People often ask me for hotel recommendations in a city they are planning to visit. My answer is typically none. I prefer renting an apartment. They are cheaper, have more space and at least a partial kitchen. After checking in, I check out the local food markets. My preference is to go where the locals go. In Seville, an excellent choice is Mercadona. They have 69 grocery stores in the province and 20 within the city. This is their supermarket located at Plaza de Armas.
