Although Seville enjoys around 300 days of sunshine a year, from time to time, particularly in winter – for example, like this week – you can get relatively long spells of wet weather. But it would be a shame to let that spoil your holiday, so we’ve come up with a list of suggestions for things to do for those rare occasions when the sun isn’t shining.<\/p>\n

\"rainyPlaza de la Alfalfa<\/em><\/p>\n

Go to the cinema<\/strong>
\nThe Avenida 5 Cines complex in Calle Marques de Paradas shows current movies in original versions. Curl up with your favourite stars and never mind the weather. Check the programme here<\/a> (it changes every Friday).<\/p>\n

The Museum of Fine Arts<\/strong>
\nOne of Spain’s most important art museums<\/a> with works by all the Spanish old masters including local boys made good Velazquez and Murillo. It’s in a lovely old building that was once the convent of the Order of Merced Calzada de la Asunci\u00f3n. Well worth taking a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

The Cathedral<\/strong>
\nThe Cathedral<\/a> is on your list anyway, and you don’t want to waste good sunshine time indoors, so visit it now. It’s the biggest Gothic cathedral, and third largest church, in the world, but it isn’t just big, it’s actually rather interesting, with the tomb of Christopher Columbus, lots of gold, and a stuffed crocodile.<\/p>\n

\"eating<\/a>Go Shopping<\/strong>
\nAnother of those activities that normally keeps you indoors when you’d rather be outdoors. Take advantage of the fact that everyone else is still at home to shop in peace. You don’t even have to buy anything unless you really want to.<\/p>\n

Tapas Bars<\/strong>
\nFind a nice cosy tapas bars<\/a> and order up a round (or two) of food and drinks. Sit where you can watch the poor unfortunates outside hurrying past with their umbrellas, and feel suitably smug because you’re on holiday. Or put your own umbrella to good use like this fellow and defy the elements.<\/p>\n

The Antiquarium and Encarnaci\u00f3n Market<\/strong>
\nGoing topside may not be so great in the rain (though there are some nice bars up there), but going down under the “mushrooms” in the Plaza de la Encarnaci\u00f3n takes you to the Roman ruins and museum.<\/a> Marvel at the mosaics, columns, walls and wells while listening to the rain on the roof. If you’re there in the morning you can also take a stroll through the Encarnaci\u00f3n market on the main level. This will work up your appetite ready for lunch.<\/p>\n

Stay at Home<\/strong>
\nIt may be the last resort, but you’re staying in a warm, comfy veoapartment<\/a>, and there’s something primevally satisfying about being indoors and listening to the rain outside. So grab a book and a glass of wine, turn on the telly and settle down for an hour or two. The sun will be out soon enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
