Seville is a 3-hour bus ride or 1.5-hour car ride from Albufeira and is the perfect place to visit if you are missing the hustle of a city after days lounging on the beach. We were only there for 24 hrs but Seville felt like a place that I would want to call home forever. I loved the textures, colors, vibrancy of people, the parks, the food - everything. Check out Lola Por Dios and Restaurante Petra for some authentic and upscale tapas. Don't forget to try the croquettes! Grab some amazing pastries at Manu Jara and cool down with some amazing ice cream at Olmo. Take a walk around the Santa Cruz neighborhood, across the Triana bridge, and along the río Guadalquivir. It's a great way to immerse yourself in the culture and see the city from a different perspective.
