 Alternative atmosphere, all day long |
Alameda de Hércules 83 Seville 41002 Spain +34 95 490 1954 |
This cafeteria-bar enjoys an ample spectrum of clientele. Often frequented by homosexuals, the atmosphere here is very avant-garde, with the most modern people in town. Starting at midday they serve tapas (hors-d'ouevre sized portions of local and traditional food), all vegetarian and very original. Later, after your afternoon coffee or tea, they will serve you whatever you desire. The music is the best thing here, if you like trip hop and other new musical trends. The nights here can be wild, with a mix of all types of people looking to meet new friends. Here it will be easy for you to do so. And every Wednesday they treat you to some type of show--musical, theatre, or comedy--that always seems to bend the rules a little. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Music and a Metropolitan Atmosphere |
Calle Vulcano 4 Seville 41002 Spain |
Located in the City Centre, in the popular Alameda de Hercules, there are several coffee shops and clubs which have very characteristic styles. They are the places where people going to write, read a book while drinking a coffee or to listen jazz; amongst these cafes stands out the Cafe Sonoro. It's a little hidden place that is small but a true gem of a coffee shop. Its outside terrace is usually very crowded when the weather is cooperating, and the inside has a sort of cosmopolitan feel to it with a soft lighting throughout. The club also offers popular music, at least for jazz lovers. There is also an impressive tea menu as well. Café Sonoro stays open late, so you can drink a coffee into the wee hours of the morning. -Joaquín Montaño Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Theatrical representations for children |
Calle Crédito 11 Seville 41002 Spain +34 95 490 0164 |
Since 1991 the Alameda Theatre has directed its shows to audiences comprised of children and adolescents. The specialization arrived from the need to fill the void in this sector in Seville and Andalusia. In fact, in Spain there are only five theatres of this type. This way, participation of schools in activities for school-aged children is increased. Each year about 60000 spectators visit the Alameda Theatre, as do more than 60 companies and about 200 shows.

Concentrates on murals |
Calle Castelar 40 Seville 41003 Spain +34 95 491 5668 |
As well as the exhibitions of paintings, sculpture, collages, etc. displayed in this gallery, most of the works are painted murals, a genre typical of the 20s when murals were more popular than paintings done on the more traditional easel. The work of young artists who use this style shows a great desire to express and reflect the magnitude of social scenes, and they challenge the observer to study and appreciate them. The temporary exhibitions tend to last about 20 days and are then replaced by new work. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exhibition of abstract art |
Calle De Miguel Cid 80 Seville 41002 Spain |
This gallery in the centrally-located San Lorenzo area has put on more than 200 exhibitions, the majority of which have been of paintings and photographs, and on occasion sculptures and performances.

 House owned by the Alba family |
Calle Dueñas 5 Seville 41003 Spain +34 95 422 0956 |
This palace is the property and residence of the Duchess of Alba, the person with the most noble titles in Spain. The Machado brothers were born here, and this fact is depicted in the painted tiles on the palace's outside walls, otherwise built of brick. Although it is not open to the public, it is worth having a look at from the outside. Its central location means that you are likely to walk past it on a stroll through the centre anyway. The palace gate is a typical place to have your photo taken, with the flower-filled courtyard in the background. Review © 2007, Wcities |
