I’ve got a list for you!
Go Up La Giralda
Everyone knows how I feel about going up the tallest viewing points in cities… and Seville in Spain is no exception.

Beware – customer service or a real ticket booth for this really doesn’t exist. Try and book your tickets beforehand. And Seville gets hot in the summer… so the earlier, the better – which is also best considering when I went at 3:50PM, it was crowded too.
But the views are gorgeous.

It doesn’t take long to get a shot from each quadrant. Totally worth the crowd. Plus – this is the first and only cathedral I’ve gone up in Europe that is handicap friendly, it’s a simple steady incline instead of your usual claustrophobic stairs!
Walk the City Center
Most of the beauty of Seville lays in a short distance.

There are neighborhood like Triana and Santa Justa to walk, but the stuff near the Cathedral is the bulk of it.

Getting lost in Seville, Spain.
I highly recommend just getting lost – and wondering down every narrow side street you can.
Tapas at La Bartola

A trip to Spain is never complete without tapas. I love France with all of my heart as we all know – but eating out at home in Paris gets expensive sometimes.

But that’s the thing about Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece…) – it’s cheaper, and you get more for your money.

I googled vegan tapas in Seville, and ‘La Bartola’ came up. It was fantastic. The waiter was friendly, great atmosphere, on a quiet street – with options for everyone.
I tried to eggplant, the stuffed zucchini, and the sushi. All of it was fantastic…

… but the sushi was the best.
Take a La Siesta
When I go to Spain, I like to sleep… on a bench, in the sun, or in a park…

… a lot.
It’s really just a given. I do it in Paris, too – but it feels more fitting in Spain.
Plaza de Espana
It seems that every city in Spain has a Plaza de Espana!

This reminded me a lot of El Retiro park in Madrid – with the boats, guitar playing… but quitter, less peaceful, and prettier with the classic Spanish tiles.

Maria Lusia Park beside it is like Seville’s Central Park: vast, with lots of benches or places to take your necessary la siesta.

Royal Alcazar Gardens
I was walking back to my hotel, and stumbled across this garden in full bloom in late May.

Someone was having a little concert. I enjoyed a baguette (never as good as France, though!) and guacamole, and another la siesta before heading back to my room to head home to Paris.
