Final Points: Spanish for Travelers

Many tourists visiting Spanish-speaking countries face communication difficulties. Let’s face it, there might be some people that speak English and will be able to help you. But chances are that, at some point, you’ll need to use some Spanish. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?

To help you with this, I’ve prepared this guide for tourists with basic expressions, questions and words that you’ll use in most traveling situations. Just remember that:

• Many of these travel phrases are built with ‘ querer’, ‘gustar’, ‘poder’ and ‘tener’ . 
• Questioning words can take you pretty far if you combine them with the appropriate vocabulary. 
• You use greetings and words to address people to sound more polite.

Hopefully, this guide will help you keep basic conversations. ¡Buena suerte and (disfruta) enjoy your vacation!

First Things First: Greetings To Use On Arrival

Knowing how to greet people is the most basic thing you can learn in a foreign language. And yet its importance shouldn't be underestimated.

Even if you aren’t fluent enough to hold a long conversation, a simple ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?  (Hello, how are you?) can make all the difference.

You'll be able to use these essential Spanish phrases for travel as soon as you arrive at your destination, whether it's at the airport, the train or bus station, or the hotel.

People appreciate it if you make an effort to speak their language when you visit their country, even if it’s only a few words.

Spanish-speaking countries are especially polite and greeting people correctly will go a long way towards endearing you to the locals, be they friends, people you meet in shops or on the street.

• ( BWAY-nos DEE-as)
• (BWAY-nas TAR-des)
• (BWAY-nas NOH-chays)
• (KOH-moh eh-STAH)
• (KOH-moh eh-STAHS)
• (bee-EN  GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])
• (KOH-moh te YA-mas?)
• (May YA-moh… )
• (MOO-choh GOO-stoh)

And of course, let’s not forget common courtesy!

• (por fa-BOR)
• (GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])

If you get stuck in your Spanish conversation, you can always fall back on these next two Spanish travel phrases to get you out of trouble.

• (yo no en-tee-EN-doh)
• (Ab-la in-GLAYS)

Get What You Want On Your Trip With The Verb Querer

Once you’ve finished greeting someone, you’ll need to be able to move on to the crux of your conversation and to do that you’ll need to learn a couple of common verbs.

There are hundreds of Spanish verbs to learn and, to make your life more difficult, these verbs conjugate (change form).

This means learning a verb is never as simple as learning one word; you have to learn multiple different forms.

Having said that, you might be surprised by how far you can get only knowing one simple verb: I want .

It may not make you the most sophisticated Spanish speaker but 9 times out of 10 it will get you what you, well, want .

The verb in question is querer (to want) and in the first person form, it becomes quiero (I want).

Let’s take a look at how you can use it:

• (yo kee-EH-ro oon me-NOO)
• (YO kee-EH-ro oon taxi)
• (yo kee-EH-ro OO-na ser-BAY-za)

If you’d like to be a bit more polite (which is usually a good idea), you can also use:

• (kee-see-EH-ra…)

Asking For & Understanding Directions On Your Trip

Whether you’re looking for the toilet in a restaurant or trying to find a hotel to stay at, you’ll inevitably need to ask for directions at some point during your trip.

The simplest way to ask where something is, is to use ¿Dónde está? followed by the noun you are looking for:

• (DON-day es-TAH el BAH-nyo?)
• (DON-day es-TAH el BAN-koh?)
• (DON-day es-TAH la KA-yay de al-cal-AH?)

When travelling in a foreign country, if you're asking someone on the street for directions, don’t forget your manners! To get someone’s attention, start by saying:

• (Dis-KUL-pay)
• (Con per-MEE-soh / Per-DOH-nah-may)
• (eh- stoy per-DEE-doh)

Asking for directions is one thing but it’s pretty pointless if you don’t know how to understand the directions that are given to you!

Memorise these phrases to help you understand what the friendly locals are trying to tell you when you ask for their help:

• (A la de-RE-cha)
• (A la iz-kee-ER-da)
• (De-RE-cho)
• (En la es-KEE-nah)
• (a OO-na KWAD-rah)

Getting Around Spanish-Speaking Countries

If you’re not keen on walking everywhere, you'll need to be able to find out about local transport options to find your way around wherever you are.

