Before you go
None of these fit in a bag. Sort them first and the packing gets easy.
Some cash in local currency
Cards fail more often than you'd think. Carry EUR for markets and taxis.
Passport valid past your dates
Seville wants 3 months left on a passport past December. Check the expiry date now.
Copies of your documents
Photograph your passport, cards, and insurance. Email them to yourself. Ten seconds now saves a very bad afternoon.
International driving permit
Rental desks here ask for an International Driving Permit alongside your license. AAA issues them same day.
Travel insurance
Most home health plans stop at the border. A quote takes two minutes.
eSIM
An eSIM works the moment the phone is switched on in Seville, with no SIM counter to find.
