The Best of the Andalusian Capital, Seville, Spain

I鈥檝e lived (in Triana and Cerro. a World Cup. the聽Tomatina). I鈥檝e loved (teaching. long nights. tostadas. the Novio). And I鈥檝e learned (how to fake your way to anyhing by playing the guiri card, mostly).

And after eight years as a聽sevillamericana 鈥撀燬eptember聽13th is my eight Spaniversary! 鈥撀營 think I can call myself a Seville expert. In a city as聽rancio聽as this one, two years as a聽guiriresident means you know the city like the back of your hand 鈥� or at least the back bar of Buddha.

And thus, dear readers, I present my curated collection of the Best of the Best, in an order as random as the streets of Santa Cruz:

Best Place to Watch a Sunset: As the popular song goes,聽El sol duerme in Triana y nace en Santa Cruz. My favorite place to see the sun go down is on the banks of the Guadalquivir with a clear view to the Triana bridge that links the city center to my neighborhood. There are loads of bars that way, as well.

Best Terrace Bar: As long as we鈥檙e talking about bars, rooftop bars got hella trendy right about the time I stopped paying rent by moving in with the Novio. This meant I had disposable income that went straight to having fun on the weekends, and I still love one of the first I went to:聽The Roof聽on聽Calle Trajano. Trendy and reasonably priced (as in, 7鈧� for a G&T instead of 10鈧�), plus with views to the Setas and the Cathedral. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
