THE ART OF GOOD LIVING IN SEVILLE

In Seville, time is measured differently. Here, life isn't rushed, it's savored. From good tapas to a stroll along the river, the charm of flamenco and the passion of soccer, Seville's good life is an experience to be experienced firsthand. So forget about the clock and let yourself go.

Tomorrow: Wake up calmly and go to the traditional market

Start the day like a true Sevillian: with a leisurely breakfast. Enjoy a good cup of coffee with a toasted pringá or ham sandwich at El Comercio , where they've been serving hot chocolate with churros since 1904, or at La Cacharrería with its selection of artisan breads and fresh juices.

Then, cross the Triana Bridge and lose yourself in the market. At the Triana Market , the bustle of fruit, cured meats, and pickled food stalls mingles with bars where tapas are a must. Here, the best thing to do is order from several bars:
• At La Casa Fundida , try a board of Andalusian cheeses and a good wine.
• At Las Golondrinas , the puntillitas and the Iberian presa are never to be missed.
• And at Mariscos Emilio , garlic shrimp with a cold fino sherry tastes heavenly.

After tapas, there's nothing better than a stroll along the banks of the Guadalquivir to work off your meal and enjoy the views of the river.

Midday: Seville from the water and the rhythm of the city

Seville can also be experienced from the Guadalquivir. You can rent a kayak or paddleboard and paddle past the Torre del Oro, or simply embark on a boat trip to see the city from another perspective.

If you prefer something more exclusive, a vermouth on a private boat at sunset is a unique experience, with views of the Triana Bridge and the Giralda towering on the horizon.

And if rhythm is your thing, how about a visit to one of the authentic flamenco clubs ? Places like the Peña Torres Macarena or the Peña Flamenca El Chozas in Triana are temples of duende, where singing isn't a spectacle, but a shared feeling.

Afternoon: football, bullfighting, or shopping with art

The afternoon in Seville has many faces.

• If there's a game at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán or the Benito Villamarín , attending is a truly unique experience. Seville is a city that passionately embraces football , whether you're a Sevilla FC or Real Betis fan.

• If you prefer tradition, you can visit the Maestranza Bullring , one of the most iconic in the world. If there's a bullfight, the excitement in the stands is unique; if not, a tour of its museum will teach you about the history of bullfighting in Seville.

• And if shopping is your thing, opt for authenticity: at Antonio García , you'll find handmade hats; at Lina , shawls and flamenco dresses steeped in history; and at Romero , handmade shoes for lovers of elegance.

To close the afternoon, a coffee with a pastry at Manu Jara , in Triana itself, where their custard millefeuille is pure vice.

Evening: Dinner with a duende and Seville under the moon

When night falls, Seville is bewitched.

For dinner, you can choose between tradition and avant-garde:
• At Becerrita , Sevillian cuisine is masterfully served: oxtail croquettes and cod pavia are a must.
• If you prefer something more modern, Cañabota is a temple for fish and seafood lovers.
• And for a unique experience, the Alabardero tavern , with its charming Sevillian patio.

After dinner, Seville offers two paths:

Real Flamenco : Forget the tourist tablaos and find the duende at places like Peña Flamenca El Turruñuelo , where the artists sing and dance for themselves, and you are lucky enough to witness it.

Drinks with a view : At the Hotel Doña María Terrace , with the Giralda illuminated, or at Mariatrifulca , next to the river, where the sound of water accompanies the conversation.

And if the night drags on, the Alameda de Hércules is the place where Seville stays awake until its last breath.

Seville, a way of life

• Here, you eat slowly and enjoy every bite.
• The Guadalquivir is not just a river, it is a setting to experience.
• Football, flamenco, and bullfighting aren't just shows; they're part of the city's soul.
• And, above all, Seville is not visited, it is felt.

Live it calmly, with joy, and with the art that only this city can offer.
Because in Seville, good living is the norm.
