Best Months to Visit Seville
- The months of March and May are the best time to visit Seville. The temperature is mild during these months, tourist traffic isn't as heavy, and hotel rates are typically lower.
- In addition, springtime brings the city's most notable annual festivals, such as Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. Summers in Seville are among the hottest in Europe, with temperatures frequently exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
- This can cause many locals to flee to nearby beach towns, highlighting the abundance of city tourists.
- Temperatures drop in the fall, and tourist crowds thin, but the rainy season begins. Winter brings relatively cooler weather, so many Sevillanos spend more time indoors.

The Best Places to Visit in Seville
La Giralda
- The Giralda is the only surviving structure of a 12th-century mosque that was demolished to make way for the Seville Cathedral.
- The minaret was built with a series of ramps so that guards could ride their horses to the top.
- Today, the 35 ramps allow visitors to quickly ascend to the summit and enjoy panoramic views of the city below.
- The bell tower is topped with El Giraldillo, a bronze weathervane representing faith's triumph.
- The tower's entrance is in the cathedral's northeastern corner.
Alcazar of Seville
- Throughout its more than 1,000-year history, the Alcazar complex of royal palaces, patios, and gardens—still used by Spain's Royal family on official occasions—has undergone numerous changes.
- Muslim Moors built a palace on the site of a 10th-century fort in the 11th century, which was later converted to a Gothic-style structure in the 13th century.
- King Pedro hired Moorish artisans to rebuild and expand the palace in the Mudéjar style a century later.
Seville Cathedral
- Seville's mediaeval cathedral was built on a grand Almohad Mosque site to demonstrate Seville's power and wealth after the Reconquista.
- It was finished in the 16th century and surpassed the Hagia Sophia as the world's largest cathedral.
- It is still Europe's third-largest church and the largest by volume. The massive Gothic structure houses an altarpiece depicting the life of Jesus, which includes over 1,000 gold-leaf-covered figures.
- Descent from the Cross by Pedro de Campaa, Santa Teresa by Francisco de Zurbarán, and La Inmaculada by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo are among the cathedral's artistic treasures.
- The tomb of Christopher Columbus can be found in the church's transept.

Seville Off the Beaten Track
Torre del Oro
- Torre del Oro, or the Golden Tower, is the best structure in Seville for explaining the role of the Guadalquivir River during Spain's colonial period. Seville's success in maritime trade was mainly due to the navigable river, which provided ships with more excellent protection than a traditional European port.
- For centuries, a heavy chain was strung across the river from the tower to protect the city from seafaring invaders.
- The name of the watchtower, which was built in the early 1200s, comes from the golden glow cast on the river by the reflection of its building materials.
- The tower now houses a maritime museum that details the river's significance throughout Seville's history.
- A rooftop viewing platform provides visitors with views of the waterway and the city.
Barrio Santa Cruz
- The Barrio Santa Cruz is located east of the Old City and is bounded by the Guadalquivir River.
- Until the late 1300s, the neighbourhood was Seville's Jewish quarter, when synagogues were closed, homes were confiscated, and thousands of Jews were either killed or forced to convert to Christianity.
- The barrio is a neighbourhood of narrow, cobbled alleys and streets lined with orange trees, colourfully tiled patios, small-scale plazas, and various tapas, bars and restaurants.
- The neighbourhood is ideal for visitors who want to experience the atmosphere of a mediaeval Spanish city because it is not accessible by car.

