Sultry summers in Sevilla

Like many other places with a subtropical Mediterranean climate, Sevilla experiences dry summers and rainy winters. Summer stretches from May to October, and with average daily highs peaking at 97 degrees, it's literally one of continental Europe's hottest summer destinations. Thankfully, there are ways to deal with the heat: take an air-conditioned river cruise, get drenched at the Isla Magica waterpark, or go on a road trip to Matalascanas Beach for a dip in the ocean. Winters are generally mild in Sevilla, with temperatures dipping to a low of 42 degrees in January, while December sees the greatest amount of rainfall.

Sevilla—a river runs through it

The mighty Guadalquivir River meanders through Sevilla, with most of the city situated on the river's east bank and a few neighborhoods like Triana, Los Remedios, and La Cartuja on the west. Situated 54 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, it's the 4th largest city in Spain and the country's most important inland port. Travelers who want to stay close to nature can choose from Sevilla vacation rentals north of the capital, within easy reach of charming mountain villages like Constantina and Cazalla de la Sierra, and the rolling hills and cascading waterfalls of Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park.
