Seville
Andalusia's capital, orange-tree courtyards and flamenco, brutal in July and August, glorious the rest of the year.
Seville's old town is small enough to walk end to end, dense with sherry bars and bodegas that outlasted the tourist boom by staying exactly what they were. Summer heat is not an exaggeration here — plan around it rather than through it.
