Hola! Welcome to The Seville Guide
The Seville Guide was created by a small team of writers who now call Seville home.
We’re originally from all over the world, but when we first arrived, we all ran into the same problem: it was surprisingly hard to find clear, up-to-date, reliable information about the city in English.
We wanted one place where we could find out what’s happening in Seville, discover great local spots that don’t always make it into the guidebooks, and get practical advice on how to enjoy life here, whether that was for a short trip, a semester abroad, or a much longer stay.
Instead, a lot of what we found online was either out of date, scattered across different places, or written by big commercial sites with generic articles and very little real experience of the city.
That’s why we started The Seville Guide.
This is the resource we wished we’d had when we first arrived: an English-language local guide to Seville, packed with practical travel tips, event listings, neighbourhood guides, restaurant recommendations, useful directories, day trip ideas, and honest advice from people who actually live here.
Whether you’re visiting Seville for the first time, coming back for more, studying here, working remotely, or starting to call the city home, we’re here to help you plan with confidence, find what’s on, and enjoy Seville in a way that feels a little more local.

Originally from the UK and now based in Seville, I started The Seville Guide after realising how difficult it was to find clear, up-to-date information about events, local happenings, and everyday city life in English.
Most guides were in Spanish, which wasn’t much help when I first arrived and was still getting to grips with the language. I created The Seville Guide to remove that barrier and make it easier to connect with the city, from exhibitions and pop-up events to neighbourhood tips, cultural happenings, and daily life in Seville.
I’ve got a long-standing interest in architecture and history, and I’m always curious about the small details that give Seville its personality. When I’m not exploring new corners of the city, you’ll usually find me with a coffee, a glass of local wine, or checking out some of Seville’s great cocktail bars.

These days, I work with artists and cultural spaces across the city, helping bring flamenco to the stage in all its raw, powerful glory.
For me, flamenco isn’t just work, it’s part of my everyday life. Whether it’s a polished theatre show or a spontaneous moment in a late-night tablao, I’m always chasing that rhythm that makes Seville feel so alive.

Spending time with local Sevillanos has shaped how I experience Seville, and I’m always keen to see the city through their eyes, whether that means finding a neighbourhood hangout or a small gallery tucked away from the usual routes.
I’m most at home exploring Seville’s food, arts, and cultural scenes. You’ll often find me wandering through museums and exhibitions, spending evenings in the Alameda, and making plenty of time to eat well. Garbanzos con espinacas, a proper serranito, and salmorejo are firm favourites.
For me, Seville is a city to savour through conversation, culture, and whatever’s on the plate.
