A weekend away in....SEVILLE

This sunny city is brimming with epic architecture and authentic tapas

Seville seems to radiate a golden glow. It’s partly the climate – rows of orange trees line the streets and reliable sunshine pours down into the squares. But there’s also something sparkling about this southern Spanish city’s history, architecture, and cuisine. Wandering around the winding, cobbled streets, it’s easy to get lost. But the lanes almost always lead to a plaza, where an epic church towers into blue skies and enticing tapas bars are waiting. Just what you need for a weekend…

Breathtaking architecture

Around every corner in Seville is a photo opportunity, with tree-lined streets weaving through Renaissance and Gothic buildings. But there’s nothing quite so beautiful as the Catedral de Sevilla (catedraldesevilla.es/cultural-visit) in the heart of the city. Tour the ornate interior then climb to the top of the Giralda tower for a panoramic view across the centre.
