Do in Seville

• Semana Santa - the sombre Easter week processions feature thousands of people and go on all week - a spectacular display of conspicuous Catholicism
• Feria de abril - a release after the sombreness of Semana Santa , a huge party of eating and drinking
• Go out - the nightlife of Seville is fantastic; no other European city has so many bars per inhabitant than Seville. In summmer go to Isla Cartuja and find out why the Spanish night doesn't stop before 7 AM. There you can find plenty of open-air discoteques. Other nightlife spots include Calle Betis in Triana, La Alamede de Hércules, and Plaza Alfalfa.
• Flamenco - Flamenco is in fact very popular at the moment in Spain and is not just for tourists, however finding the right place is hard (unless you ask a local). El Arenal is one place to consider. The Cultural Centre, C/ Ximénez de Enciso, 28 ( Santa Cruz ). Tel 954 56 06 70, is a good spot to see real flamenco, performances are daily at 9:00pm, it costs €22, €10 for students and Sevillians, €6 for kids (4 to 10).
• Walking Tours , mailto:info@sevillawalkingtours.com , 902 158 226, 616 501 100, - fascinating and integral to the enjoyment of a city are all the little bits and stories that audioguides don't provide. The guide is interesting and interested in what she does—if she doesn't know something she will endeavour to find out. Entry to buildings is not included—consider combining the tour with a Seville tourist card. Reductions are available for taking various combinations of these tours.

  • City Tour , Mo-Sa, fee €10, meets at 10:30am in front of the statue in Plaza Nueva
  • Cathedral Tour , Mo, We, Fr, fee €6, meets at 1:00pm in the Plaza del Triunfo.
  • Alcazar Tour , Tu, Th, Sa, fee €6, meets at 1:00pm in the Plaza del Triunfo.
• Horse drawn carriage rides found near the cathedral take you to the nearby park and other sites of interest - for the sake of the animals, try to avoid / discourage the use of carriage rides in the heat of the day in summer

Eat in Seville

  Seville, like most Andalusian destinations, is known for its tapas. "Tapa," while it is associated with certain dishes, is actually a size and many restaurants or bars will offer a "tapa," "1/2 ración" (half serving, although sometimes enough to make a meal) and "ración" (serving) of the same dish. There are many great tapas places around the foot of the cathedral in the center of town. You can't go wrong, simply order one of everything to find your favorite! Some tipical tapas include "tortilla española" (potato omlette), "pulpo gallego" (galician octopus), "aceitunas" (olives), "papas bravas" (spicy potatoes), and "queso manchego" (goat cheese from the nearby La Mancha region).

  Some bars near the river, such as "Pedalquivir" and "El Faro de Triana," offer a nice view but aren't as good of a deal in terms of the quality of the food. A good deal can more easily be had at less characteristic places such as "Sloppy Joe's Pizza Inn" and "Papasá." For the most typical and interesting meal, stop at one of the many bars, especially one which doesn't offer English menus (the prices are likely to be lower).

  If you're vegetarian, make sure you specify that you eat no fish or tuna as vegetarian only implies no flesh here. A place with a very good selection of vegetarian and vegan foods is Habanita, a quiet open air restarurant in the center of the city.                                                                   From Wikitravel
