Admire the tiles at Plaza de Espa\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seville has plenty of spectacular buildings and landmarks, but the Plaza de Espa\u00f1a might be its undisputed crown jewel. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Expo, this semi-circular town square is a celebration of Spanish craftsmanship. The buildings mix Renaissance grandeur with Moorish detail, all brightened by a wrap of Andalusian tilework and ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Travel Director Maddy, it\u2019s her favourite place in the city: \u201cI especially like it in the late afternoon when the sun is starting to set. The sky is painted in cotton candy colors, the temperatures are going down a bit and people are just enjoying the atmosphere and vibe in that place. There are often people playing music, selling art or little trinkets and sometimes you can even catch some locals dancing Flamenco. It\u2019s wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/plaza-espana-maddy-travel-director-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Director Maddy at Plaza de Espana in Seville sitting on the tiled bench that says Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-886535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/plaza-espana-maddy-travel-director-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/plaza-espana-maddy-travel-director-330x221.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/plaza-espana-maddy-travel-director-1536x1029.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/plaza-espana-maddy-travel-director.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Find your home province (or your next destination), take a seat on the cool tiles, and watch the world go by.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tf__box horizontal tour-cta\" style=\"height:100%\" data-module-name=\"Trafalgar Unlocked Awards 2024\">\n    <div class=\"tf__box-hero\">\n        <div style=\"background: url(https:\/\/content1.travcorpservices.com\/media\/kmlhq5uq\/spanish-wonder-guided-tour-dancer.jpg?width=1300&#038;height=1300&#038;mode=crop) no-repeat center center \/ cover;\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"tf__box_container\" style=\"background-color: #CFD3C4;\">\n        <div class=\"tf__box_title\" style=\"color: #4B6B35\">\n            <span class=\"tf__box_title-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa fa-suitcase\"><\/i><\/span>\n            <span class=\"tf__box_title-text\">Go on tour<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"tf__box_content\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/spanish-wonder\" data-item-type=\"navigation\" data-item-name=\"View Trip\">\n            <p class=\"box-header\" style=\"max-width: none;\">Spanish Wonder<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br>\n            \n                <button class=\"tf__button\" style=\"background-color:#4B6B35\">View Trip<\/button>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-fall-into-the-rhythm-of-the-city\">2.

It was built on the site of a 12th-century mosque, and the scale is intentionally overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the church is plenty of treasure \u2013 you\u2019ll find the monumental tomb of Christopher Columbus and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catedraldesevilla.es\/en\/the-cathedral\/building\/the-giralda\/\">Giralda<\/a> (the minaret-turned-bell-tower). Instead of stairs, climb 34 sloping ramps to the top \u2013 originally designed so the guards could ride their horses to the summit! The workout rewards you with a panoramic view of the city\u2019s terracotta rooftops and the sprawling Real Alc\u00e1zar gardens next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-step-into-the-real-alcazar\">4.

It\u2019s famous now as a filming location \u2013 featured as the&nbsp;beautiful kingdom of Dorne in <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> \u2013 but its history is far more prestigious than any television script! Originally a 10th-century fortress, it has evolved over 1,000 years into a patchwork of styles that reflect the city&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost people visit the Royal Alcazar when in Seville as it is a beautiful Moorish palace with wonderfully curated gardens and stunning tile art in the rooms, but not many people know though that it is the oldest royal palace that is still in use,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is one of the residences of the Spanish Royal family. That means when the Royal Family is coming to visit the city they still stay in that palace \u2013 not in the rooms that we can visit on our tours but in quarters in a different part of the palace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tf__box horizontal tour-cta\" style=\"height:100%\" data-module-name=\"Trafalgar Unlocked Awards 2024\">\n    <div class=\"tf__box-hero\">\n        <div style=\"background: url(https:\/\/content1.travcorpservices.com\/media\/13505\/great-iberian-cities-guided-tour.jpg?width=1300&#038;height=1300&#038;mode=crop) no-repeat center center \/ cover;\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"tf__box_container\" style=\"background-color: #CFD3C4;\">\n        <div class=\"tf__box_title\" style=\"color: #4B6B35\">\n            <span class=\"tf__box_title-icon\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa fa-suitcase\"><\/i><\/span>\n            <span class=\"tf__box_title-text\">Go on tour<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"tf__box_content\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/great-iberian-cities\" data-item-type=\"navigation\" data-item-name=\"View Trip\">\n            <p class=\"box-header\" style=\"max-width: none;\">Great Iberian Cities<\/p>\n\t\t\t<br>\n            \n                <button class=\"tf__button\" style=\"background-color:#4B6B35\">View Trip<\/button>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-lost-in-barrio-santa-cruz\">5.