Whether you're travelling to Mexico , Spain or anywhere else in the Hispanic world, here are a few basic Spanish travel phrases you can use to locate a bus, train or taxi and get to wherever you need to go:

• (DON-day PWAY-doh en-kon-TRAR oon taxi?)
• (DON-day eh-STAH la pa-RAH-dah de ow-to-BOOS mas ser-KA-nah?)
• (DON-day eh-STAH la es-tah-see-ON de ferro-carr-EEL mas ser-KA-nah?)
• (KWAN-to KWES-ta oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra …)
• (oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra … por fa-BOR)

At A Restaurant On Your Travels

Each Spanish-speaking country has its own unique flavours and cuisine for you to try when you travel!

Food is definitely one of the big attractions to cities like San Sebastian in Spain and Buenos Aires in Argentina , so you'll need to make sure you have a basic grasp of food vocabulary ahead of your journey!

To start with, you need to be prepared to hear and understand certain questions in restaurants, such as:

• (kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra koh-MER?)
• (kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra beh-BER?)
• (KAY kee-EH-res koh-MER?)

When you read the menu, you'll see the available food grouped into different categories, just like in an English menu:

• (oo-na en-TRA-da)
• (oon PLA-toh prin-si-PAL)
• (oon POS-tray)
• (OO-na beh-BEE-da)

When you're ready to order, use either  quiero (I want) or  quisiera (I would like) with the items on the menu to tell the waiter what you'd like. For example,  quiero…

• (OO-na SOH-pah)
• (OO-na en-sa-LA-da)
• (el POY-oh)
• (la CAR-nay)
• (oon AG-wa)
• (oon BEE-noh TIN-toh / BLAN-koh)
• (OO-na ser-BAY-sa)
• (oon ka-FAY)

So, for example, to order that ice-cold beer you're looking forward to at the end of a long day, you'd say  quiero una cerveza.

If you're not sure what to try, you can always ask your waiter for a recommendation:

• (kay may re-kom-ee-EN-dah?)

In most restaurants in Spanish-speaking countries, the staff will be more than happy to suggest a particularly tasty local dish for you to try.

If you're a vegetarian or you have dietary complications, these next two Spanish travel phrases are essential:

• (soy be-he-tah-ree-AH-noh/nah)
• (TEN-go al-ER-hee-ah a las noo-EH-ses)

Finally, let's learn a couple of quick phrases you can use to ask about prices and pay the bill.

• (KWAN-to KWES-ta? )
• (la KWEN-ta por fa-BOR)

Key Spanish Question Words For Your Trip

Over the course of your journey, you'll almost certainly find yourself asking lots and lots of questions.

You might not have a huge Spanish vocabulary to draw on, but if you know the basic question words, you'll be able to get by in almost any common situation you might find yourself in.

Here are some key Spanish question words you need to know:

• (KWAN-doh?)
• (A kay AW-ra?)
• (KWAN-toh?)
• (KWAN-tohs)
• (kah-dah KWAN-toh?)
• (por KWAN-toh tee-EM-poh)

Once you’ve got these question words in your memory bank you’ll start noticing the patterns in Spanish grammar which will help you to move away from the basic Spanish phrases every tourist is using.

As you learn new words on your trip, you'll be able to combine them with these question words to start forming your own sentences and questions!

Travel in Spanish: How to Say It, Translations, and Pronunciation Tips

To say “travel” in Spanish, use “viajar.” This verb means to take a trip or journey. It relates to movement between places. Related terms include “el viaje” (the trip) and “mover” (to move). In casual contexts, you can say “ir a toda pastilla” to express quick movement.

Common travel-related phrases include “¿Dónde está la estación?” which means “Where is the station?” and “Necesito un taxi,” translating to “I need a taxi.” Understanding these terms can greatly enhance a traveler’s experience in a Spanish-speaking environment.

Pronunciation Tips: The letter “v” in Spanish sounds closer to a “b” in English. Therefore, “viajar” is pronounced like “bee-ah-har.” Emphasizing the sound of the “j” as similar to the English “h” will also aid in clear communication. Listen carefully to native speakers to grasp the nuances of pronunciation.

