Become an honorary Sevillian by following your in-the-know host along the narrow streets of Santa Cruz in the heart of the city, weaving between many of Seville's oldest landmarks, such as the romantic Alcázar palace and its iconic courtyard, the Patio de Doncellas, where you can marvel at its luscious sunken gardens and reflecting pools. From there, head over to the Plaza Alfaro, home to the famous Balcón De Rosina referred to in The Barber of Seville opera, but make sure to return at night to witness a wonderland of lights at the nearby hidden street, Calle del Agua. Take note of traditional tapas bars close by to add to your list of things to try later, or admire the grand 15th-century La Casa flamenco theatre, where you can return for an intimate show of authentic foot-stamping flamenco – olé!
