The flamenco performance here was a highlight of my time in Sevilla. I spent a week in the city,…read moreand I went to the performance my last evening in town. There were two one hour offerings--5pm and 7pm. I chose the former as I was hoping to enjoy one last evening walk around the city. The music was rhythmic, the dancing was entrancing, and the dance attire was beautiful. The performance space is quite intimate (roughly 75 seats on 3 sides of the stage), and drinks are available for purchase prior to the performance. There was no audience participation component--thank goodness. Check out the gift shop on your way out; there are a number of good finds here.

There are so many places in Seville that offer Flamenco demonstrations that it was hard to know which one to choose. After extensive research, I choose the Museo del Baile Flamenco. I liked that they supported the art form, and I was also interested in seeing the items in the museum. The beautiful performance definitely didn't disappoint. It was in a small venue and lasted an hour. The museum was great, and the dresses were absolutely amazing.

From the river, walk straight across the park to the plaza, or catch one of the many horse carriages giving 30-minute tours. Shady, with numerous paths criss-crossing the park, there are flowers, benches, toilets, and carts selling water bottles, hats, fans, and trinkets. Busy with families on weekends, one end is filled with the archaelogy museum, while the palace is on the other. Many buildings from the 1929 expo still line the park.

Honestly though, I hardly noticed because the show was so incredible. The guitar player and singers were phenomenal and really a part of the show.

Good place to escape the summer heat for a bit and learn some history about the impressive foundations of the city of Seville. The ruins range from as early as the 1st century AD and are in varying states of recovery and restoration. The mosaic pieces are quite beautiful. There's a separate exhibition behind glass doors which seems to be under renovation that we weren't able to access, and there were some areas where water was seeping from the roof into buckets. True, this place could use a little more TLC but it's a quiet refuge from the city!

Just down the street is a recreation of a ship that supposedly completed the first trip around the world so going the extra mile coming down to this neighborhood is definitely worth the trip to experience a different side of Seville. It's a naval museum overall which is something you won't see in the other Sevillan museums.

As times have changed and the treatment/protection of animals been made a priority, the sport has declined in popularity and been banned in most countries. Spain and Mexico are two countries that still allow the tradition to carry on. Nonetheless, it remains a part of history and culture. If you find yourself in Spain, it's a must that you visit the museum. Sitting in an empty arena is definitely an experience. It was awesome to reflect on the amount of people that walked through the doors to see the spectacle of man versus beast. If you have the appetite to watch a bullfight, I recommend that you do. The bulls are not wasted, but later cooked as part of the traditional celebrations. The museum space itself is small, but the grounds of the arena are impressive. The courage it must have taken to walk out to the center of the arena and test your fate. Tour the museum, look at the artifacts, and learn about history.

Spanish nightlife is a little different from what I am used to back in the States but we still had a great time. The bar staff were pretty quick at taking care of your order and the bouncers were actually pretty chill. €5 gets you in and a free shot at the bar. The bar is off to the right side and the rest of the bar is dominated by the dance floor. At the back of the bar by the bathrooms there are a few tables to sit down at. The Bad: You have to pay cover to get into the bar before you are really sure how many people will be in there so its kind of a hit or miss on whether there will be a lot of people to socialize in there with. Also, the theme of the bar is American Rock. It is poorly executed as all the music being played was pop.
