Cathedral Seville's immense cathedral,
one of the biggest in the world, was built on the
site of Muslim Seville's main mosque
between 1401 and 1507. One highlight of the
cathedral's lavish interior is Christopher
Columbus' supposed tomb inside the south door.
Giralda The tower which adjoins the
Cathedral is La Giralda. It was the mosque's
minaret and dates from the 12th century
climb up for great views. Use the same ticket as
for the Cathedral. Torre de Oro
On the banks of the River Guadalquivir stands the
Torre de Oro which today represents one of
Seville's major landmarks. It was originally
built by the Moors as a way to close access
to the harbour by attaching a chain to it and to
the opposite bank of the river.   Alcázar
This was a fortress from the Muslim-era
(dates from AD 913) which served as a
hideout of Muslim and Christian royalty for many
centuries.

• Plaza de España
• This is one of the countrys most spectacular
  Plazas de España which was the centrepiece of the
  1929 Spanish-Americas Fair. It containing
  fountains and mini-canals and is surrounded by a
  display of tile work representing all the
  provinces of Spain. If you need a break from the
  city head into the tranquillity of the adjoining
  Parque de María Luisa which is only a 10 minute
  walk east of the Cathedral.
• Antigua Fábrica de Tabacos
• On the way to the Plaza de España you will the
  citys old tobacco factory which was the setting
  for Bizets Carmen. Today it is a part of Seville
  University, and is open to the public during
  daylight hours.
• Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza Sevilles
  Bullring
• Its well worth a visit to Seville's bullring
  which is one of the oldest (1758) and most famous
  in Spain. Short guided tour is compulsory.
• Archivo de Indias
• Since 1785, this building on the west side of
  Plaza del Triunfo has been the main archive of
  Spain's American empire. Its endless shelves hold
  more than 80 million pages of documents dating
  from 1492 through to the end of the empire in the
  19th century.

If you like traditional Hispanic culture, then
Seville wont disappoint. Peppery hams hang from
every ceiling, manzanilla is downed heartily, and
the winding back streets are alive with the
ghosts of bullfighters, gypsies and flamenco
dancers, Carmen and Don Juan. Seville serves up
old-style flamboyance with southern conviviality.
There are enough sights in Seville to wear down
the most ardent ruin-watcher and church-spotter.
Before getting into the details, take a stroll
along the banks of the Guadalquivir river to get
a feel for the city. Its bigger than you might
think, and the river is one of the few places
where you are free from the heave of cars and
people. En route youll pass the Torre de Oro,
the Maestranza bull ring, several grand bridges
and a string of inviting green spaces. Head
north into town from the river and you hit the
pretty María Luisa park, built for the 1929
Ibero-American fair, as was the adjacent Plaza de
España, a fan-shaped swathe of majestic buildings
fronted by water features and clad in a
stupendous riot of tiles illustrating Spains 40
provinces. It may look cheesy, but a slow trot on
one of the horse-drawn sulkies parked up at the
Plaza is the nicest ride in town. .

• Beyond the grand university buildings,
  formerly the tobacco factory where Carmen was
  employed, lie the gardens of the fabulous Alcázar
  (Patio de Banderas, 954 502 324, closed Mon). The
  origins of this fortress palace go back to the
  eighth century, but the finest parts were built
  for Pedro the Cruel who installed himself here in
  the 1360s. While his unfortunate wife was locked
  in the basement, he cavorted with his mistress in
  a sublime oasis of gardens, cool marble patios
  and ornate craftsmanship. The wooden ceiling of
  the Salón de Embajadores dripping with gilded
  stalactites over a room encrusted with virtuoso
  plasterwork and tiling is equally impressive.
  The Alcázars eastern walls overlook Santa Cruz,
  whose tiny, whitewashed streets are crammed with
  churches, melancholic guitarists and dusty old
  tapas bars.
• Next door is the great hulk of the
  cathedral, the largest in the world in terms of
  volume. Inside are great chains hanging from the
  ceiling and flying buttresses supporting the
  tonnes of stonework. Dont miss the Giralda, a
  minaret that has become the symbol of Seville
  along with the orange tree patio, it is one of
  the few visible remains of the mosque that
  originally occupied this site. For the best views
  of the city, climb up its 40 floors of gently
  sloping ramps, built so that the muezzin could
  ride his horse to the top, from where he called
  the faithful to prayer.

• .5) MOORISH TILES
• If you're wondering where to pocket the
  intricately designed ceramic tiles that blanket a
  good portion of the city, head to Triana, the old
  Gypsy enclave on the left side of the
  Guadalquivir river. Its streets are lined with
  ceramics shops, often with their wares displayed
  flamboyantly on the facade. has a factory
  attached to its showroom and an impressive
  selection of hand-painted sinks, dishes and tiles
  ranging from simple geometric Moorish patterns to
  styles with saints and royal coats of arms.
• 6) RIVER TAPAS
• The afternoon Iberian sun is scorching, so it's
  no surprise that the food seems to be engineered
  for staying cool. Lbar goes further with
  tree-shaded tables along the breezy banks of the
  Guadalquivir. Start with a pitcher of vino de
  verano and then have the gazpacho Andaluz, served
  in a wineglass with ice and garnished with fresh
  green peppers, tomatoes and onions. The cucumber
  salad and chorizo Ibérica also has a cooling
  effect. Lunch for two with wine is a minimum of
  20 euros.
• 7) FLAMENCO 101
• Follow the flamenco acolytes with their
  slicked-back hair buns and clicking castanets to
  the 18th-century mansion. The year-old museum,
  run by the renowned dancer Cristina Hoyos, is an
  obsessive homage to the art form, with three
  floors of high-tech exhibits, archival photos and
  costume displays. Best of all, you can sit in the
  patio to spy on the dance classes and pick up
  some moves.

• 8) EL BULLI LITE
• The celebrity chef Ferran Adrià of El Bulli fame
  has a lesser-known outpost about 25 minutes by
  taxi from the city center. Tucked inside the
  gates of the very luxurious hotel,the restaurant
  presents elegant dinner theater with servers,
  dressed like French maids, trotting foamed and
  molecular creations with white gloves. For the
  full effect, try the tasting menu a procession
  of 24 small plates including gin fizz frozen
  warm, candied quail egg and, my favorite,
  olives soup with spherical olives. Dinner for
  two with wine is 296 euros.
• 9) NEW NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT
• Looking for the city's young trendsetters? In
  the last five years, they've set up in Alameda de
  Hércules, an area just north of Seville's center.
  Head to the yellow-brick plaza anchored by a
  towering statue of Hercules to find artists,
  musicians and students thronging the dozens of
  newly opened bars and cafes, which are more
  likely to be blaring reggaetón than flamenco.
  Among the more popular are Taberna del Corto
  Maltés (Alameda de Hércules ) with its airy
  ceilings and circular Moorish-tiled bar, and the
  pocket-sized Sala la Caja Negra (Calle de Fresa
  15), a smoky live music site that is the nexus of
  the city's neo-rock scene.

  I fb too. I use the same alias everywhere and it
  isn't really an alias. In the days before the
  blog I used to shout at the radio and that made
  my children think I was mad. Now I blog and they
  still think I'm mad - but in a more modern way

  enjoy both writing and reading other blogs. Good
  feedback from my customers encouraged me.
