The city is a sophisticated blend of ancient and modern, with many chic boutiques and shops, Calle Las Sierpes is the centre point of the main shopping area, there are many shoe stores and crafts shops selling Andalucian products as well as high class jewellers and clothing stores. Leather clothing, shoes and lace work are of particularly high standard.

Some of the older areas are now also pedestrianised, but wherever you choose to go you are never too far away from a variety of cafes and Tapas bars Seville claims to be the mother of the idea of Tapas bars, a favourite past time is to wander from one to another trying a little of this or that as the day passes in night, try a real Spanish Omelette they are delicious.

Dusk and the cooler evening air breathes life into the city, as the Flamenco shows and Classical guitar studios vie with the restaurants and bars for you custom.
