A Deep Dive into Seville, Spain

Seville, Spain, is the quintessential Spanish city, the city that springs to mind whenever "Spain" is mentioned in the US. Flamenco, art, and architecture that's the evidence of centuries of Muslim rule, the Feria de Abril and Semana Santa processions.

My family lived near this city for about 8 years, and in this guide, I'll provide a basic guide of must-sees and must-dos in this vibrant and historic city, including restaurants and a few hotels that will help you get excited to start planning your trip.

It was an unforgettable and beautiful adventure!

Seville 2 Day Itinerary, Andalusia. Spain

La Carbonería

This is where you want to go for Flamenco that doesn't cost 30+ euros. Entrance is free and I'm pretty sure they just require you to purchase a drink when you get there. The place itself has a cool patio outside and a big interesting room with very long tables for the whole crowd to squish together on. It's certainly not the most comfortable and it's not for everyone, but the flamenco is good and the deal is unbeatable. 

Locals mainly frequent this secluded place in Barrio Santa Cruz. 
La Carboneria offers simple food and a wide selection of drinks to keep you hydrated while you enjoy a flamenco show. 
NB: La Carboneria has specific rules when it comes to flamenco shows. You CAN'T take pictures or videos of the dancers.  

Tavern offering tapas and flamenco shows in a former coal warehouse with patio and tile floor.Bring cash, they don't take cards.Food is street food style, I recommend coming after eating and just having sangria and enjoying the flamenco show.

My favorite flamenco show in the city, show included with the price of a drink or snack from the bar. Very relaxed environment in the middle of the city. I bring all my visitors here :)

Phenomenal free flamenco performances with option to buy sangria, tinto de verano, & snacks 

Free flamenco shows every hour, located in the Santa Cruz neighborhood


Authentic Tablao Flamenco only few meters from the recommended hotels
