Plaza de España
Built for the 1929 exhibition, this huge semicircular square is decorated with tiled benches representing the provinces of Spain. Superb in the late afternoon.

Flamenco in Triana
On UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, flamenco is best experienced up close in a small tablao. The Triana district, across the Guadalquivir, is one of its cradles.
Ideal for music lovers
The Feria and tapas
In spring, Holy Week and then the April Fair transform the city. All year round, go on a tapas crawl: salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas, Iberian ham.
