The province of Seville in Andalucia,  is  full of picture postcard landscapes, monuments, white villages, fertile lands and the world famous Doana National Park. The Aljarafe region is one the prettiest with its beautiful towns and villages including Carmona, Utrera and Ecija.

The city of Seville must surely rank as one of the most romantic in Spain. The city  offers everything you would want for a romantic getaway, perhaps to  spend an unforgettable St Valentines. The city is steep in history and many cultures. It offers some of the finest food and wines in Spain and of course is credited with inventing Tapas.

An evening stroll along the Guadalquivir river is a must. Lining the banks are an array of  old bars, cafeterias and  restaurants serving up such delicacies as cured jam,  local goats cheese and anchovies  in oil  and vinegar. 

There are many historic landmarks and monuments in Seville  including the Golden Tower, the La Giralda, Seville Cathedral and the Maria Luisa Park.

The city offers some beautiful romantic hotels and our pick of the best is the Hacienda San Rafael .

This truly authentic Andalucia hotel offers luxurious surroundings and is full of Spanish charm. It is set among 350 acres of a working farm which makes this centuries old former olive far, a perfect romantic retreat. It has retained so many of its original features which have been beautifully restored in the traditional colonial Andalusian style.
