occur in the fall and winter.

How do I make phone calls from Sevilla?

The best option for telephone communication in Sevilla is a cell phone, which you can purchase for relatively cheap and get prepaid minutes. Most student housing will not come equipped with a landline, and it is not likely that your host family will let you use their house phone. Using the Internet to make calls, via Skype or Google Voice, is another good option.

What kind of electricity is there in Spain?

Spain uses 220-volt electricity, which means that if you are from the U.S. or any country that uses anything else, you will need an adapter for your appliances. Many laptop computers have internal adapters that automatically adjust, although the shape of the plug may still be different than what you need in Spain.

Is Sevilla handicap accessible?

There are definite improvements being made to the handicap accessibility of the city, though there is still much more room for improvement, and, for the time being, people in wheelchairs may have a difficult time getting around.

Can I find work and internships in Sevilla?

If you are from the U.S. you cannot work legally without a work visa. If you are not from the U.S., you may be able to find part-time work as a waiter or bartender at one of the many bars in the city center. Full time jobs and internships are harder to come by, so if this is what you are looking for, it would be best to research your options before coming to Sevilla.

Can I practice my religion in Sevilla?

You will find a church on almost every corner of the city, especially near the center. Most of these churches are Catholic, though there are places to practice other religions throughout the city.

How does medical care work?

If you are an EU citizen, any medical costs incurred in Spain will likely be covered by social security, given you have asked for coverage outside of your home country. You will have to pay for doctor visits, but you will be reimbursed in your home country. If you are a citizen of the EU or if you are going to be in Sevilla for a long time, you should work out an agreement with your insurance company to decide on the best option for insurance while in Spain.

Can I extend my visa in Spain?

You most likely will not be allowed to extend your visa from here in Sevilla. If you want to look further into the possibility of doing so, contact your country’s consulate in Sevilla.

In order to stay in Sevilla to live or work legally, you will need to apply for a NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal) in the government offices found at Plaza de España. There will be plenty of paperwork to fill out, which will be relatively easy for EU citizens but much more difficult and time-consuming for anyone from outside the EU.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!

Keep in mind the courses are all different.  Some are very intensive and run for two weeks while others run for a period of months.  You can find courses for any level of Spanish, from elementary all the way up to DELE preparation.  The academies also help you get to know Spaniards and improve your language skills through doing intercambios and other cultural exchanges.

The University of Sevilla is the oldest university in the whole region of Andalucia.  Historians date its foundation to 1502, the year in which the reigning Catholic monarchs authorized the local government to establish general studies in the city.  Today there are more than 80,000 students in the Andalucian capital, amongst which there are roughly 1500 foreigners mainly from Europe, North America and South America.  The largest departments are Law, Economics, Communications and Engineering. At each campus you will find a library and one of four subsidized dining halls:  one in the Medicine Department, another at the Reina Mercedes campus, another in the Engineering Department, and the last at the Communications Campus.  There are also cafeterias in most of the smaller departments.

Hot Air Ballooning:

In Seville province, Green Aeroestación organizes balloon rides for tourists (95 471 41 04).

Paragliding and Hang Gliding:

Puerto de las Palomas, in the middle of the Grazalema Mountains, is one of the most popular spots for paragliding and hang gliding.  Its location provides long flights and great views.  However, since it is a protected area, you need a permit to go there.  There are gliding schools in Algodonales, Alpujarra and Sierra Nevada where you can practice paragliding, free jumping, hang gliding, etc.  In Seville, call the Club Sevillano de Vuelo Libre (95 442 30 55), Club de Paracaidismo Deportivo de Sevilla (670 945 241) or Luar Sur Centro de Vuelo (95 622 13 51).

In Sevilla:

There are a number of different routes in the province of Sevilla.  You can ask for maps and guides with suggestions, tips and descriptions in the Diputación de Sevilla (www.dipusevilla.es).  In particular ask for the guide BTT   (mountain biking).  Similar information is also available for other Andalucian provinces.

