[Seville🇪🇸] Just like you imagine Spain! A city that is rapidly gaining popularity
Have you ever heard of Seville? 🇪🇸
It is the capital of Andalusia, Spain, and the fourth largest city in Spain!
It can also be written as Seville or Sebirya. Have you heard of the barber of Seville?
Seville is still unknown to Japanese people, but it is sure to become very popular from here! ! Tourism has suddenly become more popular since I heard that it was ranked number one in the 2022 European city rankings. ✨I'll be honest, this is the city where I lived. In Asia, it is very popular with Chinese and Koreans, and it is becoming a city that is easy for Asians to visit.
Seville is the home of flamenco. There are many small shops where you can see flamenco shows. But there are many other attractions in this city that you should know about! There are many world-class spots 🎵
The size of the city, which you can walk around, is also perfect for sightseeing 🚶
①Plaza Espana (Spain Square) 🏰🐴
It is a beautiful circular square decorated with decorations. It has been used for filming Star Wars, music festivals, and functions as a place for all kinds of art.
Seville has many buildings that combine Islamic and European architecture. The combination of beautifully patterned tiles on a European-style building is a symbol of this. The tiles on the walls are said to depict important historical events of each state.
In fact, it was built for the 1992 World Expo, so it is not a historic building. But you will be missing out if you don't see this beauty.
The reason to go now is the price. It's free now, but there is talk of charging an admission fee soon due to the increase in tourists! Now is your chance!
② Setas (Metropol Parasol) 🍄🟫🌅
The largest wooden building in the world. Locals call it setas, which means mushrooms. The sunset you see from the top is more beautiful than you would expect, and it's worth going even for 15€. I recommend making an online reservation in advance, but it's always very crowded these days. I heard that you can go up multiple times a day with one ticket, but I think it depends on the mood of the attendant. Be careful. In fact, you can go up for free at the hotel opposite and see a similar sunset view.
③Cathedral & Giralda Tower⛪️🕌
The cathedral is the third largest in the world, and part of the foundation that was used as a Muslim mosque remains, making it a cathedral with a sense of history. Don't forget to climb the Giralda Tower. It's a great spot to get a panoramic view of the city of Seville. You just have to climb the slope all the way to the top of the tower. Historically, it was made into a slope instead of stairs so that horses could climb it.
Even if reservations are sold out online, you can often get in if you line up. It also includes a ticket to the Treasury, which is about a 15-minute walk from the cathedral. If you have time left, go and see it.
④Old Town - Santa Cruz District🏘️💃
Seville's old town is the second largest in Europe. The narrow streets lined with old-fashioned houses and small shops make it feel like you're in a storybook. There are many restaurants, so you won't have any trouble finding a place to eat. This area is also home to many flamenco shows at night.
⑤ Triana Bridge and Triana District🌉🏞️
Seville also has nature. If you go west of the city, you will come across the Guadalquivir River and cross a beautifully decorated bridge to enter the Triana district. This area, where many artists were born, is beautiful with its historical buildings and a laid-back atmosphere. It's wonderful to spend an afternoon sunbathing by the river.
There are still many more places I would like to introduce, but I'll stop here!
And finally, if you want to go, now is the time to go! Semana Santa (Holy Week) in March and the spring festival of the Feria, one of Spain's three major festivals, are the tourist high seasons and the city is overflowing with people in April. In the summer, it is so hot that even locals run away from the city. Before it gets crowded, before you get found, before everything has to be charged an entrance fee! Please visit Seville!!
