Azahar has lived in Sevilla for decades and knows what she's doing, the tapas and flamenco scene etc.
And very different flamenco places around town, only top of the shelf artists perform in Casa de la Memória and La Casa del flamenco, and in these venues, and a few more in Sevilla, there's no food, no drinks, just flamenco, and it's less than half the price of the often more touristy tablaos (flamenco restaurants).

And if you want to experience real deal flamenco with the locals, go to Peña Torres Macarena:

Question on your apt in Sevilla- did the bells from the Cathedral ring early in the morning? We just left a great apt in Sarlat next to the cathedral and the bells rang for ~4 minutes every morning at 7. I love bells but not at 7 am! Thanks

Yestravel...according to Bikerscott the bells did ring, but the only ones I heard were at 9am as they seemed to be louder. The shutters and rolling shutters really cut the noise. I guess it depends how sensitive you are to it!

Sigh...well we made it back home and the photo link above has been updated with all my photos. Can't believe the trip is over, we had such a great time!
I will update more over the next few days.

Thanks everyone!
Ok details.
For accommodation I couldn't have been happier with our choices. We spent 4 nights at a winery outside of Ronda, 5 nights in an apartment overlooking the cathedral in Seville, 3 nights at a lovely B&B in Córdoba, and 3 nights in a hotel with a private patio in Granada.
Ronda: http://www.la-perlablanca.com
Breakfast in bed overlooking the winery and hills of Ronda. Beautiful pool area. Minutes from Ronda but easy access to the highway.
Seville: https://www.genteel-home.com/seville...thouse-seville
Overlooking the cathedral, great AC, private terrace. We loved this apartment.
Córdoba: https://www.patiodelposadero.com
This was a beautiful place to stay with a lovely pool area and fantastic homemade breakfasts.
Granada: https://room-matehotels.com/en/leo/
Had a lovely room with a private terrace. Staff are super helpful and this is a great location.
We took a taxi to Alhambra at 8am to be the first into the palace. Well worth it...taxis are cheap in Spain!

Love your pictures! We spent our honeymoon in/around Granada 11 years ago. We didn't get to Seville or Cordoba and now I really want to go back to get to those cities- I especially loved your photos of the Moorish art/architecture. Where and when is your next trip?

Thanks Florida1!
We are going to Paris next weekend, Madrid the weekend after, and then spending Christmas in Paris and the week of New Years in Tuscany! Living in London does have its advantages!

Jamikins, I love your photos. We just returned today from a fabulous trip to Spain. Went to many of the same places that you did.
Are you a professional photographer? What kind of a camera do you use?
Thanks,
Karen
