Guidebook for Sevilla
Food Scene
At the heart of Triana this bar is at the top of my list. Great quality and service but go early (before 9:00) if you don’t want to queue. Recom: ‘rosada al limón con pimientitos’ & ‘bacalao dorado'.

[COCKTAILS - 'EMBARCADERO'] My favourite spot in Triana. Keep your eyes open or you will miss the entrance door (very small). The view of the other side of Seville from the River’s bank is amazing.

Entertainment & Activities
[AMUSEMENT PARK] A nice escape from the more historical sights on hot days (WATER attractions). It's very popular with locals but a bit outdated and pricey. Still great fun for kids and adults though.

Sightseeing
While the church itself is stunning, it's the treasury and details that will blow you away. The Madonna is used for the Easter parades and holds a special place in the hearts of the Seville people.

The church is a vivid example of the Baroque style. The icons and paintings are wonderful. It is worth a guided tour or audio tour (2 to 3€) to have a better idea of the history behind the art works.
