Money mistakes to avoid
- Visiting in July or Augustthe heat regularly passes 40C and afternoons shut down, spring and autumn are a different city
- Not booking Real Alcazar tickets online in advancesame-day entry often sells out completely
- Booking a big dinner-and-show flamenco packagesmall tablaos and penas in Triana are cheaper and far more intense
- Driving into the old townlanes are barely car-width and access is restricted, park outside or skip the car
