Hmm, 2 hours 30 on the train to Sevilla - Santa Justa. A stroll to the Espacio Metropol Parasol then El Rincocillo c/Gerona 32 for a tapa or two. Then onward to Eslava c/Eslava 3 for some of the finest food in Seville, maybe taking in the Iglesia del Salvador enroute if your tastes run to the seriously Baroque. Then that pleasant post-prandial stroll back to Santa Justa and a nice snooze on the train.
I'd do it for lunch in Eslava
Just the kind of info I was hoping for!! Thanks Tincatinker!! (off to look up Eslava)Hmm, 2 hours 30 on the train to Sevilla - Santa Justa.

In 2014 I planned 3 days in Madrid to museum hop, city tour and was able to add a half day trip to Toledo. Had a fantastic time and was glad I built in tourist time. This April's camino I've built in time in Madrid to go to El Rastro ->the Sunday flea market. I have a full Monday and am looking into taking the AVE train to Seville for a full day. I thought of Grenada first but it appears there is no high speed train service Madrid-Grenada. What are the not to miss sights in Seville? (yes I've looked them up but what do you experienced Seville visitors suggest?)
Hahaha, Yes I also thought long and hard before disclosingGrace, I was trying to keep Ricardo to myself
Well that's prompted a possible change of itinerary. I immediately started checking out the trains to Sevilla and thinking about cancelling my room in Segovia.
You will miss a wonder if you skip Segovia.
It's fantastic!
The logical thing would of course be to skip the El Rastro (or not go as far as Astorga) and hit Segovia on my way back to Madrid. Which if I end up doing 25-30km days rather than 20km days, I might consider because Roman Ruins are delicious! Which also means I need to go to Seville and Italica.A shorter trip, as someone mentioned, would be to Segovia, which is a fantastic place to visit!
In Sevilla, I'd see Italica, personally. In Madrid, have you seen the Sofia Reina or the Prado?

I was able to spend a ton of time in the Sofia Reina and want to go back because I love Modern Art. The Prado's collection (if I read it right) ends about where my tastes begin. Granted, the Prado would be fantastic but I'd probably do the Thyssen instead because I want to see the"Madrid Realists" exhibit. Plus the Museo ABC and the Conde Duque. How about favorite/fun places to eat in Segovia or Madrid? I was so sick with what ended up being pneumonia last trip that I have no idea where or what I ate in Madrid!
