I'm clearly so into you because he's implying that I'm a [profanity deleted](well that's what he wants to call me.. But this forum is clearly so important to him that he doesn't want to intentionally break the rules).
Seriously though. I'm probably heading to Paris for my 20th. I'll get dinner with ya or something. Any good place for steak?
Steak? Hmmm... Can't find any off the top of my head, I'll do my little research, just tell me when you arrive so I'm not too much on my heels.
Prague is another pick pocket heaven when you get there
In Paris your going to get steak. When in Rome man, when in Rome. Lol

¿Sabes Español?
Well we do have steak if that's what he wants
I know you have steak, but he’s in Paris, eat French
Just saying, it's not what we do best but we want our guests to enjoy their stays.
I know and I’m just kidding @Lost_In_Translation as well. Today I believe he is in Madrid.

My experiences are quite old. I lived in Europe for 5 years between 89 - 94. Things change -but here's my bucket list.
As for places "in your neighborhood" ... you need to go to Toledo. IMO it is absolutely stunning and not too far a trip from Seville and you can hit it if you are on your way to visit your friend in Madrid.
Outside of your country ...
1) Prague - Honestly, I liked it best when it was still untouched by western capitalism, but it is still a beautiful city. Do not make it sound like a chore or a sacrifice for a friend. The place is amazing.
2) Rome - A place you must see before you leave this earth. You're young ... the city is big, but you can walk it. You'll see little things that aren't advertised that you'll otherwise gloss over if you are going from one major point of interest to the other. Obviously, Coliseum/Forum, Spanish Steps, Campidoglio and St. Peter's/Vatican are musts. Be sure to get meals off the tourist tract. Eating in Italy is one of the great pleasures of travel there.
3) Cinqueterra, Italy - On your way to/from Rome, stop here just for a day. Seaside villages are unreal. This was relatively unknown when I was there, but I'm afraid the word got out and now they're crushed with tourism, but probably still worth a look
4) Paris - see 1st sentence above ... too many things to mention, so I can't even imagine why you'd even mention Euro Disney. If you are going to take an excursion out of the city center, go to Versailles instead.
5) Sorrento, Italy - You mentioned Alamfi - you can visit it as a part of the whole area of Sorrento. Go to Capri and, of course, Pompeii.
7) West Coast, Ireland - Be in Dublin as an arrival and drink there for St. Pats. Then go west young man. Cliffs of Moher (County Clare), Gallway, Aran Islands. Of course, this is all about nature and scenery. Not about city life at all.
8) Heidelberg Germany - Biased, cause that was my home town for some years while living in Europe. The old town is beautiful. Don't need much time there, but it is a haul from Seville so I don't know if you want to take that trip. If you end up there, also hit Rothenburg.
Whatever you do - enjoy! It is an opportunity you must seize.

Hit Toledo on your way back to Seville.
What would you say Paris does best?
Tough one tbh. Paris isn't one of those cities you go to taste one particular food. It's not like Britanny (where I'm from) where everyone wants to eat some good crêpes, it's like a lot of capitals that offer a blend of everything in terms of food. Personally I have some favourite restaurants and some places I know are worth a shot, but I wouldn't say there's one dish I'd advise in particular. I'll think it through though.
It’s the same in London tbh - the best restaurants are often foreign themed - if you want to eat like the English you likely get an Indian lol - my favourite places to eat have always been places like the Greek round the corner, the Thai/Indian takeout and then the Argentinian steak place...
Loved Toledo. I had a tour through Spain in 2013 and spent some time in Toledo on the tour. It’s a must, very nice city. If you have sometime go to Valencia and Grenada as well. I’m Grenada you have to see Alhambra.
And let’s not forget the British Breakfast
