Seville: The Crown Jewel of Andalusia
Tours to Seville
Visit the Royal Alcázar of Seville
The Royal Alcázar is a masterpiece of Mudéjar architecture and one of the oldest royal palaces still in use. Wander through its ornate halls and courtyards, such as the Patio de las Doncellas with its stunning reflective pool. The lush gardens, filled with fountains, orange trees, and peacocks, are perfect for a peaceful stroll. History buffs will appreciate the blend of Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles that tell the story of Seville’s cultural evolution. Fans of Game of Thrones will also recognize the Alcázar as the filming location for the Water Gardens of Dorne.
Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, is awe-inspiring both in size and detail. Step inside to marvel at its massive altarpiece, depicting scenes from the life of Christ, and the stunning stained-glass windows. Don’t miss the tomb of Christopher Columbus, guarded by four allegorical figures. After exploring the cathedral, climb the Giralda Tower via its unique ramps (designed so horses could ascend) for breathtaking views of the city’s rooftops, bridges, and landmarks.
Stroll Through Plaza de España
The Plaza de España is a grand semicircular architectural marvel with a central canal, colorful ceramic tiles, and bridges that symbolize Spain’s provinces. It’s a great spot for photos, a relaxing rowboat ride, or simply soaking in the grandeur. Adjacent to the plaza is Maria Luisa Park, a verdant oasis in the heart of the city. Enjoy the shade of its trees, explore hidden fountains, or watch locals jog and cycle. The park is also home to pavilions from the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, making it a blend of natural beauty and historical charm.
Experience a Flamenco Show
Seville is considered the birthplace of flamenco, and attending a live performance is an essential cultural experience. Visit an intimate tablao, such as Casa de la Memoria or El Arenal, to witness the passionate interplay of guitar, singing, and dance. Each performance tells a story of emotion and tradition, deeply rooted in Andalusian history. You can also explore the Museo del Baile Flamenco to learn more about this iconic art form before catching a show.

This former Jewish Quarter is a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, charming courtyards, and whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flowers. Visit quaint plazas like Plaza de Doña Elvira and Plaza Santa Cruz, each offering a serene escape from the city’s bustle.
