Seville
Seville is Europe's sunniest major city 320 days of sunshine, Moorish architecture, the world's finest tapas culture, and some of Spain's cheapest rents in a city large enough to offer world-class opera, flamenco, and a vibrant tech scene. Triana, the former Roma quarter across the river, is now Seville's coolest neighbourhood full of ceramics studios, craft beer bars, and co-working spaces at a third of the price of Barcelona. A one-bedroom apartment in Los Remedios or Triana costs €650–900/month. The summer heat is real (July averages 36°C), but spring and autumn are among the best three months anywhere in Europe.
