SEVILLE 2006: WHAT TO PACK…

• In terms of clothing it is advisable to take layers – it will be warm in the daytime (around 20˚C) but much cooler in the evening. March is also so the month with the highest rainfall so be prepared. Comfortable shoes are also important as we will be doing plenty of walking in the daytime.

• In Spain electricity sockets take round two-point plugs so you will need an adaptor for hairdryers etc.

• Money – make sure you have some Euros. Credit/debit cards are also accepted widely and most cards will be accepted in cash machines.

• Batteries and film for cameras etc

 

OTHER INFORMATION

• In Spain you are required by law to carry some form of identification (i.e. your passport) at all times.

• Unfortunately pickpocketing and similar crimes are not unusual in the Andalucian cities. So it is important to carry your money safely and be vigilant at all times.

“Spring is the best time to visit Andalusia, any week from early March when the orange trees are coming into blossom” (Insight Guide to Seville)
