Nestled between Seville’s Casco Antiguo (the Old Town) and San Bernardo, around the corner from the city’s iconic Cathedral and the Reales Alcázares, this home is ideally positioned among some of the many highlights that make the Andalusian capital so special.
Among the many highlights is the Museum of Fine Art (reachable in around 30 minutes on foot), where visitors can admire beautiful works from Spanish and global artists, and the sprawling Parque de María Luisa, Seville’s largest green area, again located around a half hour walk away. Or why not take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Guadalquivir riverside? Once a bustling trade route, the area has become a popular hangout for locals and visitors alike, leading to the verdant oasis of the Jardines del Guadalquivir.
Casco Antiguo, also known as the Old Town of Seville, is an enthralling area on the east bank of the Guadalquivir River, encompassing distinct neighbourhoods, each with unique characteristics. Among these, Barrio Santa Cruz stands out with its narrow streets and picturesque squares enlivened by fountains, orange trees, and vibrant tapas bars—a must-visit during your stay in this home. Formerly the Jewish Quarter, Barrio Santa Cruz boasts significant landmarks, including the grand Gothic Cathedral of Seville with its famous Moorish bell tower, La Giralda, as well as the opulent Real Alcázar Moorish fortress and palace. For something different, delve into the captivating history of flamenco dance at the Museo del Baile Flamenco, a fascinating museum and theatre.
Just north of Barrio Santa Cruz lies Barrio Alfalfa, a labyrinth of narrow alleys, lively squares, and iconic sites. The central hub, Plaza Alfalfa, is surrounded by popular cafes and restaurants. Don’t miss the Plaza del Pan, with its wealth of independent shops, Plaza de la Pescadería, which boasts ample open space, or Plaza del Cristo de Burgos, known for its lush greenery. The stunning Casa de Pilatos, an elaborate Mudéjar-style Andalusian palace, adds to the area’s allure. Then there’s the trendy Soho Benita, home to a collection of independent shops, boutiques, bars, and hotels that attract Seville’s trendy and cosmopolitan crowd.
For those in search of delectable flavours, both San Bernardo and Casco Antiguo boast a plethora of dining and drinking options, with the vibrant tapas scene taking centre stage. Numerous traditional and innovative tapas bars beckon, offering the chance to experience Southern Spain’s laid-back, alfresco dining culture. From traditional Andalusian dishes to international fusion flavours, there truly is something to satisfy every palate. Embrace the versatile dining style of tapas and savour local delicacies like gazpacho, salmorejo, pescaíto frito (fried fish), and the famous Seville oranges, adding a zesty touch of refreshment to hot days.
While staying in the area, take advantage of the opportunity to visit the striking Metropol Parasol, the world’s largest wooden structure that boasts panoramic views of the city. For visual delights of a different kind, the Museo de Bellas Artes, housed in a former monastery, showcases works from prominent Sevillian artists like Murillo and Vazquez.
As the capital of Andalusia, Seville’s rich history, influenced by Roman, Moorish, and Christian heritage, reveals itself through its architectural marvels. The striking Plaza de España and the unmissable Alcázar of Seville, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stand as testaments to the city’s past. At the same time, the Gothic cathedral, the third largest in the world, holds the tomb of Christopher Columbus, underscoring the city’s link to the pioneering voyages that unveiled the New World.
As one might expect in a city as culturally rich and diverse as Seville, the yearly calendar is brimming with festivals. Among the most popular are the Feria de Abril and Semana Santa (Holy Week), each showcasing the city’s lively spirit and deeply rooted traditions while offering an experience that blends history, culture, and gastronomical delights, making Seville an unforgettable year-round destination for all who visit.
