Spain
Seville & Surrounds — Boutique Hotels & Travel Guide
Seville is the capital of Andalusia and one of the great cities of Europe — a city of flamenco, tapas, and extraordinary Moorish architecture that manages to be simultaneously overwhelming and deeply liveable. The historic centre, with the Cathedral, the Alcázar, and the Barrio Santa Cruz, is the finest in Spain. The surrounding Campiña — the agricultural plain stretching south and east — produces the olives, oranges, and sunflowers that define the Andalusian landscape.
Pourquoi visiter Seville & Surrounds
The Alcázar of Seville — a royal palace of extraordinary Mudéjar architecture, still used by the Spanish royal family — is the finest building in the city and among the most beautiful in Spain. The Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the world, contains the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The Barrio Santa Cruz — the former Jewish quarter — is a labyrinth of whitewashed lanes and orange-tree courtyards best explored at dusk. The tapas bar culture in the Triana neighbourhood across the river is the most authentic in the city.
Quand visiter
March through May is ideal — the orange blossom fills the city with scent, the Semana Santa processions are in April, and the Feria de Abril follows two weeks later. October and November are excellent. July and August are extremely hot — 40°C is common and the city empties as residents leave for the coast.
Nova Insider
The best flamenco in Seville is not at a tablao — it is at the peñas flamencas, private flamenco clubs in the Triana and Macarena neighbourhoods that occasionally open their doors to visitors on weekend nights. Ask at the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco in Jerez for recommendations, or simply follow the sound of guitar down a side street after midnight. The performances are for the art, not the audience, and they are incomparably better for it.
