where to go, seville or san sebastian?
 

Hello. I'm planning for a trip to spain in the end of june, beginning of july 2014 for a total of 9 nights. I will be spending 5 nights in barcelona and 3 nights in madrid. I still have 2 nights but I'm really confused of where to go. I was thinking of san sebastian and then I saw seville and it seems like it's a great city. We are a group of 3 persons aged 23 years old. We would love to meet spanish people and wander through lively streets. Which city do u think best suits us? I've read about the food and beaches of san sebastian and the great monuments and places in seville. I'm really confused.please help.thank u

I suggest Seville for a first time visitor to Spain. Save San Sebatian for another trip when you have more time to it justice.

Although I really wanted to see san sebastian but I think I'll go by your suggestion.
Thanks :)

What city are you flying into? Departing city? Times of arrival, departure? That could make a difference.

I would save Seville for a time when you have more days to devote to it and to the rest of Andalucia. Andalucia is very hot in the summer and Seville et al are better visited in spring or fall.

This was my primary itinerary: to fly from beirut lebanon to barcelona (5 nights) then take a train to san sebastian (2 nights) then another train to madrid (3 nights). Once done with madrid, take a flight to milan and then to lake como and bellagio.(3 nights)
I was thinking about seville because san sebastian is all about beaches and lake como is full of natural beauty scenery as well. That's why seville seems more of an option now. But I'm still not completely sure. I need advice from people who have already visited these beautiful cities. And by the way we're not big fans of cultural heritage and museums. So please help.

Both cities deserve more that 2 nights.

But if that's what you have, consider it may be much hotter in Seville that San Sebastian.

You can't go wrong except perhaps the heat factor would mean SS is better.
Seville is more of what you expect to see in Spain, a classic Andalucian city.
