Finally, if you have decided to get by plane, you will land at Seville’s International Airport (San Pablo). It is located about 3 km from the city. It is a leading airport in Europe, but it is not too big so you can easily get around on foot.
This airport was designed by the famous architect Rafael Moneo. Its design immerses us in the Sevillian, and Andalusian culture based mainly on three characteristic components of this land: la Mezquita, el Palacio, and the orange trees. As soon as we enter, we are greeted by an orange grove. Upon entering, we find a very spacious hall with blue tones caused by the glazed tiles, accompanied by an arch supported by vaults.
This airport has a very large parking with access to the arrivals and departures areas, as well as offering all types of short, medium, and long-distance parking.
The airport is very well connected to the city, and if you do not have your own car or a rented car, you can take a bus and get there in just half an hour. You can find the bus timetables here.
