Where to, today?
Pick one thing you really want to see, and let everything else find you on the way.
Triana
The other side of the river: potters, sailors, flamenco, and a neighborhood very sure of itself.
Right now Tapas crawls, terraces along Betis, flamenco in back rooms. The bridge is lit and the river carries the noise.
The Cathedral and the Giralda
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, and the minaret-turned-belfry the whole city is measured against.
Right now Evening Mass and bells, then the floodlights. People sit on the steps eating ice cream, even in November.
The Real Alcázar
The oldest royal palace still in use in Europe: thresholds, water, carved plaster, and peacocks.
Right now The gates are shut. The crenellated walls are lit from below, and the palace is a locked mystery behind them. The Patio de Banderas next door is quiet, orange trees…
Plaza de España
The famous brick embrace: towers, a canal with rowboats, and a tiled alcove for every province.
Right now Lit up and nearly empty. The canal is black and still, and every footstep echoes off the brick.
Las Setas
A gigantic wooden canopy over the old city: Roman ruins below, a market, and a rooftop walk above.
Right now The light show is playing across the canopy. The plaza is lit from below and the bars are full.
Alameda de Hércules
Seville's bohemian heart: Roman columns, terraces, music from metal to flamenco, and everyone welcome.
Right now Full voltage. Venues open, crowds between the columns, every kind of music, everyone welcome.
