Send

Seville It has a special color ... Well, yes, it does. We recognize that we have pulled a topic, but there is no doubt that the capital of Andalusia is peculiar, has a very defined personality and gives off art for its four costs. In addition, Seville has perfect proposals for all audiences. Spend a few days because it does not disappoint! At the moment we tell you the 25 main things to see and do in Seville.

1. As we always recommend, the first thing you should do in Seville is to sign up for a free tour to begin to know the main corners of the city. Remember to leave a tip to the guide, who surely deserves it. Here you have one.

2. Visit the Real Alcazar, a palace -of the oldest in the world, dates from the eleventh century-, with rooms that could well be the decoration of The Thousand and One Nights. Its rooms witnessed the passage of different cultures, so the Arab, Mudejar, Gothic and Baroque architectural samples are not lacking. Come on, it's a pa-sa-da! Admission is € 11.50, free for the last Monday visit. More info and reservations. If you prefer to take a guided tour to learn every detail of the place, you can take a look at this.

3. Once here you cannot forget to visit the Gardens of the Real Alcazar. Pay special attention to the Mercury pond, the Dance garden and the Damas garden. And eye, if you are a fan of Game of Thrones, you have one more reason to come: in the Real Alcazar and its gardens the scenes of Dorne (place of the Martell House) were shot.

4. Another emblem of Seville is its Cathedral. It is one of the most spectacular Gothic cathedrals in Europe (and the world, of course). And he has a surprise: you can see the remains of Christopher Columbus. If you want to buy the ticket without a queue (with a climb to the Giralda) you can do it in advance here.

5. A trip to Seville is not quite perfect if you don't make a tour of Triana, its most authentic and flamenco neighborhood.

6. Approach to Ricardo House and try their legendary croquettes. It is located on Hernán Cortés street, 2.

7. To digest croquettes nothing better than climb the Giralda. From there, the views are the best. The € 9 entry is joint to visit the Cathedral (free on Mondays from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.). More info.

If you plan to visit the Real Alcazar, the Cathedral and the Giralda, we recommend this super-valued tour, which in addition to the guide includes skip-the-line tickets.

8. Do you want a trick to get another instagram-proof photo? Go up to the Terrace of the English Court of Pl. del Duque At sunset, the panorama is magical.

9. It freaks a lot when you get to Spain Square. For us it is possibly the most beautiful square in the country. There you can see the banks and tiles of 48 Spanish provinces. It was built for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929 and Alfonso XIII himself when he saw it declared "Gentlemen, I knew this was beautiful ... But not so much."

10. Take a walk on the banks of the Guadalquivir until the tower of Gold, better at sunset. We warn you: do not expect to see gold, the tower is named for the golden reflection that projects in the river. Although there are other theories about his name: it was a tower where gold stores were located, or also that it was the entry point of gold that came from the New World. Entrance to the Tower costs € 3 (free on Mondays).

11. Another option to contemplate it from another point of view, is to make a small cruise through the Guadalquivir. They are not expensive! This, for example, costs € 17.

12. Seville is synonymous with flamenco, take advantage of your visit to attend a show on a flamenco stage, it is sure to be remembered. Here you have an interesting option.

13. If you are an architecture lover, Seville will be your paradise. Some of the most beautiful buildings are: Town Hall (seat of City Hall), the San Telmo Palace, the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija, the Pilate's House, the Palace of the Dueñas, the Alfonso XIII Hotel, the Five Wounds Hospital and the Royal Tobacco Factory.

14. And what about the Metropol Parasol (also known as "mushrooms")? There are those who believe that it is a horror others who find it very interesting. We are in this second group. It is a building that breaks with the classic Sevillian style and gives the city a modernillo touch. But we like it above all because of the views from its viewpoint. It costs € 3.

15. And after so much trajín do you want to relax and rest for a while? Approach the Maria Luisa Park, the green lung of the city.

16. If at any time during your visit to Seville the neighborhood of La Macarena catches you nearby, approach the Basilica of the Macarena, one of the most important religious temples in the city, and that has a special charm.

18. Use your little feet to tour Seville! Do not commit the tourist If you take a buggy ride through Seville, don't contribute to the animal business.

19. Get lost by him Santa Cruz neighborhood, one of the most beautiful corners of Seville. With its cobbled streets, its small squares and of course, its taverns.