Cazalla de la Sierra:

We suggest going to the Sierra Norte, which is located approximately 90 kilometers north of Sevilla, by train or car (A-432 and 421).  The route starts in the center of Cazalla leaving the Plaza de la Feria in the direction towards Alanis.  The first seven kilometers are rapid and downhill.  When you get to the bottom, cross the Via Verde and head into the countryside.  You’ll see a lot of nature, including several different species of animals, trees and medicinal plants such as rosemary and wild mint.  We strongly recommend making a small detour for lunch in the village of Constantine, well known for its architecture.  The last part of the route is a tough climb of three or four kilometers, made more difficult by loose stones, but it is worth it due to the sights along the way.  Some 70 kilometers southeast of Sevilla is Moron de la Frontera.  Leaving this village is a 38 kilometer route that requires a great level of physical strength.  There are a lot of mines and quarries along the trip mixed in with the beautiful landscape.  Aznalcóllar is about 40 kilometers to the northwest of Seville and is a route that takes travelers through the woodland.  It is about 50 kilometers long and requires a medium level of fitness.  For other routes, check out San Nicolas del Puerto and Las Navas de la Concepción.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!

One of the greatest natural treasures in Spain can be found in the provinces of Huelva and Sevilla.  The Parque Nacional Natural de Doñana occupies 50,720 hectares and is defined by its dunes and marshes, which host thousands of birds from Africa and Europe.  Several endangered species live there as well, such as the Iberian lynx and the empire eagle.

If you would like to visit the park you need a special permit.  You can visit the park either on land from El Acebuche to La Plancha or by river from Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz) to Doñana.  Find out about schedules and special offers by calling the Tourism Office of Acebuche (95 944 87 39), or call 699 292 056 for the river trip.

The province of Huelva also has many other attractions such as beautiful series of mountains with fantastic natural parks and a number of small, interesting communities such as Ayamonte, Niebla, Cartaya, Jabugo, and Trigueros.  If you’re more in the mood for a beach setting, check out beaches like La Antilla, Mazagón or Punta Umbría.  The most famous festival in Huelva is that of the Virgen del Rocío, an incredible event full of light and color which is a mixture of religious fervor and folklore.

The province of Sevilla also offers a multitude of places to visit.  First is the gorgeous Parque Natural Sierra Norte, where you can hike, climb or simply visit some of the park’s towns such as El Pedroso, Constantina or Cazalla.  You can also visit other places like Écija (called the city of the towers and known for being one of the hottest places in Spain), Utrera, Osuna, Estepa, Marchena and many others.

If you are looking to enjoy some regional folklore or traditional festivals, any small town or village is a good bet.  However, El Viso del Alcor has a festival that is very well known and is about a fifteen minute drive from Sevilla.  Check out its Festival of the Cross in May or the festivals honoring their patron saint Maria del Alcor on September 12^th, where hot chocolate is popular in the evening and everyone eats a traditional stew at lunchtime.  The festival takes place along the streets, and the highlight is the procession of the saint to the hermitage.

Cádiz:

The National Park in the Sierra de Grazalema, located in the northwest of the province, is the perfect place to bike or walk due to the Pueblos Blancos which are hidden among the mountains.  In the province of Cádiz you can do a bit of everything: from fishing and water sports in the Embalse de los Hurones to paragliding above a spectacular backdrop of pine trees.  The Sierra del Pinar is home to a rare type of fir tree which dates from the last ice age.  In the area surrounding the village of El Bosque you will find the Sierra de Albarracín, one of the most stunning landscapes near Sevilla.  Here you will come across underdeveloped and almost untouched countryside where you can be one with nature and explore the riverside.  Your journey may take you past the River Truchero, through the unique Pinsapar (pine forest), or down the Garganta Verde, an impressive gorge with a vertical drop resting below a sky dominated by the largest colony of vultures in Europe.  If rock climbing is your thing, the Aguja de las Palomas, the Peñon Grande and the Salto de Cabrero are privileged sites for the sport.

The park also hides another miracle of nature that shouldn’t be missed.  Visit the hundreds of caves such as the Cueva del Hundidero-Gato, the Susto and the Cueva de la Pileta which you can explore by candlelight.  They are a silent museum with important archaeological treasures.  You can also traverse the area on horseback discovering traditional ways of life that continue to honor and respect the land.  Visit the famous leather workshops in Ubrique where you will find a host of leather articles to buy.  If you go during the summer, take part in the popular festival of Moors and Christians in Benamahoma.

