Why visit Seville

Seville folds the Alcázar, the cathedral and the Giralda into whitewashed lanes you can walk end to end in half an hour. Tapas are cheap and ceremonial: a caña and a plate of salmorejo at a Triana bar costs about €3. Alcázar entry is €14.50, the Plaza de España is free, and the orange trees along the cathedral walls scent the whole of March.

3 days in Seville: what to eat & see

Day 1: The monumental heart

Start where the city started, at the Seville Cathedral. It is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, built on the site of a former mosque to a scale that was meant to make future generations "take us for madmen." Inside you'll find the tomb of Christopher Columbus, held aloft by four figures representing the kingdoms of Spain. Climb the Giralda, the cathedral's bell tower - originally a minaret - by a series of gentle ramps rather than stairs, and you're rewarded with a rooftop panorama of the whole city. A few steps away is the Real Alcázar, and if you see one thing in Seville, make it this. A working royal palace still used by the Spanish crown, it's a dazzling layering of Mudéjar, Got…

Day 2: Plazas, parks and the other side of the river

Begin at the Plaza de España, the showpiece built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. A vast half-moon of brick and ceramic, ringed by a canal you can row across and decorated with tiled alcoves for each Spanish province, it is arguably the most photogenic single spot in the country. Come early to beat both the heat and the crowds. It sits inside the Parque de María Luisa, a shady, fountain-dotted park that's perfect for a slow morning stroll. In the afternoon, swing north to the Metropol Parasol, known locally as Las Setas ("the mushrooms") - one of the largest wooden structures in the world, with a walkway across its undulating roof and long views back over the terracotta rooftops. Fro…

Day 3: Slower pleasures and a Roman detour

Use your last morning for the corners most visitors miss. The Casa de Pilatos is a stunning Andalusian palace, quieter than the Alcázar but almost as beautiful, blending Mudéjar and Italian Renaissance design around a central courtyard. Alternatively, wander the Mercado de Triana or the streets around Alfalfa for a leisurely brunch and some souvenir shopping - hand-painted ceramics and Spanish olive oil travel well. If you have a half-day and a taste for history, take the short trip out to Itálica, near the town of Santiponce. One of the earliest Roman cities in Spain and the birthplace of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, it has a remarkably well-preserved amphitheatre and beautiful floor mo…
