How Seville can be the coldest of cities

People can mistake Seville for being spring like: all orange trees, blue skies and sunshine. And while the climate is of course relatively mild don't be surprised if you feel a chill during your visit in the late fall or winter months. And it's not always the outdoor temperatures which will chill you the most. Plenty of my German and American friends who come from colder climates complain of being cold wherever you go, especially in their own houses. The majority of apartments have no central heat. And everything has been built for warm weather: smaller windows don't let the sun in, central patios keep the building unpleasantly cold. Plus marble floors and cement or tile walls radiate cold instead of heat. I think I get most of my warmth outside in the sun. And outside is where I notice the milder climate unless it is raining. So don't be fooled. We get cold in Seville, too!