As you learn more about travel in Spanish, consider how to navigate common travel scenarios, such as ordering food or asking for directions. Next, we will explore essential vocabulary for dining and transportation.

Why Is Listening Beneficial?

Before we start feeding your travel Spanish, it is important to understand why listening is beneficial when learning Spanish. 

As someone who has taught English mainly to Spanish-speaking students for a couple of years, I’ve noticed that those who limit themselves to only reading and solving grammar exercises tend to have a harder time with the language. 

On the other hand, those who take the listening exercises seriously and try to repeat as they listen tend to achieve fluency more quickly than their peers. While our level of mastery is directly linked to our specific set of abilities and how much we practice, listening to a native speaker in their language and trying to imitate them is one of the best pathways towards fluency.

The first thing we need to know is our verb, the Spanish translation for “to travel” is viajar. In this section you’ll learn how to conjugate this verb in:

• Simple present – Presente del indicativo
• Simple past – Pretérito del indicativo
• Simple future – Futuro del indicativo 

Keep in mind that, ustedes and vosotros are both the second person of the plural form—however, Latin Americans use ustedes and Spaniards use vosotros . 

Presente del indicativo

Pretérito de indicativo

Futuro del indicativo

To keep this part simple practice one sentence with each tense:

Tú viajas hoy. You travel today.

Mis padres viajarán el sábado. My parents are going to travel on Saturday.

Mi vecina viajó el año pasado a Colombia. My neighbor traveled to Colombia last year.

PRO TIP: In Spanish, we use el presente del indicativo to talk about habits, but also to talk about something that is happening today.

Simple Spanish Travel Phrases

We’ll start off with some basic travel vocabulary in Spanish. 

In this section, I include 4 basic phrases to show where you’re from, what you will do on your travels when you’re going back, and how long you are staying in a country.

 Check out these useful Spanish travel phrases.

Where You’re From

Vengo de Inglaterra.  I come from England.

Soy jamaiquino(a). I am Jamaican .

Soy estadounidense; vengo de Pittsburgh. I am American, I come from Pittsburgh.

Talking About Your Plans

Haré un tour por Guatemala, El Salvador, Belice y Honduras durante dos semanas. I will make a tour through Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, and Honduras for two weeks.

No iré a Nicaragua porque no es parte de mi plan. I won’t go to Nicaragua because it isn’t part of my plan.

Regresaré a Jamaica el 3 de Diciembre. I will go back to Jamaica on December 3rd.

Estaré tres días y dos noches en Guatemala. I’ll be in Guatemala for three days and two nights.

PRO TIP: Some South Americans use the verb devolverse instead of regresar when talking about going back to your country. In the sentence above, you can substitute the word regresaré for me devolveré too.

Travel Spanish To Use at the Airport:

For most of us, the airport is the first thing we see in a foreign country. Latin America has some awesome airports , where they probably speak English—but why take any chances, when you can learn some useful Spanish travel phrases.

Looking For a Place

¿Dónde está el baño? Where is the bathroom?

¿De qué terminal sale mi avión? From which terminal does my plane leave?

¿Cómo llego a la puerta 40F? How do I get to gate 40F?

Stating Your Business

Vengo a este país de visita. I’m visiting this country.

Venimos por motivos de negocios. We are coming for business.

Mi hermano viene a estudiar; yo solo vengo a dejarlo. My brother is coming here to study; I am just dropping him off.

Stating the Duration of Your Visit

Nos quedaremos aquí por dos semanas. We’ll be staying here for two weeks.

Regreso el 25 de Noviembre. I’m going back on November 25th.

Mi hermano se quedará hasta el próximo año; yo hasta la próxima semana. My brother will be staying until next year; I will (be staying) until next week.

Declaring Your Belongings

No traigo más de diez mil dólares en efectivo. I do not bring more than ten thousand dollars in cash.

Llevo cinco cajas de medicinas en mi maleta. I carry five boxes of medicine in my suitcase.

No tengo nada que declarar. I have nothing to declare.

Travel Spanish To Ask for Directions

One of the most important things when traveling is asking for directions, knowing where to go and where not to go and. If you’re in Latin America. 

