The Andalusian capital tops the ranking ‘Best in Travel’ (Lonely Planet)
Seville will be the great destination to which travelers from all over the world should travel next year. With the Year of Murillo going, the city is at its best.
The year of Murillo and much more
Seville has never lacked claims to be one of the cities dreamed by travelers from around the world. It boasts of its exceptional historical and artistic heritage, of being a city «with duende» whose charm is breathed in the streets. But, in addition, during the last 10 years Seville has been transformed into a city of bicycles and trams, eager to revitalize its artistic past and eager for tourists to visit much more than its famous historic center (Cathedral, Giralda, Alcázar …). The metamorphosis has not gone unnoticed and therefore
For Seville it will be a very special year, since it celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Sevillian baroque painter Esteban Murillo and throughout the year half a dozen exceptional exhibitions can be visited. In addition, the city will host the 31st edition of the European Film Awards and looks its best for the world in the series Game of Thrones.
It has been especially valued the successful fusion between tradition and innovation, which is seen, for example, in gastronomy: the bars and restaurants of Seville have managed to incorporate the latest trends and culinary fashions without losing their traditions, such as tapas. In the downtown neighborhoods there are classics of all life, such as El Rinconcillo, a restaurant that claims to be the oldest in the country (founded in 1670), while you can enjoy a more modern tapas on Betis Street, in Triana, or the Alameda de Hércules.
And for all those who believe that they already know Seville, the city proposes to discover new areas and initiatives, for example, crossing the Triana Bridge and contemplating the city from this neighborhood full of tradition and charm.
