There is a thread on parking in Seville but it is closed and quite a few years old. So... I was thinking of driving to Seville (from Ayamonte) and wondered where the best places to park are. I don't mind paying a few Euros if I have to.

I remember posting on that thread - I don't think things have changed significantly since then so if you have read the thread you probably have as much info as you need.

Depends where in Seville you want to visit - there are plenty of public car parks and they are well signed.

Personally I prefer the underground car parks on either side of Paseo de Cristobal Colon - near the Bull Ring. They are very easy to get to from the A49, they are handy for the Giralda and Cathedral and about a 10-15 minute walk to Santa Cruz. They are also a short walk to the main shopping streets and they take credit cards in the parking machines as well as cash, which can be handy.

I would recommend the same one, close to river to wander along, Torre del Oro and Triana, some great tapas bars over there as well as in Santa Cruz, a favourite is The Bodega Santa Cruz, Calle de Rodrigo Caro.

Also there is the new Gourmet Market in Triana, well worth a visit Lonja Del Barranco | Seville Food Markets | Gastronomy | Sevilla | Andalucia | Spain

Oh on my next trip up I might have a look there, thank you.

Try this for various locations:

Seville Spain parking - Plazas de parking, aparcamientos en la calle, parquings, garajes privados

I perhaps also should have said that I don't mind not having to pay

Years ago when I lived fairly near Sevilla I could have told you lots of free parking, don't know about it now as live too far away to bus it in a day. They built that hideous tower on one of them, one place out of town, the Spanish parked on the lines at a roundabout they seemed to know which days the police came to check it another was a wee side street on the edge of Isla de La Cartuja

If you are stopping overnight I have found that some hotels have deals with the car parks, whereby for full 24 hour periods you pay a reduced bill at the hotel. You then pay the subsequent hours at the car park

You will struggle to park for free this time of the year,unless you go very early?,
lots park along the river,it seems to be free there?.

PS, bit obvious but it will be very hot there.
