TIME TO ENJOY
A PERFECT SPRING DAY IN SEVILLE
There are seasons that bring cities to life. That shake them up, perfume them, fill them with light. In Seville, this awakening is called spring. The city fills with sounds, flowers, promises.
The sky expands, the orange blossom blooms and everything seems to move in slow motion, as if time too wanted to savour every instant. And there is no better place to start this journey than from a boutique hotel in Seville like Plácido y Grata, where everyday beauty is cared for in detail and every corner is an invitation to pause.
Waking up in Plácido y Grata
Waking up here is another way of travelling. From the calm of your room, where the light softly filters through the curtains, to the first aroma of the day: freshly ground Nomad Coffee, toasted bread and fresh fruit waiting on the table. Breakfast in our hotel cafeteria is a ritual and a true statement. Between steaming cups and the murmur of conversations that are just starting, something is activated: the senses, the excitement, the desire to discover Seville.
Going out into the street at this time of year is like stepping onto a living stage. The air smells of orange blossom, the façades glisten in the sun, and the shadows cast by railings and balconies seem like poetry. Walking leisurely through the historic centre, letting your intuition lead you to discover that corner that is not listed in the tourist guides, becomes a stroll that activates all the senses. The ear is filled with footsteps, guitars, laughter. The sight meets the beauty of the details. And the soul simply expands.
Before the sun is overhead, there is nothing more appealing than sitting on a terrace, ordering a drink and sharing tapas that taste of Andalusia. Seville lives outwards and, in spring, more than ever. It is the time to look around, to witness how the city beats and for you to feel part of that rhythm.
Back to the hotel to pamper yourself with the essentials
Back at the hotel, everything invites you to relax. The room welcomes you like an intimate, cool, silent refuge. An unhurried bath, a gesture of well-being with Rowse products, designed to reconnect with the essentials, to remind you that you are also here for yourself.
“Because in Seville, spring is not only lived, it is felt”
The afternoon continues with a sweet treat at Plácido y Grata Nido before heading out again. You might choose to lose yourself in La Alameda, with its effervescent atmosphere and mix of styles, or go down to the river and let the sunset over the Guadalquivir surprise you with its golden light.
And when night falls, the hotel’s courtyard becomes a small oasis. The dim lights, the clinking of cocktail glasses, a jazz melody floating in the air. There is something magical about closing the day like this, as if everything you’ve experienced is collected in that instant and turned into memories.
Because in Seville, spring is not only lived, it is felt. And although the city celebrates Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril in style, the truth is that its splendour can be found in every detail, in every corner. In the experience of letting yourself go. And in that small luxury of knowing that, at the end of the day, Plácido y Grata is always waiting for you.
