Seville
Sevilla
The warm heart of southern Spain, home to a vast cathedral, a Moorish royal palace, flamenco and some of the country's liveliest tapas bars.
Seville is the warm, lively capital of Andalusia, in the south of Spain. It is a city of orange trees, grand squares and a deep love of flamenco, where Moorish and Christian history sit side by side. Its huge cathedral and the Royal Alcazar palace are among the finest sights in Spain, and the old quarter is made for slow wandering. Hot in summer and golden in the evening light, Seville is one of the country's most romantic cities.
What [Destination] is known for
Seville is known for two great monuments that tell the story of southern Spain. Its cathedral is one of the largest in the world, built on the site of a mosque, with the Giralda bell tower rising from the old minaret. Beside it, the Royal Alcazar is a Moorish-style royal palace still used by Spain's royal family, with carved arches, tiled courtyards and lush gardens. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city is also the home of flamenco, and you can still feel it in the bars of the Triana and Santa Cruz quarters. Seville lives outdoors, in narrow lanes scented with orange blossom, on tapas terraces and in grand spaces like the Plaza de Espana. Its festivals, from Holy Week to the spring Feria, are among the most famous in Spain. This is a city to take slowly, especially in the heat, with long lunches, evening strolls and late nights. Romantic, warm and full of life, Seville is the place many people fall hardest for in Spain.

Things to do in [Destination]
For history, tour the Royal Alcazar, a Moorish palace of tiled courtyards and gardens, then climb the Giralda tower at the vast cathedral next door. If you like grand spaces, visit the Plaza de Espana and stroll the Maria Luisa Park. For atmosphere, get lost in the old lanes of Santa Cruz and cross the river to the Triana quarter, the heart of flamenco. In the evening, watch a flamenco show and join a tapas crawl. When summer bites, slow right down and follow the locals into the shade. Whichever way you want to play, Seville has it.
Where to stay in [Destination] (City)
Where you base yourself shapes the trip. Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter, puts you among the main sights in a maze of pretty lanes. The central Arenal and Alfalfa areas are handy for tapas and nightlife. Across the river, Triana is the more local, flamenco-rich choice, with a strong neighbourhood feel and good places to eat.
Food and drink in [Destination]
Seville is a tapas city, best enjoyed by moving from bar to bar. Look for local favourites like spinach with chickpeas, fried fish, and slices of cured Iberian ham. In summer, cool down with salmorejo, a thick cold tomato soup. Sherry from the nearby region is the classic drink, and many bars serve it straight from the barrel.

Travel tips for visiting [Destination]
Book Alcazar and cathedral tickets online ahead, as queues are long, especially in spring. Explore the old centre on foot, as its narrow lanes are not made for cars. In summer, sightsee early and late and rest in the heat of the afternoon, as locals do. Catch a flamenco show in Triana for a more local feel than the big tourist venues. Take the high-speed AVE train for easy day trips to Cordoba. Try sherry from the barrel in an old-fashioned tapas bar.
