Seville is a southern Spanish city defined by its 16th-century Alcázar palace complex and the meandering Guadalquivir River.
Spring brings the annual Feria de Abril, where casetas fill the Barrio de Los Remedios with local flamenco and traditional attire. In autumn, the city’s orange trees still scent the air as you walk through the narrow streets of Santa Cruz neighborhood, punctuated by tiled courtyards and baroque churches.
Alcázar Gardens
Visit the Alcázar’s Mudéjar gardens early morning to avoid crowds and see the detailed tilework and fountains at their calmest.
Semana Santa
Attend processions during Semana Santa in April to observe the wooden floats and brotherhoods dressed in traditional robes.
Triana Tapas
Sample fried fish at bars along Calle Betis in the Triana district, known locally as a working-class neighborhood with enduring traditions.