Remember to use the usted when talking to people you don’t know and are (or seem to be) older than you, and tú or vos when talking to someone your age or younger.

Formal Ways To Ask for Directions:

Disculpe, caballero, ¿dónde se encuentra La Mano? Excuse me, Sir, where is La Mano ?

Perdone, señorita, ¿cómo podría llegar al Museo del Oro? Excuse me, Miss, how can I get to the Gold Museum ?

Señora, ¿me puede indicar cómo llego al Palacio de Bellas Artes? Madam, could you tell me how to get to Palacio de Bellas Artes ? 

Informal Ways To Ask for Directions:

¿Dónde está el volcán El Arenal? Where is El Arenal volcano?

¿Me decís cómo llegar a la Fortaleza del Cerro? Can you tell me how to get to Hill Fortress ?

Dime por dónde sigo para llegar al hotel. Tell me where to go to get to the hotel.

Following Directions in Spanish

After asking, most locals will try to help you and they will most likely combine the following verbs:

With some of these directions:

Practice Sentences

Siga derecho y al llegar a la esquina cruce a la derecha. Keep going straight and turn right when you get to the corner.

Regrese por donde vino y al terminar la cuadra camine 50 metros al oeste. Go back, all the way down the block, and walk 50 meters to the west.

Gire en la próxima avenida y llegue hasta el mercado; allí estará enfrente. Turn in the next avenue, reach the market; it’ll be there right in front.

Spanish Travel Phrases To Use at the Hotel

After finally arriving at your hotel and being about to reach some peace of mind, you’ll need to talk to the staff . Since they are people you do not know, I would recommend using formal Spanish in order to be more respectful.

Phrases To Use When Arriving

Reservé una habitación sencilla a nombre de… I booked a simple room under the name…

Es posible que me quede dos noches más en el hotel. It is possible that I will stay two more nights at the hotel.

¿En qué piso (o planta) se encuentra mi habitación? Which floor is my room?

Asking About Additional Services in the Hotel

¿El wi-fi está incluído en la tarifa? Is Wi-Fi included in the fee?

¿Hasta qué hora sirven el desayuno buffet? What time is the breakfast buffet served until?

¿Tengo acceso al spa y al jacuzzi con la habitación que renté? Do I have access to the spa and jacuzzi with the room I booked?

Asking About the City

¿Qué es lo mejor para ver en esta ciudad si solo tengo un día para visitarla? What’s the best thing to see in this city if I only have a day to visit it?

¿Se puede llamar a un taxi que me lleve, me espere y me traiga de vuelta al hotel? Is it possible to get a cab that takes me where I’m going, waits for me, and brings me back to the hotel?

¿Qué tan seguro es visitar ese barrio por la noche? How safe is it to visit that neighborhood at night?

FUN FACT: Many Spanish speakers don’t mind when a foreigner uses tú (the informal way) to talk to us, since some of us adopt a “forgiving” attitude towards this.

Talking About Currency

While the U.S. Dollar is widely accepted in many big cities, the deeper you adventure yourself into a country, the more difficult it gets to trade with a foreigner currency.

Solo tengo un billete de cien dólares, ¿me puede dar cambio? I only have a one-hundred-dollar bill, can you give me change?

¿Puedo pagar con dólares? Todavía no tengo la moneda local . Can I pay in dollars? I don’t have the local currency.

¿Cuánto es/son…en dólares? How much is… in dollars?

Getting Cash

¿Dónde hay un cajero automático por aquí cerca? Where can I find an ATM close by?

¿Cuánto me va a cobrar de comisión por hacer un retiro? What is the additional commission it will charge me to make a withdrawal?

Necesito que me dé el vuelto en billetes de a cincuenta quetzales, por favor. I need my change in fifty-quetzales bills, please.

Moving Around on Your Own

If you visit places out of walking range you are going to need to get a cab, a bus, a tram, or a metro, and it is useful to ask around for metro lines, times, and being safe on your trip.

¿Qué línea de metro debo tomar para llegar a Insurgentes? Which metro line do I have to take to get to Insurgentes?

¿Cuántas paradas faltan para llegar a…? How many stops to get to…?

¿A qué horas pasa el siguiente bus y a dónde va? What time does the next bus pass and where does it go?

