In a nutshell
A beautiful and alluring city that is a true taste of Spain
120 Reviews The Real Alcázar was the first sight I visited in Seville, and definitely the most impressive. As a former student of Islamic Studies I was especially intrigued by the Arab-influenced parts of the building, and I was not disappointed by the incredible details in the architecture and the calligraphy....
128 Reviews The Cathedral is a really impressive building. It is built in Gothic style (a favorite of mine) and the third-largest church in the world. It has a beautiful orange courtyard, you can climb the tower, there are some lovely windows, a lot of beautiful relics, and you can see the tomb of Christopher...
84 Reviews This Square was built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is located in the beautiful María Luisa park. It is an absolutely beautiful area with little ponds and small bridges. You can even take a boat across. There are tiles for several Spanish cities so that the entire area represents all...
53 Reviews Walking the narrow and nicely kept streets of the Santa Cruz District I began to think I was in a small Spanish town. As a city planner I of course questioned who would have laid out such a street plan that does not appear to have any rhyme or reason. The noise level dropped considerably from the...
43 Reviews The Torre de Oro (Tower of Gold) was named that way because at one time it would hold gold and precious metals that came from the Americas. Honestly, I'm not sure how it could have held that much, it's not that big. The tower has served as a prison, storehouse and military watchtower over the years,...
24 Reviews GASTRONOMY. During the Fair food plays an important role. Cold pork goods such as cured ham and sausages are served as well as seafood. In the afternoon each "caseta" usually serves stews sich as chick peas with spinach or even meat in tomato sauce and much more... On MONDAY evening the Fair is...
54 Reviews The Giralda was once the minaret for the mosque in Seville. It is now the belltower for the Cathedral of Seville. You can climb the 34 ramps to the top. It's not a terribly difficult climb really, ramps are somewhat easier than stairs. It was built so that a man on horseback could ride up and down...
38 Reviews If there's one thing the Spanish know how to create it is beautiful parks, and the María Luisa park is no exception to this. Even though it is located next to a busy street, as soon as you enter it you feel completely at peace. It has several beautiful buildings as well as a small island of birds...
4 Reviews and 856 Opinions The location was stellar - maybe a 10-minute walk to Sevilla Cathedral. The hotel has a rooftop...
19 Reviews and 437 Opinions No, we didn't stay there, but the classic beauty of the building and its perfect location make it,...
16 Reviews A few VTers have said they have no problem taking a subway or metro but they find buses too difficult. While I can understand their concerns, Sevilla's bus system is well laid out and inexpensive. Sevilla's bus system is run by Tussam, a local company. Tussam operates about 40 daily bus routes and...
17 Reviews Seville is now accessible by a modern line connecting to Madrid by AVE. Taking less than 3 hours, it is not cheap, costing more than 70€. Vueling flies for almost the same price and gives you extra time to look around, for instance, the old and beautiful train station, now transformed in a...
9 Reviews In Seville, they take Holy Week very seriously. Every day, at different times during the day, there are parades, and here is what usually happens for each parade: Groups of nazarenos in robes with pointed hoods (if you see them, don't freak out, they're not the KKK!) holding candles exit the church...
8 Reviews Next to the Feria you find a huge lunapark, called "Calle del Infierno" - Hell's street. When you walk around there you understand why it got this name. You can find merry go rounds but also some spectacular and impressive machinery that only seems to have the objective to get your head spinning, by...
16 Reviews People of Sevilla stay up late, and stay out late. We had to walk a ways to a taxi stand at 4:00 am and were wondering if we would run into mischievious types.... but what we found were a lot of people still sitting in bars (not blasted, by the way)and many couples walking around after a night...
8 Reviews When we visited Sevilla, there were a few gypsies around the cathedral area. They were typically ladies, and would approach people (mostly tourists, I'd say) and offer them a small bunch of rosemary or other posy, saying that they are lucky, and should have this gift. They would then try and get the...
5 Reviews Even though the flamenco show is meant for tourists, it features excellent bailaores, guitarists, and cantaores. The food is acceptable. What is not acceptable is that our camera with more than 300 photos from Cordoba disappeared. My wife forgot it on the way out. Just as we arrived at the hotel,...
6 Reviews Giralda is an attraction for itself, in the marvel of the cathedral. It's easy to climb, because it has inclines instead of stairs, and they seem not too steep. That's right. But they are... long. Now imagine the sorrow I felt when, in my way down, we met a Japanese senior couple with him...
2 Reviews A day trip to Ronda is perfect when you're looking to see more of Andalucia. If you plan to go on a Sunday, all the main attractions are open for tourists; the bridge, the roman baths, the museum, etc. You can take the bus from the San Sebastian station, the trip lasts just under 3 hours. The...
6 Reviews there's more to Seville than palm trees and flamenco shows. Take the time to walk around and see where your feet lead you. The picture featured here is of a mosiac in Italica, Santiponce; ruins from the Roman Empire.
Guadalquivir River and Bridges
15 Reviews Along the Guadalquiver River that runs through and seperates Sevilla into two, you find many small parks where you can take a few minutes to rest from your walks through the town. We also saw this lone kayaker with his trainer. These were the ONLY things moving on the river in contrast to the Seine...
31 Reviews I have no idea why narrow streets so fascinate me, I guess it could be because I grew up in a home that had distance between us and the neighbours, so I try to imagine how it would be living and growing up when you could literally put your arm out the window and touch your neighbour across the...

A lovely romantic weekend, no doubt. I choosed to go during summer even if may or October are better times to choose, so I could enjoy a city with less people around, and better prices. Los del...
Sevilla, more moorish then spanish ?
Seville, the capital of Andalucia, has many monuments and architecture that reflect centuries of different cultures (romans, arabs, jews, gypsies) that left their mark. Not only buildings, but also...
