Seville, Spain

What to wear in Seville, Spain

In summer, wear light, natural fibers for comfort as well as to ward off heatstroke. In winter, dress in moderately warm clothes with waterproof shoes, and carry an umbrella for the frequent rain. In spring and fall, wear a jacket or sweater for mildly cool temperatures. Fashion-wise, Spaniards generally dress up more than Americans, so in addition to casual clothes for sightseeing, pack nice clothes for good restaurants and nightclubs. No one wears sneakers except American tourists! If you want to blend in, wear leather shoes.

Spoken language in Seville, Spain

Spanish is the national language, which is quite easy to learn and your efforts to speak a bit of it will be graciously received. English is widely spoken, especially in the tourist centers.

Electricity in Seville, Spain

The electrical current in Spain is 220 volts/50 cycles AC. Wall outlets take round, two-prong plugs, so you will need an adapter to use your American appliances.