¿Hay un tranvía en esta ciudad? Is there a tram in this city?

Quotes About Travelling in Spanish

For this last little section, I compiled four great quotes about travelling in Spanish to motivate you to travel, get to know magical places outside your country and see how beautiful Spanish can be.

“El mundo es un libro y quienes no viajan leen sólo una página”. “The world is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page.” —St. Agustine.

“Viajar es fatal para los prejuicios, la intolerancia, y la estrechez de miras”. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” —Mark Twain.

“Viajar es la única cosa que compras que te hace más rico”. “Travelling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” —Anonymous.

“Nadie se da cuenta de lo hermoso que es viajar hasta que llega a casa y descansa su cabeza sobre su vieja y conocida almohada”. “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow”. —Lin Yutang.

While traveling in Spanish-speaking countries it’s necessary to know the numbers and dates . Even if you know how to ask “ How much does it cost? ” – it doesn’t mean that you will understand the answer (yes, I’ve been there).

Spanish-Language Outreach on Safety and Stewardship Expands Access, Earns National Recognition

“Splash” the water safety dog joins a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at Sandy Point State Park. Maryland DNR photo.

For many years, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recognized a disparity in relating laws, regulations, and safety information to one of the fastest-growing communities enjoying the outdoors. Spanish-speaking residents faced multiple barriers to access at the parks, particularly with customer service and community programming.

In 2016, DNR launched its program, Es Mi Parque – Spanish for “It’s My Park” – to better connect the Maryland Park Service to visitors of Hispanic descent, and for Natural Resources Police to more effectively communicate with an important constituency. The department has also created a full Spanish version of its online licensing system.

And today, Maryland is recognized as one of the first states in the country to produce its boating regulations in both English and Spanish.

“It’s important to reach all of our cultural communities in Maryland when it comes to boating safety,” Department of Natural Resources Secretary Josh Kurtz said. “Our agency has made it a priority to effectively engage with our Spanish-speaking population, and our outreach continues to provide a wealth of information to the Hispanic and Latino community interested in safely enjoying our state’s natural resources.”

This year, the International Boating and Water Safety Summit has honored the Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) for providing boating safety education to Spanish-speaking boaters. These awards recognize the creative ways boating and water safety advocates are communicating with the public about safety on and in the water. NRP received the communications award for printed media, as the agency developed translated materials and signage to reach Spanish-speaking boaters, including the Maryland State Requirements for Recreational Vessels . One NRP reserve officer — Jose Pena De La Guardia, a native of Panama — spent more than 100 hours translating materials in conjunction with NRP’s Safety Education and Outreach Unit.

The Maryland State Requirements for Recreational Vessels is a summary of boating laws and regulations for Maryland. The guide includes information on boat registration and proper licensing, safety requirements, “rules of the road,” and life saving tips. Maryland is also one of the first states to offer the state’s boater safety course in Spanish , mandated for all boaters born on or after July 1, 1972. Additionally, Maryland offers Spanish-language services including fishing license sales ,  fishing regulations , and a personal watercraft (Jet-Ski) rental test.

“Hispanic waterway users in Maryland are disproportionately being affected by boating and swimming accidents,” Natural Resources Police Boating Outreach Coordinator Donna Seymour said. “Our unit saw a need to effectively engage with our Spanish-speaking boaters to promote safe boating practices, and beginning as early as 2019, our reserve officers took charge in translating important safety education materials.”

Hispanic outreach events are organized throughout Maryland. Es Mi Parque, boating safety, and fishing events at state parks are popular. DNR photo.

According to a 2023 report from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation , 5.1 million Hispanics participated in fishing in the United States in 2022, increasing nearly 45 percent in the past decade. A 2018 report from the same publication noted that nearly half of the study’s respondents agreed that fishing and boating are part of their cultural heritage. As the Hispanic population grows nationwide and in Maryland, the number of Hispanic boaters and anglers climbs, which presents opportunities to better engage and interact with this audience to promote boater safety and education.

In Maryland alone, Hispanic residents have registered more than 6,000 boats in the past five years, not including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, and paddleboards. Annually, DNR issues more than 30,000 fishing licenses to members of the Hispanic population. That figure accounts for nearly 10 percent of all licensed anglers in the state.

