Seville Spain
Seville, Spain Mini Guide:
Tips For Your First Visit
After basing myself out of Barcelona for the last few years of my travels, I finally made the quick flight down to see the Spanish city of Seville.
While I was there for a short weekend, I completely fell in love with this southern city of Spain. The culture, the food…
In the future, I will definitely be hosting a Wanderlust Group Trip here. But for now, here are a few tips from my first visit!
1. If you’re coming to Spain, don’t skip Seville!
While there are a lot of beautiful cities in Spain, Seville is definitely my personal favorite. It just has such a different feeling than Madrid or Barcelona.
2. Rent row boats for cheap to explore Plaza de España
3. Seville is considered the birthplace of flamenco dance
4. Definitely see at least one Flamenco show. We went to a less touristy one with a small audience for 25€ that included a drink and we LOVED it.
5. Check out the “underground” flamenco scene: La Carboneria – a free flamenco show in a bar with cheap drinks and snacks, great vibes! Go early to get a spot. The dancers, guitarist and vocalists are fire.
6. Climb up the largest wooden sculpture in the world: Metropol Parasol – also be sure to check it out at night when it’s lit up!
7. Enjoy a hotel rooftop view of the structure Hotel Palace Sevilla
8. Go early to Plaza España to avoid crowds and the heat. Seville heat is no joke.
9. My favorite restaurant: Bar Postiguillo Tapas.
This restaurant really gives the feeling of being in Seville. And the tuna-tartar is insane!!
10. Calle Betis for nightlife, bar hopping, tapas and socializing
11. Use the Fork app for up to 50% off at select restaurants with code: 827BBC50
12. The Flamenco Dance Museum is interactive and also does great shows.
13. Take a free tour of Seville with Rick Steves’ Audio Europe App.
Just select one of the Seville tours, pop in your headphones and the app will walk you through an entire guided tour. You can start and stop at anytime. It also includes clear and easy to follow directions as you walk through Europe’s most fascinating cities. And it’s totally FREE.
Check it out here.
14. Eat when the locals do! Many restaurants won’t open for dinner until 8:30pm
I hope this quick mini-guide helps you on our first visit! In the future, I’ll most certainly be doing a more detailed, in-depth guide.
