Sevilla With Kids: We’d Move Here If It Wasn’t SO Hot

Sevilla With Kids: We’d Move Here If It Wasn’t SO Hot

We might have found our favorite city in Spain — and it’s NOT Valencia. Sevilla has the most beautiful thing we’ve seen in two years of living in Spain, incredible parks, stunning architecture, and a vibe that’s hard to beat. There’s just one massive problem… 🔥

We’re Mike and Aubrey from Simplify Abroad — a family of six (plus four dogs and a grandma!) who moved from the U.S. to Valencia, Spain. We took all seven of us to Sevilla and here’s our completely honest take.

⏱ 0:00 – Intro — “If it wasn’t so hot, I might live here”
⏱ 1:42 – The heat — 90°F in MARCH
⏱ 2:03 – Las Setas de Sevilla (the “Honeycombs”)
⏱ 4:21 – Walking through old town Sevilla
⏱ 5:25 – Plaza de España — our #1 attraction in ALL of Spain
⏱ 6:24 – The parks, playgrounds & cafés around it
⏱ 7:42 – Our kid got hit by a Segway (he’s fine 😂)
⏱ 9:40 – Flamenco show — our boys were dancing in the back
⏱ 11:15 – Real Alcázar — Moorish palace with peacocks
⏱ 12:07 – The cathedral climb — 60+ flights of stairs
⏱ 14:30 – Best Indian food of our LIVES (Bollywood Restaurant)
⏱ 16:22 – Final verdict — would we live here?

🏛 WHAT WE LOVED:
✅ Plaza de España — our #1 attraction in all of Spain, hands down
✅ Gorgeous parks with playgrounds, cafés, and shade everywhere
✅ Las Setas — incredible views of the city from the top
✅ The flamenco show had our kids dancing in the back row
✅ Real Alcázar — Moorish palace with peacocks roaming the grounds
✅ Cathedral climb — exhausting but the panoramic views are worth it
✅ Bollywood Indian Restaurant — best Indian food we’ve ever had (3,000+ reviews)
✅ Beautiful old town walking streets with vendors, ice cream, music
✅ Incredibly friendly city — people singing, throwing money to street musicians
✅ Felt very safe, even walking around at night

🔥 THE ONE BIG NEGATIVE:
❌ The HEAT — it was 90°F (32°C) in March. Summer would be unbearable for us. If Sevilla was on the coast, it might be our #1 city in Spain.

⚠️ ALSO GOOD TO KNOW:
🛴 Watch out for Segway tours in narrow alleys (our son learned the hard way)
🦚 The Real Alcázar has peacocks — kids will love it
🥘 The food scene goes way beyond Spanish — try the Indian food near Plaza de España
⛪ Cathedral stair climb = 60+ flights. Bring water. Trust no one who says “two more flights.”

📍 Sevilla is the capital of Andalusia in southern Spain. It’s famous for flamenco, Moorish architecture, and being one of the hottest cities in Europe during summer.