Maryland is also one of just three states – joining Iowa and Nevada – to use funds from the Recretaional Boating and Fishing Foundation’s State R3 Program Grants to target Hispanic communities, increase fishing participation, and improve department reach and visibility. The campaign generated the translated license system – and accompanying customer service platform – and helped introduce DNR’s Es Mi Parque program.

Park visitors at Es Mi Parque and other outreach events can visit multiple stations to see what DNR has to offer. This future ranger poses at the Maryland Park Service display. DNR photo.

Now nearing its 10th year, Es Mi Parque offers information and services to Spanish speakers with the goal of increasing awareness of state conservation laws and regulations while learning more about boating, fishing and water safety. Events include anything from fishing lessons to aquatic games to hands-on demonstrations by staff from various units, including the Maryland Park Service, Natural Resources Police, Wildlife and Heritage Services, Chesapeake and Coastal Services, Forestry, and Fishing and Boating Services.

In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, DNR will celebrate with its last event of the season on September 29 at Seneca Creek State Park.

“Having been involved with the Es Mi Parque program since 2021, it’s been really rewarding to see the difference in interactions between park visitors and park staff,” Es Mi Parque Program manager Monserrat Pizarro said. “The repetition in our events has helped us build relationships with community organizations that visitors can join to continue exploring their interests in environmental stewardship and outdoor recreation. It all comes down to making these opportunities available to everyone.”

Stay in style in the Spanish city where you can still eat out for under €10

The hotel overlooks the city's modern masterpiece, arguably one of the best views there is.

The stylish OD Sevilla hotel – the latest addition to the Ocean Drive (OD) family – opened its doors at the end of May next to the city’s modern landmark, Las Setas – a mushrooming, wooden canopy that doubles as a viewpoint of the city. It joins OD properties in Madrid, Barcelona and Ibiza.

Seville hit the headlines this year after mayor José Luis Sanz proposed introducing an entry fee to the historic Plaza de España, one of the most-visited attractions in Spain.

The plaza, in the scenic Parque de María Luisa, blends Renaissance and traditional Islamic architectural styles and features tiles galore, ornate bridges, and some of the prettiest alcoves in Spain. It has featured in films including Lawrence of Arabia and Star Wars . It is currently free to enter, but the constant stream of visitors is now being blamed for overcrowding, vandalism and the ongoing need for expensive repairs.

While Luis Sanz has suggested charging tourists for entry, it would remain free to local residents. However, no official decision has yet been made and no timescale has been set – so if you go now, you can still wander around this captivating landmark free of charge.

A recent survey by frequent flyer site Flight Hacks ranked Seville among the best value holiday destinations in Europe – awarding it third place behind Bucharest, Romania and Krakow, Poland. According to Flight Hacks, dining out in Seville costs an average of just £37.68 for a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant.

The 49-bedroom hotel is located in the historic centre of Seville, in the Encarnación neighbourhood, overlooking Las Setas de Sevilla (the ‘mushrooms of Seville’) – the breath-taking wooden structure designed by the Berlin architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in 2011 after six years of construction.

Las Setas houses a market with restaurants and bars on the ground floor, a performance square and archaeological museum, plus a rooftop viewing platform (entry €15) offering a panoramic view of Seville’s historic centre.

It’s just a 10-minute walk to the cathedral and 12 minutes to the Royal Alcázar . You can also walk to the Plaza de España is around half an hour and the airport is a 20-minute drive.

The superior, deluxe rooms and suites are decorated in a light, neutral style with top-of-the-range tech (Bose speakers, Nespresso coffee machines) and modern furnishings.

Unusually for such a central location, all rooms have a balcony or terrace from which you can admire the mushrooms. It is arguably one of the best (and unique) views in the city. Depending which way you look, different buildings are framed by the mushrooms’ humps and dips while at night, the structure is illuminated with different colours.

While superior rooms are compact, they have been designed to accommodate a work/desk area, storage and dressing area, plus a coffee machine, mini bar, safe, and en-suite. However, the shower is located within the main room – no doors/curtain/privacy – so if you’re sharing with anyone other than a partner, you might want to upgrade.

