Seville and its charm comes from its Moorish influence. The narrow, winding streets endeavor to block the sun and hot African breezes from filling the maze-like cobblestone streets, the whitewashed houses and Baroque facades enchant travelers at every corner and the flamenco shows echo throughout the night–it is truly a city for the senses.
Where to Stay
Stay with Juan in the center of Seville on Calle Alfonso XII in a modern luxury loft for just $74 a night. The building was designed by one of the most well-renowned architects in Seville, Anîbal Gonzalez, who also designed Plaza de España. Just steps away from nightlife, plazas and cultural attractions, Juan is ready to welcome you with open arms, a list of tapas, bars and restaurants to visit in the area and must-see attractions.
