The flamenco and the slow Guadalqivir river just add to the charm. Seville Information Center Address: Arjona 28 Tel. +34-95-450 5605 the city | do & see destination: seville The city The Phoenicians arrived in this area first, establishing a number of trade colonies by the river. They also taught the locals how to work with iron, and created a new way of processing gold. The Romans were next, and founded the town of Hispalis a few hundred years B.C. Hispalis grew in to a beautiful and prosperous city, but never managed to emerge from the shadow of nearby Córdoba. The Visigoths transformed Hispalis in to a provincial seat and a centre of learning. In the 11th century the Moors captured the city and renamed it Ishbiliya, but they too chose to make the grander city of Córdoba their capital. They even named it the Córdoba Caliphate. After almost 400 years of civil war battles between Christians and Arabs, the Moors withdrew from their beloved Al-Andalus. Soon after the inhabitants of Seville finally struck gold. When Christopher Columbus discovered a new continent in 1492, the exclusive trade rights were given not to Córdoba, but to Seville. The city quickly became the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan city in Europe, and retained that position for several hundred years. Sam Aronov© do & see Cathedral Santa María de la Sede This is the third-largest cathedral in Europe. It was originally built as a mosque in the 12th century. Its 328 feet high minaret is now the Giralda clock tower. Christopher Columbus is buried inside the cathedral. Museo de Bellas Artes This museum, located in a former convent, has several masterpieces in its collections. Works by Goya, Murillo, Millian and Ribera share the space with modern art exhibitions. Address: Plaza del Museo 9 Today’s Seville is not a world centre, but it is a lively place, well worth exploring. Some of the sights include the Moorish castle of Alcazar, the former upper class neighbourhood of Santa Cruz, the promenades along the Guadalquivir river, the rougher Macarena neighbourhood with its Baroque churches, and the oldest bar in Spain, El Rinconcillo. The city’s gigantic Parque de Maria Luisa is worth visiting, as are the bohemian chic bars in the Alameda de Hércules district. Alcázar It is easy to mistake this for a Moorish palace, but it was built for King Pedro the Cruel in the 1360’s - by Moorish builders. Semana Santa During Easter Seville is transformed into a photographer’s paradise. Processions with the Virgin Mary and Jesus, the Nazarenos asking for penance, and colourful but not necessarily well-tuned orchestras. Make your trip start at home | www.arrivalguide s.com EATING Life in Seville seems to revolve around meals. In other words, there is a huge selection of restaurants, though the selection is not as international as it is in Madrid or Barcelona. The best eateries are traditionally Andalusian, in both ambience and cuisine. The locals eat late and most restaurants start filling up after 22.00. Egaña-Oriza José Mari Egaña is Basque, but serves modern Andalusian cooking. Try the lomos de lubina con salsa de erizos de mar (perch with sea urchin sauce) and solomillo con foie natural y salsa de ciruelas (fillet of beef with foie gras and plumb sauce). Address: Calle San Fernando 41 Tel: +34 (0)95 422 7211 La Albahaca La Albahaca is located by a quaint square in the Santa Cruz part of Seville. The space is decorated with tiles and antique oil paintings, and is very reminiscent of times gone by. The food however is contemporary, Your adventure starts here.

