Carmona

Carmona is a town 33km north- east of Seville, sometimes described as a mini- Seville. The citadel of Carmona was the main fortress of “Peter the Cruel” or Pedro I. His fortress containing a palace built in the mid 14th Century is now a ruin, except for a small part which has been renovated as a Parador Hotel, where we stayed.

Carmona is unspoilt by tourism and feels very Spanish with excellent tapas bars, cafes and restaurants. Only 30 minutes from Seville airport, it was an ideal final stop on our trip.
