Seville Holiday Homes

1. Barrio Santa Cruz

Formerly the Jewish Quarter of Seville during medieval times, Barrio Santa Cruz is the most charming neighbourhood in the city. A maze of ancient streets leads to pretty plazas – our favourites are Plaza de doña Elvira or Plaza de Santa Cruz, where you can admire gorgeous Moorish architecture. You’ll also find many of the city’s top attractions here, such as Catedral de Sevilla and the Royal Alcázar.

2. Triana

The historic neighbourhood of Triana has a very distinct character, and is known for its ceramics, flamenco dancing and lively markets. Its most popular attraction is the Triana Bridge which boasts scenic views of the city. Running along the river is Calle Betis, lined with colourful buildings, shaded trees and alfresco bars where you can enjoy a glass of wine with a side of river views.

3. El Arenal

On the banks of the Guadalquivir River is El Arenal, Seville’s former port area. It’s more residential, offering a more peaceful experience. Make the most of your surroundings with a boat tour down the river where you can find out how it played an important role in Seville’s history. Don’t forget to bring your camera as you’ll cruise past some of Seville’s most iconic landmarks like the Torre del Oro and the Maestranza Bullring, as well as beautiful bridges that span the river.

4. Los Remedios

Searching for peace and quiet but with easy access to Seville’s pulsing centre? Los Remedios is a mostly residential area with wide boulevards, elegant buildings and pretty gardens. It’s home to Parque de los Príncipes, a huge park complete with stunning gardens, a lake and a children’s playground. Los Remedios is also where the Feria de Abril (April Fair) takes place, so if you’re here for the festivities, then this is the place to be.

Attend a flamenco show Flamenco is one of Seville’s most famous customs. Originating between the 9th and 14th centuries, this traditional music, song and dance form blends influences from Moorish, Jewish and Romani cultures. Characterised by intense footwork, hand clapping and passionate expressions, no visit would be complete without experiencing a show. Some of the most well-known venues include Tablao El Arenal, Casa de la Memoria, and El Patio Sevillano.

Explore museums and galleries Seville has a museum and gallery for everyone, whether you’re interested in classic art or science. Learn more about flamenco at the Museo del Baile Flamenco, or check out traditional Andalusian fashion at the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares. Prefer historical ruins instead? Marvel at Roman remains at the Museo Antiquarium. For art enthusiasts, the Museum of Fine Arts (Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla) has one of the most important art collections in the whole of Spain, with a focus on Sevillan and Spanish art between the medieval period and the 20th century.

Attend a market Get a taste of local life with a trip to Seville’s bustling markets. Mercado de Feria is one of the city’s oldest and most popular markets, where you can browse the stalls of fresh produce and snack on traditional dishes like fish, paella and arepa. Mercado de Triana is another must-visit, a sprawling indoor bazaar set within the old Moorish fort of Castillo de San Jorge. If cured Iberian ham is your weakness, you’re in the right place. For antiques, crockery and other knick-knacks, the Thursday-only Mercadillo del Jueves is a huge open-air flea market with over 120 stalls.
