We will be in Seville and Arcos de la Frontera and other White Hill tows during Holy Week and are concerned with restaurants and tourist sites being closed. I would think that even though it's Holy Week that things would be open since so many travelers visit the area then. Anyone know about this? Thank you.

We were in that region during holy week this year and the answer is that almost everything is open. There may be some special hours for some sites due to events (which were mostly sadly canceled due to heavy rain this year) but its pretty normal if more crowded than usual. As for restaurants, I don't think I saw a single one that was closed except on Easter itself.

I was in Arcos a few Easters ago and everything was open. If you can plan on being there on Easter Sunday, please do. It's a huge street party and there's a bull run through the old town. All of the restaurants set up beer stalls along the bull run route (don't worry, there's a narrow railed off section where the bull actually runs through). There's a park at the traffic circle where the parking deck is that has live music at the end of the day with food & craft vendors. I had no idea all this went on until we walked out our door planning on doing some day trips. We talked to some locals about what was going on and decided to stay. Glad we did. It was one of the funnest days of our trip and I'd schedule an entire vacation around a return trip here. Have fun!