Maddy suggests joining a walking tour here as the perfect antidote to the typical tourist traps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing that is often a little over hyped is the boat tour on the Guadalquivir River,\u201d she says. \u201cIn the summer the boat tour is a wonderful opportunity to cool down a little bit but the majority of the main attractions in Sevilla are not close or even visible from the boat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead, do a walking tour through the Santa Cruz neighborhood to learn a bit more about the old town of Sevilla.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>READ NEXT: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/spain-in-september\/\"><strong><em>Spain in September: Weather, Reasons to Visit &amp; Things To Do<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-go-on-a-tapas-crawl-like-a-local\">6.

She knows that walking into a crowded tapas bar is intimidating, so has a few Travel Director tips for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen there is no table available, you can always take a place at the bar. Once you have a spot, try to find out if they do table service or if you have to order at the bar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of them have a long list of tapas, which can be sold as <em>raciones<\/em> (a bigger portion) or just a <em>tapa<\/em> (a smaller portion). If you are unsure about what to order, you can always as the waiters about their recommendations as most bars have at least one or two things that they specialize in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough most people will end up eating a few tapas, I usually recommend ordering one or two at the beginning to get an idea of the portion sizes and what kind of tapas you like. You might just see the waiters bring something to another table that looks just amazing, so you can order it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tapas-spain-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-886532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tapas-spain-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tapas-spain-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tapas-spain-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tapas-spain.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t forget \u2013 the Spaniards eat a lot later then most others, so tapas bars are usually packed between 1 and 3 pm for lunch and 8 and 10 pm for dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwo bars that I really like are <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/6v6zA9vc5nsbvVLE8\">Bodega Santa Cruz<\/a>, close to the cathedral and <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Q49tmVR6Zp73n2649\">Bar Santa Ana<\/a> in Triana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-cross-the-puente-de-isabel-ii-to-triana\">7.

It\u2019s located just across the river from the old town and home to some of the best Flamenco shows, fantastic tapas bars and cute little streets that are sometimes lined with flags or decorations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTriana also has a market hall that is filled with stalls showcasing local delicacies from <em>jamon<\/em> to olives, cheese and fruits.

Even in the more popular venues, the sheer technical mastery required takes an enormous amount of skill, so whether you\u2019re in a polished theater or a tiny, sweat-soaked tablao, you\u2019ll feel the rhythms and emotion of every lyric despite any language barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-visit-in-spring-during-feria-de-abril-or-semana-santa\">10.

Semana Santa (Holy Week) is somber and grand, but the Feria de Abril is pure celebration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maddy recalls her first visit as a favorite memory: \u201cThe Feria is such a cool experience, with girls dressing up in their stunning dresses, people riding through the town in their horse carriages, the <em>casetas<\/em> (tents) being filled with people enjoying drinks, food and music. It\u2019s an incredible time to be in Seville and experience a super authentic atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-walk-the-mushrooms-at-sunset-metropol-parasol\">11.

It\u2019s a bold, modern contrast to Seville\u2019s ancient skyline yet somehow works with the surrounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Roman ruins in the basement are fascinating, the real draw is the winding walkway on the roof. As the sun dips, the honeycomb grid glows and offers a 360-degree view across Seville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seville-faqs\">Seville FAQs:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-is-seville\">Where is Seville?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seville is the sun-drenched capital of Andalusia, located in southwest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/destinations\/europe\/spain\">Spain<\/a>.
