innovative and traditional cuisine, and an
abundance of loved-up young couples ensure
visitors return over and over again.
The city is easily navigable on foot, be it
internally by the dominant Seville cathedral or
along the banks of the Guadalquivir River, all
the way towards the eclectic and funky Triana
neighbourhood, a hub of artistic and creative
flair that has the extra cool edge. In April, the
haunting Semana Santa (Haunting Week) and
Feria de Abril have the streets come alive, even
more than usual.

Just a few hour’s drive away are the cities and
historical centres of Granada and Córdoba,
which make fabulous day trips.
In the pulse of the old quarter, in Barrio Alfalfa,
Corral del Rey is a refuge of stillness and peace.
The original 17th Century Casa Palacio has
been meticulously restored and converted into
a small private luxury boutique hotel, with chic
suites and architectural highlights. A massive
bonus is the rooftop pool, a rarity in the city,
which, from July onwards, sees temperatures
soar to 40C+. Spring is an idyllic time to visit
