Weekend in Sevilla

Where to stay:

Hostal lis I

I definitely recommend Hostal Lis I near the Plaza Alfalfa area, cheap and atmospheric. We had a great stay there. www.sevilla5.com/hotels/seville-hostels.html has a good selection of cheap options also.
Hostal Lis Site

Where to eat:

Duque's outside eating counter

www.exploreseville.com/tapas-bars.htm has a great page on tapas listed by area. I recommend:

• El Patio de San Eloy c/ San Eloy 9, for montaditos



• Bar E. Morales c/ Garcia de Vinuesa, for manzanilla and seafood tapas



• Coloniales c/ Plaza Cristo de Burgos, 19 (near Hostal Lis) for an early dinner



• Bar Duque c/Plaza Duque , for chocolate y churros in the morning.

Where to drink:

Triana nightlife

• El Rincóncillo c/ Gerona / Plaza de los Terceros , bar dating from 1670



• Several other good spots on Plaza de los Terceros for beer outside
  


• Cabo Loco Bar c/Pérez Galdós , for Tinto de Verano



• The boardwalk in Triana on weekends for beer by the river
  

What to drink:

• Manzanilla is my favorite, but you should try Fino or Oloroso also. For information and history on Sherry visit www.costadelaluz.biz/sherry.html


• Cruzcampo on tap or in bottles with olives or potato chips on Plaza Salvador always tastes great


• Tinto De Verano (red wine and a Sprite type mix) means "red wine of summer" it tastes great, but watch out the next day

What to see:

Sevilla market

• The mercado behind Plaza de la Encarnación is not as grand as the ones in Valencia or Barcelona, but a cool place to walk around if you love food.
• Cathedral Giralda looks great and the Reales Alcazares is a must even if your not into tourist sites. the gardens are a great place to relax
• Plaza de España is a strangly grandiose place to walk around. No wonder they used it for a scene in one of the "Star Wars" movies
• Real Fabrica de Tabacos is a fantasic building, the second largest in spain. Bizet based his 1875 opera "Carmen " on the women who made cigars here.