The beaches of Cádiz with their golden sands offer the opportunity to relax, take in some sun and enjoy the Spanish coastline.  An escape to the coast is a great way to beat the unbearable summer heat in Seville.  The beaches are also a great place to practice your favorite sport.  Even though every place along the coast is beautiful, Tarifa is the most popular spot for all types of surfing.  If you want to try windsurfing for the first time, you can also go to Cádiz or Algeciras Bays where there are schools that offer lessons and stores that offer equipment rentals.  In addition, you can scuba dive, rent a catamaran or sailboat, and go to surrounding ports and yacht clubs.  Visit Playa de la Victoria in the city of Cádiz, and the Zahara de los Atunes in Caños de Meca, one of the most beautiful beaches in the area, or Rota, where there is a U.S. military base.

Córdoba: 

Before setting off to discover the rest of this province, you must stop to explore the capital where you will come across a multitude of historical remains while just wandering through the streets.  The main monuments to visit in Córdoba are the Roman bridge, which crosses over the Guadalquivir River, the courtyards, the Jewish quarter, the museum dedicated to the painter Julio Romero de Torres, and the Mezquita.  In Cabra you will find the Church of Asuncion y Angeles, also built over an old Arab mosque.  It is also worth going to the hermitage of the Virgen de la Sierra to take in the spectacular views over the Sierra.  Near Cabra is the lovely whitewashed town of Zuheros, worth seeing for its architecture alone.

If your itinerary takes you through the mountains, make your way to the Cueva la los Murcielagos (cave of bats) in Zuheros, home to interesting remains and paintings suggesting the presence of man in the caves during Neolithic times.  In Rute you can sample the delicious cakes for which the village is famous, accompanied by the locally-made Anisado (aniseed liquor).  The areas surrounding the village are ideal for a walking trips, for example Hoz River Gorge.  Don’t miss the villa of Montilla either, famous for its flavorful wine: Montilla Moriles.

Málaga: 

You will definitely be missing an opportunity if you don’t make it to Ronda and the Sierra de las Nieves while you are in Andalucia.  From the top of these mountains on a clear day you can see the Sierra Nevada, the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga, and the northern extremes of Africa.  Another place you must visit if you find yourself in Málaga is Antequera, a beautiful city in the mountains with numerous monuments such as the Colegiata.  One of the most famous places to visit in Antequera is the Torcal which has been declared a national monument.

Finally, in the province of Málaga is the most popular tourist area in Andalucia: the Costa del Sol.  Made up of numerous villages along the coast, one can enjoy the sun and the beach as well as the many bars, restaurants and clubs.

Granada:

The Natural Park of Sierra Nevada has become known as one of the most unique areas in Spain due to its peculiar location.  Only a short trip from the coast, a solid mass of rock rises up to form the highest mountain peak of the Iberian Peninsula, El Mulhacén.  Enjoy the area hiking or doing any other mountain sport such as skiing.

Between Granada and Sevilla are the natural spas of Santa Fe.  The journey is complicated but if you have plenty of patience, it is worth doing.  There are always people camped out in the area since bathing in the spas is such an unforgettable experience.

The city of Granada has an incredible history.  Its monuments of international fame include the Alhambra.  At night, sit and have a beer, which comes with free tapas, often their traditional corn dish, migas.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!

Working in Sevilla is a great way to study Spanish language and culture. If you come to Spain from a country that is a European Union member, you will not need a work permit. Regardless of your country of origin, your country’s consulate should have more detailed information on the requirements for working in Sevilla as a foreigner. Further useful information can be found on the website of the Confederation of Andalucian Businessmen or that of the Ministry of Work.

Temporary Work

In Sevilla, the majority of jobs available for foreigners are in bars, tourism or language schools. Salaries are lower in Sevilla in comparison to the UK, Germany, or the United States, as one typically earns only five or six euros an hour in hectic jobs. Work in a bar or Irish pub is a great option because, although the pay is not great, you can practice your Spanish and engage with locals in a fun environment.

For the possibility to earn more money, you can look into teaching your native language. Some language schools run teacher-training courses, though you can also find workbooks in almost any bookstore. The Cambalache newspaper is the best place to look for job offerings in this area.

