Experience Boat Tours in Seville

Tap into the tapas: For one, you are in Spain, and two, you are in Seville. Tapas is taken very seriously here, so much so, that it has its own vocabulary – to tapear. Which means to go out for a tapas. So, do as the locals do, head out and try some. Specialities include Espinacas con Garbanzos (spinach and chickpeas spiced with cumin and Solomillo al Whisky (pork loin with a whisky, garlic and lemon sauce).

Best things to do: Seville has some top attractions to explore away from your boat cruise. There’s the Alcazar of Seville and Seville Cathedral to explore. You could head to nearby Alhambra Palace for more historical exploration. For evening entertainment, you could have an evening of Flamenco, so get those dancing shoes on! Even a walk down the winding streets of the Jewish quarter and stumbling across an orange tree-lining plaza is a Seville joy.

Staying safe: You’ll find Seville to be a safe city to explore, however, you still need to be careful as pickpockets do operate in tourist areas. Keep your belongings hidden, and it’s best to avoid dark streets or walking alone at night. If you do have an emergency, dial 112.

• Seville was once on an island and was also called Hisbaal. We’re talking back to Roman times for this, and before, when the Iberian people lived there.

• Seville Cathedral is a spectacular building, not only a UNESCO World Heritage site, but it’s also the world’s largest Gothic cathedral, making it bigger than St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. It also took nearly a century to build!

• Another mouth-dropping fact is that over 25,000 orange trees are lining the city streets, squares, and plazas. Making it the most vitamin-rich city in the world. A word of warning for you, don’t try to eat one, they are way too bitter. They are used to make essential oils, chocolates and cakes.
