Hi everyone! I'll be going on my first ever solo trip abroad and decided to go back to Spain. I've been to Barcelona and loved it. I decided on Seville because of how many people recommended it and I also have a friend there who can show me around. This is just a rough plan so if I'm missing anything please let me know. I enjoy seeing architecture, nature and eating good food. Any recs for restaurants or cafes?

Edit: Updated itinerary with all your useful tips. Also, I haven't decided where to stay yet. Never stayed in a hostel but I heard its good to make friends there. As I'm quite a light sleeper, not sure whether I can sleep in a room of strangers. I use earplugs everyday even when I stay in my own room to prevent noise from the street waking me up. I was thinking maybe an airbnb as I would have my own private bedroom.

Edit 2: Finally booked the flight after weeks of contemplation :) So excited!

Edit 3: I'm back from Seville and enjoyed it so much!! I posted some photos here and wrote a trip report if anyone's interested!
