This plan starts with the Roman tombs, climbs the tower, crosses the old town to the Puerta de Córdoba and leaves what opens in the afternoon for after lunch. Before you go, book your slot for the Puerta de Córdoba by writing to turismo@carmona.org. ## The day, hour by hour 9:15 · Set off. From Seville, half an hour on the A-4 towards Córdoba. From Córdoba, an hour and a quarter on the same motorway; from Huelva, an hour and a half on the A-49 and the SE-30; from Cádiz, a little over an hour and a half. Park outside the wall, by the Puerta de Sevilla. 9:45 · Roman necropolis. On Avenida Jorge Bonsor, a quarter of an hour on foot. Family tombs cut into the rock, the Tomb of Servilia and the Tomb of the Elephant, and the amphitheatre opposite. Free; the last entry on Sundays is at 14:00. 11:15 · Alcázar de la Puerta de Sevilla. The city gate turned into an alcázar, with the tourist office inside. Climb the Golden Tower to see the town and the vega. €2, €1 for children. 12:00 · Puerta de Córdoba. Cross the old town eastwards to the Roman gate at the other end, with its sunflower centre. 12:00 slot with booking, €2. 13:00 · City Museum.

Next to the Puerta de Marchena, in a former mill. On Sundays it opens at midday, from 13:00 to 16:00; book by phone. 16:30 · Convent of Santa Clara. A visit to the church and convent of the Poor Clares, and a box of sweets to take home. €3. Open from 16:00 to 18:00. 17:30 · The Parador. At the end of the monumental promenade, on the alcázar of King Peter the Cruel. A coffee on the terrace with the Corbones vega in front of you. 18:30 · Head home. ## Where and what to eat The Molino de la Romera is the safe Sunday lunch: traditional Sevillian cooking, at midday from Tuesday to Sunday. For something special, the Parador restaurant, in the former refectory of the alcázar, with the vega at your feet; book it on the Paradores website. ## With children and with a dog With children it costs almost nothing: the necropolis is free, the museum is free for under-18s and the Alcázar costs €1. What they like most is going down into the tombs and climbing the tower. The necropolis has earth and steps: better without a pushchair. With a dog, the walk through the old town and the gates is fine on a lead; the municipal guided visit does not admit pets, and at the monuments it is best to ask. ## Cómo llegar ### By car From Seville, half an hour on the A-4.
