Taxis in Seville?

I am travelling to Seville early in the New Year and the only return flight
available was at 8.20am.

I am intending to book an "aparthotel" at the far end of Alameda de
Hercules.

Given that I will need to leave the centre for the airport at about 6am,
this prompts several questions.

Will I be able to find a taxi at that time in the morning (my Spanish isn't
good enough to ring for one, and the hotel/apartment is probably not big
enough to have a 24 hour reception desk)?

What are eating facilities like at Seville airport at 7am for breakfast?

Or should I book into an airport hotel the night before?

-There shouldn't be any problem walking out onto the street and finding a taxi at that time, and you may even be able to have the hotel staff call the night before

-Coffee and rolls for the most part, not too cheap but could be worse...

Or should I book into an airport hotel the night before?
-No point doing so, the airport isn't more than a 30 minute drive from where you are and quite possibly less if you are leaving so early. Good luck! www.houseinjerez.com

The airport at Seville is only about 10 minutes away from the city by taxi.
There are no hotels next
to the airport. Seville taxi drivers are always hungry for Euros or even
Dollars and like the idea
of charging extra for early morning trips to the airport. It is probably
best to arrange the taxi
the previous evening and get to the airport in good time. These are taxi
company numbers in Seville
95 467 55 55, 95 458 00 00, or 95 462 22 22 . I am sure you can find
english spoken or ask someone
to help? Seville airport is normally quiet throughout the day, and it has a
self service restaurant
plus a coffee bar and I am pretty sure one of these will be open for the
basics. There is also
another coffee bar open inside the departure waiting hall (after you go
through security and just
past the duty free shop) .
As a matter of interest, the first bus to the airport is scheduled to run at
06.15 and arrive at
06.45 every day. next one is at 06.45 arrives 07.15 but not at weekends.
This may be an option and
you can see a copy of the route of the airport bus here

Maps of Seville are normally showing the East at the top ! The airport is
roughly North East and the
bus arrives into the cetre near the Santa Justa rail station then proceeds
into the centre. This
will probably not be an option for you.
Can find good maps on the web at
http://callejero.paginasamarillas.es/home.asp just add your
address details.
Buene suerte !
