Juan Ramón Jiménez said that “In the universal spring, paradise usually descend to Seville.” And we add: Not only in the spring. Seville is a city that you have to know, that you have to live and that you have to feel at least once in your life. Be at the time of year that is.
If you only have one day to visit Seville, you will have much to see. However, just one look is enough to fall in love with this city full of charm, tradition and history in every corner. From El Rinconcillo we suggest you the places that you have to see yes or yes. We will start at the Plaza del Triunfo, from the heart of Seville. We will be at the foot of the majestic Giralda, next to the Cathedral of Seville, which will be our first essential visit.
If you also go up to the Giralda, you will have an unparalleled panoramic view of the city. In the same square is the entrance to the Real Alcázar, another point that you can not miss in your visit to Seville. This fortified palace is composed of areas built in different stages and is witness to the history of the city for more than a thousand years. It is not only a place of great historical relevance, but also constitutes one of the most beautiful and curious architectural ensembles in the country, mixing styles that go from Mudejar to Renaissance.
We will end the morning visiting the Church of El Salvador, the largest in Seville after the Cathedral and one of the greatest architectural gems of the city.
After these visits, we will be hungry and tired. To recharge the batteries and continue our day of sightseeing in Seville, we will make a stop with history in El Rinconcillo. Standing since 1670, it is the oldest bar in Seville. To this day it has retained its traditional aesthetic for four centuries, a decoration and an environment that make this place a unique setting. Sevillians and visitors come here daily to taste their delicious and popular tapas.
In the afternoon, we will lose ourselves in the streets of the neighborhood of Santa Cruz and enjoy the shadows of the trees of the Jardines de Murillo.
A plan that we can not stop doing is to take a walk through the Parque de María Luisa, one of the green lungs of the city and declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in the Historic Garden category. To finish, we will see how the Plaza de España is dyed orange with the sunset, a picture that remains stuck in the memory of one who has the privilege of enjoying it.
