Seville is one of Spain's most culturally rich, colourful and lively cities. Consisting of internationally recognised architecture, brightly painted streets and a vibrant food scene there can be a lot to fit into one weekend or know where best to spend your time. During my short birthday trip in early October, we stumbled across pretty courtyards overflowing with wine bars and the sound of flamenco dancing drifting through the air. Seville has a vibrant atmosphere with plenty to see, do and eat.

Sibuya - If you are after Sushi while in Seville restaurant Sibuya it is by far the best place to go. The concept of the menu is to create sushi that is innovative and unique by mixing flavours and cooking methods not seen in traditional Japanese restaurants. I would highly recommend the butterfish flaming roll or the 'special' salmon nigiri.

Placiodo y Grata - A restaurant and concept store with a mixed menu of dishes such as Tuna Tataki, Octopus leg or Spanish cannelloni. The vibe is relaxed so you can sit in for just a drink from the wide selection of local and European wines or beers. The interiors feel Scandinavian and the ceramics, wines and glassware are available to buy from the store.

Setas de Sevilla - While sights from the Giralda tower are good they are slightly restricted so head to Setas de Sevilla for full 360° views of the city. The structure was built in 2011 with the purpose to create a link between two areas while creating a shade to be used freely by the public.

General Admission From: €5/£4.30

Plaza de España - Also known as the Venice of Seville the Plaza de Espana was designed by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929 to show off Spain’s accomplishments in industry and architecture. The 48 small surrounding pavilions and dedicated to each province of Spain and decorated in brightly and delicately detailed ceramic tiles. Today some of the pavilions are dedicated to museums and rowing boats are available to hire on the canal.

Free

I would highly recommend a minimum three-night stay to be able to enjoy all of Seville's attractions and have time to explore outside of the city centre. Seville is lucky enough to have year-round sun with comfortable temperatures and a vast range of contemporary boutique hotels and Airbnb options.
