Visit UNESCO sites like the Moorish and Gothic Catedral de Sevilla and the Royal Alcázar before dining at the electric Andalucian hotspot, Manzil.

Practical Tips for Planning Your November Honeymoon
Book Early November Dates
Unless you want to add some holiday cheer to your holiday (we’re all for that, too), most holiday destinations in November are cheaper during the first couple of weeks before holiday breaks.
Check the Forecast Before You Fly
Many of the best honeymoon locations in November have excellent weather most of the month.
But if you’re planning a visit to honeymoon destinations in the USA or Europe in particular, check the forecast to see if you need warm or cold weather clothes, as the weather can vary dramatically from day to day.
Search for the Best Hotel Rates
Finding places to honeymoon in November is usually much cheaper than in the high season and around the holidays. Book your hotel early (with free cancellation) but check back often, as many hotels tend to lower their rates closer to the date of your stay.
Look for Holiday Events
The Holiday season is a romantic time of year, and many cities embrace the cold weather and shorter days as a perfect time for hosting holiday events leading up to December. Check with your hotel or on local community calendars for any holiday events you want to attend (or avoid).
