re: Day Trip from Seville?
Posted by CidCock on 4/29/25 at 12:51 pm
We didn't realize Alahabmra tickets were so hard to get, any tips for early June? The 3rd party sites are suspect.

We’re staying in Lagos in early June for 3 nights (traveling from Seville to Lisbon) with our two kids (ages 5 and 11). We’d love to spend time on the beaches, do some kayaking, and just soak in the coast.
Of course, Benagil Cave looks incredible – but we’re wondering if it’s worth doing a kayak tour there, given it’s a 40-minute cab ride from Lagos. Would that be too much of a hassle with the kids? Or would it make more sense to kayak locally around Ponta da Piedade, which is much closer to where we’re staying?
We’re also considering doing a boat trip to see Benagil instead, and saving the paddling for Lagos. Has anyone done both and can compare?
Open to other activity recommendations too – especially anything fun and low-stress with young kids.

I just flew back to CLT from PUJ and made it through customs and to my shuttle in probably 10 minutes. It was the easiest it's ever been.

You are right next to the cathedral, so you will be in the heart of the action.
There are several cafes along calle Mateos Gago. We ate some great tapas outside and people watched from Taberna Belmonte
The Alcazar and Cathedral are must-dos. We enjoyed the tour of the bullring, only took about 45 mins. We watched a flamenco show at La Casa de Flamenco, and it was excellent. There is a cool store next door called Orange Tree that has a lot of chocolates, cookies etc made with Seville oranges.
You must go to El Comercio to try a churro and chocolate. It is heavenly
Thank you, adding to my list now!

We are planning Madrid to Granada to Sevilla, but were planning train the whole way. I was under the impression it was a reasonable train tride from Granada to Sevilla, should I reconsider this?

Great info, thanks. We are going (wife + 2 girls, 11 and 5) in June for 15 days - Madrid - Sevilla - Grenada - Algarave - Lisbon.
For the trip from Sevilla to Grenada, is it easier to rent a car than just take the train?

It's as hot as anywhere - I'd still go. I live in Columbia, so its only a 2 hour drive - but the wife and I go almost monthly for a night away when the grandparents are up for a night with the kids.
It's a great weekend getaway.

Thanks man
I had been on “the list” and wanted it for my 40th. Made friends with an AD years ago and he came through! It was tough to stomach, but obviously couldn’t say no

Posted by CidCock on 1/14/25 at 10:28 am
I'm thinking about making a move as well. I have a 2008 4Runner with 230k that has served me well but the paint is terrible and I have a leaking rear axle. I can't bring myself to paint it or make a $1k repair on a $6k vehicle....so I just keep rolling

It's a shame the LSU & @Bama games had to end the way they did because a 2 loss SCar team would be in no questions asked.
It definitely hurts, but the life of a Gameockc :wah:
The Bama game, we just couldnt' execute when it mattered - the LSU game one is def tough to stomach.

Ole Miss lost by 3 to Kentucky
Ole Miss lost by 3 in OT to LSU in Death Valley
Ole Miss lost by 7 to Florida in the Swamp
SCAR lost 27-3 to Ole Miss in Columbia
That's fair, I couldn't argue Ole Miss getting in over us. However, the timing of the losses is what we potentially get us in.
FWIW, playoff predictor has you guys much lower, not really sure why other than it's better to lose on October 5 than 11/23?