Au Pairs

Another job option, especially for younger women, is to help a family around the house and look after their children. This is a great opportunity, as you will immerse yourself fully into the culture, learning much more about family life and culture in Sevilla. Typically, this job includes food and accommodation, such as a single bedroom, which is an added benefit. There is no “typical” salary or work schedule, as these vary by family. In order to find work as an au pair, you can advertise your services independently or use a family finding service, such as the one offered by the International Au-Pair Association.

Internships

Most internships in Sevilla are unpaid, though they offer a unique experience as it is yet another way to fully engage in the culture and life here in Sevilla. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find intern positions here, so if you are interested in arranging one, it is best to do so before arriving in Spain. One company that may be of service is ONECO Global Training, on Calle Mateos Gago. This company will be of service in placing you in an internship position as well as providing information about scholarship and exchange programs.

Volunteer Work in Seville

The volunteer office of Sevilla is the place to go to find opportunities for getting involved in helping at cultural centers, hospitals, immigration centers, or elsewhere.  You will find the office on the first floor of the Pabellon de Uruguay. Further volunteer opportunities can be found with Amnesty International (on Calle Federico Sánchez Bedoya) or at Oxfam, where you can help third world countries. The Woman’s Institute, found on Calle Alfonso XII, is another organization that is always looking for volunteers.

Another option for volunteer work, particularly for the summer months, is working at one of the many camps in Andalucia and throughout Spain.  You can find camps specializing in many different areas, such as archaeology, the environment, or even bricklaying. You can choose the camp at which you would like to work and the region that you prefer to be stationed in and then you must wait for the camp to call you to confirm that you have been selected to work at that particular camp. Further information can be found at the Centro de Información Juvenil in Plaza Monte Pirolo.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!

NO∞DO, the symbol you cannot go a day in Sevilla without seeing, was created by King Alfonso X to honor Sevilla’s support for him during the struggle for possession of the city. The symbol, which is spoken as “No me ha dejado,” translates to “he who did not leave me.”  When spoken in a Sevillian accent, the phrase sounds like “no madeja-do,” which explains the NO∞DO symbol, as majeda can mean looped thread, an image easily represented by the ∞ symbol.

Carmen

Carmen is a gypsy from Triana who worked in the Tobacco Factory and is known to have had passionate affairs with a bullfighter named Escamillo, as well as a French soldier. Her story has been turned into a novel by Prosper Merimee and later a popular opera by French composer Georges Bizet. The story is set in Sevilla, specifically in Triana, the Maestranza Building and the Tobacco Factory.

Cabeza del Rey Don Pedro

King Don Pedro, nicknamed The Just or The Cruel, is quite legendary around Sevilla. The most famous myth surrounding the monarch is that about the day he was recognized by an old lady as he fought a duel and killed an important nobleman. When the man’s family demanded justice for the slaying, the king promised that the head of the murderer would be placed at the sight of the murder. The following day, the king presented the bailiff with a wooden box, claiming it contained the head of the murderer. Upon the death of King Don Pedro, the box was opened to reveal a clay model of the king’s head, which is still displayed on the corner of Calle Cabeza del Rey Don Pedro.

Cristo del Cachorro

Cristo del Cachorro, the famous sculpture of Christ also known as Cristo de la Expiración, was created by Sevillian artist Ruiz de Gijon. The legend surrounding the creation of this sculpture says that Ruiz de Gijon went walking in search of inspiration and came across a fight between gypsies, which resulted in the death of a well-known and dangerous criminal named El Cachorro. Ruiz de Gijon created the sculpture with this man’s face in mind in order to portray true agony. When the sculpture was finished, the people immediately recognized the face as that of El Cachorro, and the sculpture of Christ thus became known as Cristo del Cachorro.

Have fun exploring the myths and legends of Seville!

The most popular sport to play and watch in Sevilla is soccer, the fascination with which is due in part to the great rivalry between the city’s two top division teams, Real Betis and Sevilla Futbol Club. The face-off games are the biggest of the season.

Jogging, walking and biking are all popular ways of getting exercise in Sevilla. Many of the parks, such as Parque Maria Luisa or Parque del Alamillo, have great paths on which you will find many walkers and joggers. There are also bike paths throughout the city.

We hope you have a great time in Sevilla!
