Had been considering a trip to Granada, but Seville recommendations are swaying me. Anyone got any opinions on the former?

It's more like a day-trip imo - not saying you'd have a bad time there but Seville is a lot more buzzing. I was there on a Monday night and the city was alive with people eating and drinking outside.

i don't think you can go far wrong with any of the cities in andalucia tho - i've been around there a bit and i liked them all in their own ways, there's distinct identity wherever you go.

Seville is hard to fault, but Granada is quieter (in a good way) if still fairly touristy. I'd say Granada's worth an overnight stay as walking and getting lost (and eating an drinking) around the old town at night is super fun.

Chuck_Tatum,

We've really enjoyed here:

and here:

https://www.norfolkcottages.co.uk/north-norfolk-coast-cottages/stiffkey/1554-bridge-cottage?utm_source=shortlist&utm_medium=email

Both a short walk to the coast path.

The former village has two pubs, the latter has Stiffkey Stores and a pub. We make a log burner essential when doing a search for somewhere to stay in Norfolk. Cley is nice, too. Holt is worth a visit, particularly if you like places like: old-town.co.uk/

We've stayed here (no log burner) but it was strangely claustrophobic/exposed and people seemed to think it was okay to knock on the door and ask if it was a holiday let. And I prefer the landscape further west:

That's great. Really like the look of the Stiffkey one - will investigate further. Thanks!

one month passes...

Has anyone got any recommendations for Siberia? Tomsk looks pretty manageable as a three or four day trip from Moscow.