Seville: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Bull's tail
#Food
- One of the most flavorful dishes you're likely to eat in Seville is stewed Rabo/cola de toro, or bull's tail.
- The tail is cut into thick segments and slow-cooked for hours in red wine, stock, and vegetable sauce (usually onion and carrots, but the recipe varies from place to place).
- The meat has a rich and sultry flavour, with few equals in Spanish cuisine and is so tender that it collapses when it comes into contact with your fork.
- The bars close to Seville's historic bullring are the best places to try this regional speciality because you can eat it in its proper setting while taking in mounted bull heads and walls covered in bullfighting artefacts.
Pork in whiskey
#Food
- The more traditional tapas bars in Seville, especially those in Triana, are known for serving solomillo al whiskey, which was almost certainly the product of a drunken late-night cooking experiment centuries ago.
- For this traditional dish, thin slices of loin are flash-fried in a whiskey reduction, typically with some garlic and olive oil, and served with the customary carb-fest of bread and chips.
- The sauce, as you might expect, has a deliciously sweet kick that brings to life what can be a slightly dull cut of meat.
- At lunchtime, best enjoyed in a noisy, crowded tapas bar with a glass of white wine or sherry.
Flamenquines
#Food
- These decadent, meaty snacks resemble elongated croquetas and are a must-try when visiting the Andalusian capital.
- Flamenquines, or Little Flemishes (more on the ridiculous name in a moment), shouldn't be on this list because they originated in Cordoba - but Seville's tapas bars all put their spin on this Andalusian classic.
- Slices of Iberian cured ham and chunks of goat's cheese (the type of cheese varies, but goat's cheese is the best) are wrapped in pork loin and deep fried.
- This isn't one of Seville's healthiest dishes, but you should ignore that and try it anyway.
El Duque, Sierpes, Tetuán
#Fashion
- The best department stores, jewellers, major national and international retailers, and aesthetic and beauty stores can be found in Seville's historic centre.
- Massive design and art exhibits showcasing last season's trends and styles cover the city's most iconic streets: Calle Sierpes, Calle Tetuán, and Plaza Nueva.
- Along this beautiful pedestrian area is a fantastic selection of cafes, gourmet restaurants, and other eateries.
Lagos shopping centre
#Fashion
- Lagos is south of Seville, Spain's fourth largest city, with a population of 676 million and a larger metropolitan area of 1.5 million people.
- In addition to its fantastic location, the centre faces weak and dispersed competition because Seville lacks any major shopping malls.
- Lagos aims to become the preferred shopping destination for a catchment area of 1.5 million people, with significant potential to top the list in the city's central and southern districts and neighbouring towns to the south.
- In addition to the Los Bermejales residential neighbourhood, the surrounding area includes offices, university buildings, and nearly 9,000 homes under construction, which are expected to increase the catchment area significantly.
Isla Mágica
#Fun
- This theme park is situated on the Isla de la Cartuja, a sizable area along the Guadalquivir River that, as was mentioned earlier, served as the venue for the 1992 Universal Exhibition of Seville.
- Isla Mágica is in the area where the Spanish pavilions were located. It uses some structures built for the remarkable international event distributed around a large lake.
- Isla Mágica has always attempted to carry on the World's Fair: The Age of Discovery theme.
- Most attractions are themed around transoceanic voyages and various Latin American cultures.
- One of the six themed areas on Isla Mágica is Agua Mágica, a water park with some pools and slides.
Auguopolis
#Fun
- A lovely water park is also located to the east of Seville.
- The park is not as large as Agua Mágica (Isla Mágica).
- There is no combination with a thematic amusement park, such as La Isla Mágica, but only pure water fun and cool on hot days!
- In Auguopolis, you'll mostly see Sevillians cooling off in the water.
- This is the location to go if you don't want to encounter tourists. In the same way as Agua Mágica, it is easily accessible by car or bus.

Seville: Natural Beauty & Safari Adventures
- The Guadalquivir river estuary, which has one of the highest levels of biodiversity on the Iberian peninsula, is located 20 kilometres south of Seville and is home to the Brazo del Este.
- This former Guadalquivir branch east of the river is now a reed-fringed lagoon and wetland area surrounded by rice plains and farmland.
- It is an outstanding ornithological site, with over 230 bird species recorded.
- It is noted for having a large population of waterfowl, especially in the winter, and during dry spells, birds from the nearby Doana National Park congregate here.
- Isla Menor, an island formed when the Brazo del Este was cut off from the Guadalquivir river, is included in the protected area.

Seville Must-Attend Festivals and Events
- The Triana patron saint is celebrated on La Vela de Santiago y Santa Ana.
- Historically a very individualistic section of Seville festivals in Spain, Triana takes pride in Santa Ana, even though the church is known as Santa Ana church Triana Cathedral.
- Triana has their Feria when it comes to Saint Anne's festival. This is undoubtedly one of Seville's most famous festivals, being a junior version of the well-known Feria de Abril.
- Partygoers flock to Calle Betis, near the river, where they will eat, drink, and dance for the entire week.
- On the other hand, La Cuca makes this festival stand out. Participants in this performance run onto a riverboat and attempt to climb a greasy pole to grasp a flag at the edge. It's enjoyable to watch people jump into the cool stream.
