Holiday homes & rentals in Seville

Wend your way through the maze of medieval passages that lead to your Seville holiday apartment. These ancient streets look as though they could have leapt from the pages of Arabian Nights. Palaces, ornate Baroque churches, and the world's largest Gothic cathedral dazzle with opulent splendour. A weekend break in Seville will blend Roman ruins, Moorish influences, and mirage-like nights in flamenco clubs.

More Moorish meals

Andalucian cuisine is some of the most loved in all of Spain. Whereas you'll find the city replete with top-notch dining options, conTenedor is one of the favourites for traditional cuisine. A slow food aesthetic, coupled with the restaurant's charming settings and bright paintings by the owner himself, distinguish the place. Tapas aficionados can choose from some 3,000 tapas bars that populate Seville. While Jamón Ibérico is the staple, you should also seek out solomillo al whisky for a sublime alternative. The Moorish influence on the city bursts adds spicy intrigue to dishes such as espinacas con garbanzos (spinach, chickpeas, and warming cumin), and honeyed aubergines. Wash it down like a local with a Cruzcampo beer, or team your squid with a frosted fino. Life doesn't get much better.

The largest Gothic structure of its type in the world, the Seville Cathedral is equally as inspiring for its scale as its architectural prowess.

Dating to 1434, other highlights of this remarkable ecclesiastical edifice include a glittering gold altarpiece and the ornate final resting place of Christopher Columbus. Don't leave the city without seeing its majestic UNESCO-protected palace, which is over a thousand years old.
