Seville has a special color! And how true it is. The Seville capital is one of the jewels of our geography, one of the best cities to visit and, without a doubt, an exquisite enclave in which to find restaurants to eat without breaking the bank and where to discover amazing places like the nine that we leave you with. continuation.
Thus, in the same way that we have done with other cities such as Palencia, Soria, Teruel, Cuenca, Melilla or Logroño, to name a few, it is time to see those essentials that cannot be missing on our route to say that we know Seville well. Of course, there is much, much more to discover in this marvelous place.
The Giralda
One of the symbols of the great Seville is, without a doubt, La Giralda and which is nothing more than the bell tower of its wonderful cathedral which is a magnificent example of Gothic declared in 1987 by UNESCO a World Heritage Site and later an Asset of Exceptional Universal Value. Gazing in awe looking at the Giralda and, consequently, the ensemble of which it is a part, is something incomparable.
The golden tower
Another of the symbols of Seville that we find on the banks of the Guadalquivir and next to the Real Maestranza bullring, is the Torre del Oro, which receives its name precisely because of the golden reflections produced by the tiles that covered it in its time. We cannot miss the photo, things as they are.
Spain Square
Although if we talk about typical photos, the one from our province in the Spain Square It is a classic. But it is much more because it is a spectacle of light and majesty designed by the Sevillian architect Aníbal González as an emblematic space for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The result was a unique square-palace in the world. Its proportions are incredible and it leaves everyone who arrives for the first time speechless.
Maria Luisa Park
And if we go to Plaza España we have to take a walk through the María Luisa Park, which is a most ideal urban park. Formerly they were private gardens of the Palace of San Telmo, but in the s. XIX were donated by the Infanta María Luisa Fernanda de Borbón to the city, to be reformed later and become that idyllic place inspired by the gardens of the Generalife, the Alhambra and the Alcázares of Seville.
Triana neighborhood
Here we no longer go to corners but to entire neighborhoods. And it is that the Triana neighborhood is probably the most special neighborhood in Seville, famous for its history, its idiosyncrasies and its meaning in which it is worth getting lost and being inspired by its beauty.
Royal Alcazar
A few meters from the Cathedral, we have the Royal Alcazar of Seville which is a palace of palaces, the only one in the world that since the High Middle Ages has served as a residence for kings of different eras, leaving in each case their architectural legacy, being an extraordinary mixture of Arab and Christian art. It’s just amazing.
Indies Archive
Of course, do not believe that the Archivo de Indias is also a World Heritage Site. It was created in 1785 at the wish of King Carlos III, with the aim of centralizing in a single place the documentation referring to the administration of the Spanish colonies until then dispersed in various archives and, to this day, it preserves some 43,000 files, with some 80 million pages and 8,000 maps and drawings that come mainly from the metropolitan organizations in charge of the administration of the colonies.
Metropol Parasol
If we tell you Metropol Parasol it doesn’t ring a bell, but if we tell you the Seville mushroomsthere yes, yes. We find them located in the central Plaza de la Encarnación and have become a landmark in the city.
Santa Cruz neighborhood
And since we are here, another little walk through the Barrio de Santa Cruz, its narrow streets full of charm cannot be missed.
And if you are looking for accommodation on your own, we recommend the luxury apartments Aquitania Home Suites in Seville, which are a perfect option if we are looking for autonomy and living the city at our own pace and without schedules.
