The population of Seville may be over 689,000, but the bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Summers are infamously sweltering, with daily highs routinely exceeding 35°C, while the city's inland location means winters are milder than the coast. Seville's vibrant cultural offerings, from flamenco to festivals, may entice, but those seeking an easy expat life should look elsewhere.
