Holidays in Seville, Spain

The capital of the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, Seville is one of the country’s most beautiful. With different historic buildings down every street of the sun-drenched city, enough tapas bars for a lifetime of eating, and flamenco shows never too far away, you’ll struggle to find anywhere else in the South of Spain with as much to offer as Seville.

The city’s cathedral – the largest gothic cathedral in the world – is certainly one of Seville’s biggest draws with its iconic bell tower providing spectacular views over the city. However, the Royal Alcázar Palace is also a must-visit monument for art enthusiasts, as it displays some of the finest examples of Mudéjar architecture in existence. Meanwhile, Seville’s bullring may not be for everyone, but its brilliant museum is a fantastic way to delve into the history of the controversial sport.

When it comes to food in Seville, it’s all about tapas. Explore the city’s quieter streets and the bohemian neighbourhood of Triana to find some of the most traditional and affordable tapas bars in the whole of Spain, with local specialities including stewed bull’s tail.