There is one accessible deluxe room with terrace. Cots are available on request.

The atmosphere

The hotel has been designed in the Mudejar-meets-Mediterranean style that Seville is known for. ‘Spanish chic’ probably sums it up best.

The entrance is through the art-adorned bar (a welcome cocktail at reception was a nice touch) and a spiral staircase leads up to a library area. The bar is cool and quiet – perfect for a coffee or cocktail catch-up before you head out to explore.

There’s a real mix of guests, from international tourists to Spanish business travellers, and we found the atmosphere to be relaxed and welcoming.

Adding to this, staff are all well acquainted with the city so they can tell you exactly where to find top tapas in the lesser-known side streets.

Food and drink

Breakfast should not be missed. There’s a continental buffet alongside an a la carte menu, both included in the price. The buffet features the usual suspects alongside more intriguing options such as a Seville orange custard topped with brownie. Spanish additions to the menu include eggs with Iberico ham on Andalusian bread.

One of the most appealing things about Seville is that you can still find incredible places to eat serving dishes that cost just a few euros. Popular tapas dishes such as tortilla, croquetas or sliced jamon start from around €3.50 and if you pick the right bar, the local speciality of vermut (vermouth) can be as little as €1.50 while a small beer or house wine might just break the €2 barrier.

A personal highlight was fried artichoke and jamon in Bar Zurbarán, an unassuming tapas bar tucked away behind Las Setas with high ceilings inside and a huge terrace outside. Arrive early as it’s popular with locals and as it gets busy, names are added to the blackboard waiting list.

Summer is snail season in Seville and many tapas bars serve them – look for a chalked-on picture of a snail added to the menu if they have them in stock.

A great destination for tapas is the Triana district, which has a more laidback feel than central Seville. There is also an incredible food market in Triana that’s worth visiting – even if you’re not hungry – just to ogle the giant hams and brightly coloured fresh fruits. You’ll need to cross the Puente de Isabel II to reach it, but it’s all doable on foot.

Churros are a welcome addition to many menus as is tarta de queso (baked cheesecake). In the central shopping area, Bar El Comercio is a must-stop location. Famed for its churros with chocolate, it even has a hatch from which to order if you don’t want to dine in – although if you do, there are some competitively priced tapas and drinks on offer (house wine at €1.90? Yes please!). The churros are hot, huge and made to order and the chocolate, while thick and creamy, is not too sweet.

You could spend days just wandering around the city admiring the architecture while stopping here and there for tapas and a drink.

Many of the main attractions can be accessed, at least in part, free of charge. Las Setas (other than the rooftop walkway) is free to explore and parts of the cathedral do not require a ticket either.

The Plaza de España (a genuine must-see) and Parque de María Luisa are (for now at least) free to enter too. Entry to the Real Alcázar de Sevilla – a compound of royal palaces and gardens – starts from €13.50 and is worth every cent.

Devour Tours runs expert-led food and drinks tours that will help you to see a side of the city that you might otherwise overlook (from £70). We joined the Triana Neighbourhood Tapas Tour (€79) during which we were lead around the neighbourhood, stopping off at three tapas bars, an exquisite church and a freiduría – a Spanish take on a fish and chip shop.

During the tour we were introduced to local delicacies such as 100 per cent pork loin, seasonal snails, fried adobo (fish), sherry and the favourite drink of Sevillians, Tinto de Verano (red wine mixed with a sweet soda called Casera).

It’s worth signing up for a tour at the start of a trip since the knowledgeable guides offer great tips on how and when to order tapas, the best dishes to look out for and some great recommendations on where (and what) to eat and drink. It will instil you with confidence for the rest of your holiday and help you make some great dining choices.

You’ll love…

The view of Setas de Sevilla from OD Sevilla is beyond comparison – you can’t not see it. And each time you look, it’s slightly different, depending on how and where the sun hits the structure or what’s visible between the shifting clouds.

Constructed from 3,500 cubic meters of micro-laminated Finnish pine, it is believed to be the world’s largest wooden structure. At night, the colour-changing light show is simply spellbinding.

