Seville

Seville is full of amazing architecture. Plaza de Espana has been completely renovated as it was badly neglected in the past. With beautiful bridges and gondolas, this place is magical. Alcazar is a medieval Islamic palace, surrounded by amazingly luscious gardens-very peaceful and relaxing to wonder through. If you’re looking for a little taste of flamenco, Casa de la Memoria de Al-Andalus is one of the most authentic and intimate flamenco bars you will find. Vinería San Telmo also has great tapas.

La Carbonería may seem pretty dead during the day, but at night it goes off with live music and traditional dancing. The Cathedral and Giralda is an amazing site from the 12th century. Parque de María Luisa is also amazing. Very quiet, which means it’s a lovely place for a mini nap if you’re feeling a bit tired for your adventures. If that’s not enough culture for you, Semana Santa and Conjunto Monumental de la Cartuja are two spectacular churches. The detailed architecture around the whole city is quite unbelievable! As well as Ronda and Pamplona, Seville is also known for its bullfighting, so if you have a chance to check that out take it as an advantage.

Seville is full of small bars. You can visit five very different bars without even leaving the street. The main areas are; Alfalfa, where Pérez Galdós gets so packed with people on Friday and Saturday nights that cars can't drive down it; Alameda, which has a more alternative scene, with lots of gay bars and clubs; and calle Betis by the river in Triana, which is wall-to-wall with venues, from quiet bars to all-night clubs.
