We rented a fantastic little apartment in the Plaza de los Venerables through Apartamentos Suites Santa Cruz. I HIGHLY recommend it. It sits above a great restaurant. Anyway, we walked all over Seville and thought that this little plaza, the one we picked out of a hat basically when we booked it, was the most picturesque and cozy one in the city. Centrally located, a few blocks from the Cathedral and everything else. Great for families. 152 days, 16 hours ago
Seville is Spain in its purest. Having some tapa with Tinto de Verano in a cozy cafeteria is a great way to spend time in the afternoon, before hitting a bar to see Flamenco dancing. I'd say the best way to enjoy sightseeing Seville is to walk around in Santa Cruz and El Arenal. However, if you plan to visit many museums, the Sevilla Card might be worth buying to save your travel money. With it you'll get free admission to many museums and monuments _and_ unlimited use of public transportation. 36 days, 5 hours ago
