Staying right in the heart of Seville, next to the River Guadalquivir, means you can explore the main tourist attractions on foot. Starting at Puerta de Jerez, this route takes in historic monuments, iconic neighbourhoods and the best of the local cuisine.

Tomorrow: by the river and major landmarks

The day begins with views of the Torre del Oro, one of the city’s landmarks, situated just a short walk from the hotel on the banks of the River Guadalquivir. From here, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to Seville Cathedral and the Giralda, two must-see historical landmarks. Directly opposite, the Real Alcázar of Seville offers one of the most comprehensive visitor experiences, combining history, Mudejar architecture and gardens. The walk continues through the Santa Cruz district, one of Seville’s most iconic tourist areas, with its narrow streets and charming squares.

Midday: tapas and Sevillian cuisine

For your lunch break, the historic centre offers a wide range of local dining options. Areas such as Calle Mateos Gago and the vicinity of the cathedral are home to traditional tapas bars where you can sample specialities such as Iberian ham, salmorejo and fried fish. For a more immersive experience, the Lonja del Barranco Market offers a diverse range of culinary delights in a historic setting beside the River Guadalquivir.

Afternoon: Seville’s historic sites and distinctive neighbourhoods

In the afternoon, the tour continues to María Luisa Park and Plaza de España, two of the city’s most visited and photographed spots. Plaza de España, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, is impressive for its size and the intricate detail of its tiles, which represent each Spanish province. It is one of those places that exceeds expectations even for those who have already seen it in photographs. On the way back, it’s well worth crossing the river to the Triana district, Seville’s most flamenco-infused and authentic neighbourhood. Its market, its streets lined with pottery and its promenade along the Guadalquivir offer a view of the city away from the main tourist circuit, with tapas bars and a local atmosphere that invite you to stay longer than planned.

Evening: culture and local atmosphere

The day can end with dinner in the city centre or in Triana, followed by a flamenco show, one of the most popular cultural experiences in Seville. Returning to Tayko Sevilla, right in the heart of Puerta de Jerez, allows you to round off the day just a stone’s throw from the river, having explored the entire historic centre on foot, without needing transport and without missing out on a thing.
