Seville City Breaks

Andalucia's capital, charismatic, flamboyant Seville, provides a mesmerising home to the fiercely proud Sevillanos, remarkable historic buildings, delightful plazas, sweet scents of orange blossom and jasmine, world famous sensual flamenco dancing, vibrant nightlife and excellent tapas bars; not forgetting Feria, the ever popular spring fair.

Founded by Hercules, Seville borders the Guadalquivir River whose banks are dominated by Moorish landmark, the Torre del Oro watchtower.

Boasting three UNESCO sites, the city is made up of differing neighbourhoods, barrios. Delightful Santa Cruz with narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and charming tree lined squares, well-heeled Arenal, home to a world famous bullring, lively Triana with its beautiful ceramic tiles, azulejos, vibrant flamenco, buzzing nightlife, great tapas and superb riverfront restaurants, and Soho Benita with its huge contemporary wooden structure, Metropol Parasol, trendy restaurants and artisan shops.

Seville is easy to discover by foot, hired bicycle, bus, metro and tram, and worth buying a Seville Card if you intend to frequent museums and monuments.
