Worth getting out of bed for
Explore the Real Alcázar (+34 954 502 323; www.patronato-alcazarsevilla.es), a series of Moorish, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque palaces with exquisite gardens and the particularly picturesque Patio de Banderas. The former Jewish quarter, Santa Cruz, is worth a wander to admire its maze of narrow streets, wrought-iron gates and flower-filled patios.
Local restaurants
In Santa Cruz, head to the garden-side terrace at Modesto (+34 954 416 811) for the hefty selection of fresh seafood, including the signature gambas al ajillo. Close by is La Albahaca (+34 954 220 714), where the French-flavoured menu covers a whole range of game dishes.
Local bars
Cervecería la Giralda (+34 954 228 250) on Calle Mateos Gago is built into the ruins of a 10th-century Arab bath house. It’s famous for its tapas, particularly fish-based nibbles. The historic El Rinconcillo (+34 954 223 183) on Calle Gerona dates from 1670, and is the place to go for micro portions of salt cod.
Nightlife
Catch an all-singing, dancing and guitar-playing flamenco performance at bath house Casa de la Memoria (+34 954 560 670; www.casadelamemoria.es) on Calle Ximénez de Enciso. La Anselma is a Studio 54-like authentic Andalucia institution on Calle Pagés del Corro in Seville’s Triana neighbourhood.