Double rooms at OD Sevilla start at €150, room only, od-hotels.com/hotel-ocean-drive-sevilla

Spanish islands issue urgent plea to Brit tourists as they leave in tens of thousands

The Balearic Islands' tourism agency is stepping up its efforts to attract UK holidaymakers after statistics revealed a 10 per cent drop in British tourism in July

• 11:22, 3 Sep 2024
• Updated 12:44, 3 Sep 2024

A popular Spanish holiday destination is ramping up its efforts to lure UK tourists after witnessing a significant dip in visitor numbers following a series of anti-mass tourism protests.

The Balearic Islands reported a 10% decrease in British tourism in July after months of negative headlines about anti-tourist sentiments on the holiday hotspots. Across 2023 just shy of four million Brits visited the islands, suggesting the July slump meant tens of thousands fewer UK travellers will have headed to the Balearics. Meanwhile, Germany, Spain's other major tourism market besides the UK, saw a 12% increase during the same period, reports Birmingham Live .

The extent to which these protests have influenced holidaymakers' decisions to travel elsewhere remains uncertain, but it's known that the region's tourism agency AETIB had already initiated a UK-centric media campaign to counter any negative fallout before the statistics were released, the Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.

"Communications have therefore been sent to the media as well as to tour operators and travel agencies. These are intended to convey messages of reassurance that tourists are most certainly welcome on the islands and shouldn't fear a hostile reception or displays of 'tourismphobia'," the publication writes.

An escalating anti-tourist sentiment in certain areas of Spain has led to numerous protests in Majorca, the busiest island in the Balearics. Protesters marched through streets with signs telling tourists to 'go home' and blocked holiday-goers from accessing popular beaches. The demonstrations primarily aimed at enforcing stricter controls on tourist rentals to improve housing for locals, but took a dark turn when 'kill a tourist' graffiti appeared on several walls in the town of Manacor.

Tourist numbers from the UK to Spanish isles have been riding a rollercoaster, with a minimal 0.3% uptick in April wiped out by a significant 5.9% drop in May, according to Majorca Daily Bulletin. Though June saw a modest 2.4% recovery, July brought a stark 10% fall in arrivals.

Amidst these fluctuating figures, a holiday rentals insider voiced scepticism about the AETIB marketing efforts, telling the Majorca Daily Bulletin: "No matter how much they tell them that everything is fine, if potential visitors see an image on television with a slogan saying kill a tourist, they will think twice."

The end of Spain's peak tourist season has prompted price slashes across the board, with desperate attempts to attract travellers marking a bleaker picture for parts of the sector. In Menorca, car hire costs are down by a fifth, vacation properties are tempting tourists with discounts up to a hefty 40% for September stays, and even ferry fares to the mainland have seen cuts of 20%.

On Ibiza's more opulent end, swanky hotels are reducing rates to fill rooms, whereas lower-starred accommodations have reportedly fared better, starting off August on a strong note as recovered by the Spanish Association of Hotel Managers (AEDH), who've described the month as 'positive' despite the turbulent times.

Back in June a poll found close to half of almost 900 respondents were thinking twice about travelling to Majorca for a holiday. Local tourist bosses are concerned about the economic impact of a drop in visitor numbers, arguing that demonstrators are "playing with fire ", the Majorca Daily Bulletin reported at the start of the summer. In recent months The Mirror has been inundated with readers getting in touch to say they've been put off travelling to Spain because of the protests, which have seen huge crowds of protesters take to the streets calling for change across the country.

"I have decided to take my holidays elsewhere, somewhere the locals want tourists and the benefits they bring to the local economy. There is no point in going where you are not wanted, there are plenty of other places to visit in Europe and around the world . See how they manage without tourism," one Brit wrote to us.

Another holidaymaker added: "We have and will be avoiding ALL of Spain, including the Canaries and Balearics, until Spain clarifies their overall policy regarding tourism. We holiday abroad three times a year and will not be going to destinations where Brits are unwelcome.

"If the Spanish want to trash their main sources of income, that's up to them. I think they are targeting the wrong area i.e. the tourist. The Spanish need to ensure their Government gets the balance right by welcoming tourism, getting tougher on bad behaviour by tourists and providing homes for their tourist industry workers."