The foie gras in the foie de oca salteado comes with honey vinegar. Address: Plaza Santa Cruz 12, Tel: +34-(0)95-422 0714 Taberna del Alabardero This is the equivalent of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant in London. A place where wayward youths learn to become master chefs and professional waiters. The menu is neo-classical with ingredients from feudal days. For example, the Cordoba soup is served with both quail eggs and jabugo ham. Address: Calle Zaragoza 20, Tel: +34 (0)954 502 721 www.tabernadelalabardero.com Dave Huss© Enrique Becerra Old family-owned Andalusian restaurant – complete with a tiled bar. The kitchen creates refined versions of traditional home cooking. There is the pez espada al amontillado (swordfish with dark sherry) and exquisite side dishes such as espinaca con garbanzos (spinach with chick-peas). Gago and try several of the tapas bars. La Fresquita is a hole-in-thewall type place serving mini toasts with morcilla (blood sausage), and The Bodega Santa Cruz has a tasty tortilla. Bar Giralda in a former Moorish bathhouse is also worth a visit. Address: Calle Gamazo 2 Tel: +34 (0)95 421 3049 Salavador Rojo This upscale restaurant is completely devoid of Andalusian features, except when it comes to the menu. Try the Cantabrian anchovy toast with grilled sweet paprika, or the vegetable soup with onion and ham crème. Address: Calle San Fernando 23 Tel: +34 (0)95 422 9725 Tapas bars The Andalusian region, where Seville is located, is the birthplace of tapas, and there are plenty of great places in the city to enjoy them – both in terms of atmosphere and for the food itself. Visit Calle Mateo Cafés The locals in Seville are particular about their coffee. For example, they only have the café con leche for breakfast, often with a croissant. Mid-day they tend to have either an espresso, a café solo or a cortado, espressos with a drop or two of milk. La Campana This café is an institution in Seville. It’s also a great place for peoplewatching, especially on Saturday afternoons when it seems like the whole city comes here after their shopping sprees to devour pastries like the almond-filled lenguas de almendra. Address: Calle Sierpes 1 Make your trip start at home | www.arrivalguide s.com Chef Chaouen It looks like a tourist trap, but is in fact a good Moroccan restaurant. Your senses will be convinced that you are in a teahouse somewhere in Tangier, or Marrakesh. The menu has herbal teas, including a few that claim to do wonders for the drinker’s libido, milkshakes, liqueurs and Arabian cookies and sweets. Address: Calle Pelay Correa 83 Emperador Trajano This is considered one of Seville’s trendiest cafés. Behind large windows and nestled in the sparse interior are the young fashionconscious citizens of Seville. Have breakfast here and enjoy the rather amusing morning rush. Address: Calle Trajano 10 Bars & nightlife | shopping destination: seville Daniel Gilbey© BARS & NIGHTLIFE Seville is synonymous with nightlife. Especially during the summer when people go out so late that the expression ”early morning life” might be more appropriate. The party areas around Plaza Salvador Alfalfa square don’t even get going until three or four o`clock in the morning. The hippest area right now is Alameda de Hércules. This is where you will find bohemian chic bars such as El Habanilla, Bulebar and Platea, music clubs like Club, and the El Barón Rampante gay bar. Younger visitors might enjoy the Café del Mar where nostalgic Ibiza tunes provide the soundtrack. El Rinconcillo Seville’s oldest bar has been in business since 1670, and the bill is still written in chalk on the bar. They also serve good tapas. Address: Calle Gerona 40 Taberna Los Claveles. This traditional neighbourhood bar is close to El Rinconcillo and serves sherry wines, cañas (small glasses of beer) and simple bocadillos. Address: Calle del Sol 15 Bestiario Funky bar and club that continues to attract a crowd. Address: Calle Zaragoza 33 As a tourist, one should visit a couple of flamenco bars. A good one is La Arenal, at the corner of Pagé de Corro and Antillano Campos. The flamenco performed here is said to be true to its roots, spontaneous, and full of real emotion. Here are a few other bars: Make your trip start at home | www.arrivalguide s.com SHOPPING Seville does not have the shopping of Barcelona or Madrid, but its diverse neighbourhoods still offer some interesting finds. Like many other cities, Seville is a haven for shoe lovers. North of the La Geralda clock tower is Seville’s largest shopping area, centred on Calle Sierpes and Tetuan. In addition to the shoe shops (including Camper and Ziro’s – who sell the Muxart brand) there are proper souvenir shops. Get your high quality shawls, hand fans and Sevilla hats from places like Juan Foronda, on Calle Virgen de los Reyes 3. They will also design a unique flamenco dress for you. The working-class neighbourhood of Triana, on the opposite side of the river, is well known for its ceramics market and tile havens such as Cerámica Santa Ana on Calle San Jorge 31. Over on Calle Rodrigo de Triana is La Casa del Cofrade, a must for every visitor to Seville. They create the traditional Nazareno robes worn during the Semana Santa. For more shoes, visit Calzados Mary Paz on Avenida Santa Cecilia 23. The Alfalfa district is where the unholy alliance of antiques stores and trendy galleries is found. There are also a handful of noteworthy fashion shops here, like Purificacion Garcia on Calle Rioja 13, and Homeless on Calle O’Donnell 16. sleeping | essential information destination: seville SLEEPING EXCLUSIVE Alfonso XIII This hotel was built for the 1929 Ibero-American exhibition and named after the king.
