Spring Getaways by Private Jet: Seville and Fez

Why travel in spring?

From March to May, southern Spain and Morocco offer their best conditions: mild days, pleasant evenings and exceptional light. In Seville, it is azahar season, the orange blossom that scents the whole city from mid-March to mid-April. It is also the time of the city's two great events: Semana Santa, from 21 to 28 March 2027, with processions day and night through the historic centre, then the Feria de Abril, announced for 13 to 18 April 2027, a week of casetas, horses and sevillanas that transforms the city. In Fez, spring is the ideal season to explore the medina on foot before the summer heat. Note that in 2027, the month of Ramadan ends in early March, after which the city returns to a particularly lively pace.

Seville by private jet: Andalusia 2 h 15 from Paris

Spain's fourth largest city and the capital of Andalusia, Seville concentrates a rare heritage. The Cathedral and the Giralda, the Real Alcázar and its gardens, all UNESCO World Heritage listed, the Plaza de España and the Triana district can be discovered in two or three days. The Museum of Fine Arts is worth the visit for its works by Velázquez, Zurbarán and Murillo. As for the art of living, the city is explored from bar to bar over tapas, and the Real Maestranza bullring, among the oldest in Spain, hosts its great seasonal corridas around the Feria. For a long weekend, Seville offers a rare balance of culture, gastronomy and festive atmosphere.

Where to stay and dine in Seville?

Three five-star addresses to consider:

• Hotel Mercer Sevilla, a boutique palace set in a historic mansion in the old town;
• Hotel Alfonso XIII, the city's historic address, between the Cathedral and the Guadalquivir;
• Hotel Palacio de Villapanés, an 18th-century palace turned charming hotel.

For dining, Abantal holds one Michelin star for chef Julio Fernández Quintero's contemporary Andalusian cuisine. Az-Zait, also selected by the Michelin Guide, serves creative cooking in the San Lorenzo district. For local atmosphere, the tapas bars of Triana and the Alameda de Hércules remain unmissable.

Fez by private jet: Morocco's thousand-year-old medina

Founded at the end of the 8th century, Fez is the spiritual capital of Morocco. Its medina, Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the largest pedestrian quarters in the world: a labyrinth of alleyways revealing madrasas, fondouks and souks. Craftsmen perpetuate centuries-old gestures: copper and brass metalworkers on Place Seffarine, potters and zellige tile-makers in their dedicated quarter, and the famous Chouara tanneries, whose dye pits offer one of the country's most striking images. Fez is also a recognised gastronomic tradition, Fassi cuisine, heir to Arab, Andalusian and Berber influences.

Where to stay and dine in Fez?

Four reference addresses:

• Palais Faraj Suites & Spa, an Arab-Andalusian palace facing the medina, with one of the finest views in the city;
• Karawan Riad, a restored former palace in the heart of the medina, with individually designed suites;
• Riad Fès, Relais & Châteaux, the grand luxury address of the old city;
• Hotel Sahrai, a contemporary five-star designed by Christophe Pillet, with infinity pool and rooftop.

For dinner, Dar Roumana serves refined Franco-Moroccan cuisine in a medina courtyard, with only a handful of tables: book ahead. L'Amandier, atop the Palais Faraj, offers a Moroccan menu facing the panorama of the old city. Nur, the Riad Fès table led by chef Najat Kaanache, serves a tasting menu improvised daily from the market.
