Seville

Seville is both a modern metropolis and a place where time stands still – holidays to Seville offer a banquet of historic architecture and things to see. The gothic cathedral is a must see and right next to it stands a stunning minaret, the only remaining piece of the grand mosque that once stood here. The Royal Alcázar Palace blends Moorish and Renaissance influences into one of Seville’s top sights. Tour its elegant courtyards and elaborate manicured gardens – it’s been made even more famous as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

Visit Seville for its intriguing neighbourhoods too. Take some time during your Seville holidays to visit the old Jewish quarter of Santa Cruz and the gypsy quarter of Triana. Charming little lanes, unique eateries, around each corner a new discovery – the perfect compliment to these historic barrios is a visit to the distinctively modern sight of Las Setas (The Mushrooms), the largest wooden structure in the world. This is a great place to take in the city skyline, especially at sunset.

Your holidays to Seville mean great food too. Tapas is a local specialty and don’t forget to sample the local wines – manzanilla, a dry sherry, is an authentic Seville favourite. For another famous filming location – this time for Star Wars – head to the Plaza de Espana.
