http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20812
David took us to local tapas places (not a tourist in sight) which were just fab, not to mention cheap - the money you spend on the tour you can mostly save by eating at these spots. Next time we go we will go to one of the local flamenco evenings. Thoroughly recommended.

Their partner company also found us a great apartment to rent.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20812 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20171 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20171 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19778 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19778 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18253
Beware of the restaurants surrounding the Cathederal and Giralda as they are over-priced and will produce a different menu for the tourists!

Try and visit the cobbled winding streets of the Santa Cruz quarter where you will find traditional tapas bars, senors playing the guitar and flamenco dancing.

Seville is all in all a beautiful place to visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18239 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18239 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17455 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17455 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17196
When one travels to Madrid and sees a vehicle with a broken window, the locals joke that this is a gift from Seville.

Bars and restaurants will, more often than not, overcharge you if you are not careful. Be especially aware of taxi fares. They will give you a tour of the city when one is not familiar with the best route to your destination.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17196 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17188 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17188 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16629 www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2007/oct/27/saturday.seville for details.

Open only on weekdays, between 1pm and 5pm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16629 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16230
The cottages are located in an area of dramatic landscapes, and within an area renowned throughout Spain for its Iberian cured and fresh meats. The owners of the cottages also run a ham drying facility, and for a very reasonable price you can enjoy excellent Iberian fare in the barbecue.

The cottages make an excellent detour for people visiting Sevilla and Cordoba, and are ideal for people wanting to go walking in the hills. There are very few tourists, but the cottages are often booked by locals for the weekend.

They are both family and pet friendly.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16230 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15472
Also visited a restaurant called 'Naranja'. A bit out of town up near the Almeda de Hercules but worth the effort. Delicious Andalusian food in a very contemporary setting.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15472 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13750
Hidden away on the edge of Macarena, it is a delight and I defy you to find a better or friendlier bar in all of Seville.

There is nothing here but real Sevilla, peaceful at times, happy at all times, and clean!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13750 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13348
You carry a handheld GPS with you as you walk anywhere. It shows you where you are and what is exciting and interesting near your location.

It is tailored to individual visitors. You are free to create your own GPS tour without the aid of an escorted guide.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13348 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13258
I recommend trying as many varieties of tapas as possible, always keeping in mind, or at hand, a nice beer to chill out.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13258 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13180 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13180 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12864
A soothing, indulgent atmosphere is created by the glistening white of the marble, and the illuminated blue water that plays patterns across the dark red plaster walls, faded wooden ceilings and archways. Your journey through the baths is guided by shimmering scented candles and Arabic lamps. Visits last for 90 minutes but you must book ahead, as they limit numbers due to its popularity. It is open until midnight, if you fancy a late dip.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12864 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12360 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12360
