I agree totally with the issue of packing earplugs. I always travel with earplugs and have had to use them in a couple of the apartments I have lived in here at home (where it is now approaching -30C...please feel sorry for me). Is Seville as bad as Madrid regarding the all night noise issue? I hope to stay in the Barrio Santa Cruz vicinity, perhaps the
Hostal Arias which appears to be in a quieter spot near the Alcazar.
Also, I again met with my travel agent today who now can get me a flight on Air Canada from Edmonton-Toronto-Madrid in the first week of May for only Cdn$900 with taxes (about USD$560 - an excellent price if you know where Edmonton is). This is 100% non-refundable/no change of return date as most sales are. I think I will be buying this ticekt next week.
Thanks again!
