 The city's most famous street |
Calle Sierpes Seville 41004 Spain |
This is, without doubt, the best-known street and it runs between Plaza de San Francisco and La Campana (a shopping area). Although it's a short street, it's lined with all kinds of shops, bars and cafés, and has a constant stream of people all day long. It's a prime location, right in the center of the city and completely pedestrianized. Next to this street are Plaza del Salvador and Capilla de San José. There are also several tiled walls in this street, one of these being the façade of Seville's former prison where you can read that Miguel De Cervantes was imprisoned here, and it was while serving his sentence that he had the idea to write El Quijote, the most famous work of Spanish literature.

The city's largest festival |
Calle Adolfo Rodríguez Jurado 2 Adolfo Rodríguez Jurado, 2 Seville 41001 Spain +34 95 421 1091 |
This festival began in 1847 as a yearly livestock concentration of a commercial nature. Today, Seville explodes into colour, lights and beauty in what is called Real de la Feria, in the Los Remedios neighbourhood, a concentration of hundreds of canvas shacks that become a sort of improvised home where people eat, drink and dance to the beat of sevillanas (traditional folk music) during the week-long party. The bullfights, held in the Maestranza bullring, are very popular too. By day a family-style fair is held, where friends and acquaintances get together. At night young people invade the streets of Real de la Feria and dance the night away. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fine example of regionalist architecture |
Glorieta de Anibal González Seville 41013 Spain +34 95 423 9909 |
A magnificent semi-circular square that has become a symbol of the city. Along with the adjacent building it was designed by Aníbal González for Seville's 1929 Ibero-American Expo in a style that has become known as Andalusian regionalist because it employed a mixture of architectural influences from the past including Renaissance and Gothic. The most oustanding feature is the overwhelming use of exposed red brick. The inner part of the square contains a series of glazed-tile depictions of historical scenes from every province in Spain. A canal runs around the perimeter of the square where you can hire a rowing boat or motor boat for a short pleasure trip. Review © 2007, Wcities |
