The days have gotten shorter, temperatures have dropped, and we\u2019ve fished out our warm coats and wooly hats. It can only mean one thing – winter is here!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A great way to chase away those winter blues is to have a trip to look forward to<\/a>, and Seville is the place to go! Not many people would consider Seville much of a winter wonderland, but in recent years more and more people are visiting the city during the colder months. Certainly considered more of a summer destination, Seville is a city that manages to maintain its unique charm, even with a chill in the air. Not convinced? Allow us to reassure you with these eight reasons to visit Seville in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Enjoy the weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is the winter weather quite extreme where you\u2019re from? Seville\u2019s scorching summers<\/a> are perhaps what the city is most famous for, but its weather during the winter months is just as noteworthy. With average temperatures at a pleasant 10-12 degrees during the winter months, more and more people are choosing Seville as a winter destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can still comfortably take a stroll by the river, wander through some of Seville\u2019s famous parks<\/a> or even make your way to one of the city\u2019s rooftop bars<\/a> and take in the sensational nighttime views. Whether you\u2019re expecting 6 feet of snow or wind and rain, the gentle chill of Seville\u2019s streets is the perfect weekend escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Taste some incredible food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Call us biased, but we consider the food in Seville to be pretty exceptional regardless of the season! However, when winter arrives, a number of the city\u2019s traditional tapas<\/a> become the perfect comfort food on a cold winter\u2019s day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joy of stepping into the warmth of an authentic tapas bar in the Arenal<\/a> or Alameda neighborhood, and devouring a plate of spinach with chickpeas or tender pork cheek stew in a red wine reduction has to be experienced to be truly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
