Head out on the town to enjoy the festive, fun-seeking personality of the Andalusian people. This stems from the 1500's when Seville was the wealthiest city in the country due to its prosperous shipping activity along the Guadalquivir. Since dinner is not eaten until late at night, people begin to fill the streets at about 11:00 pm while the dance venues don't get busy until midnight. It's not out of the ordinary to stay out later than five a.m. You will find vendors selling litronas or 40 oz. beer bottles on the streets. Despite the freedom to drink in public, Spaniards tend to party responsibly!

  • Plaza San Salvador: Nicknamed "Salvador", this lively plaza is located behind Plaza Nueva in the center of town. Foreigners and locals mingle, eat, and drink until midnight when the bars in the plaza shut down, except for Bar Centro.
  • Calle Adriano: Located in the Arenal area, this is an extremely popular street in the winter and spring to hang out before going to late night discotecas. Most locals bring their own drinks and gather in large groups, an activity that is known as boteillonar.
  • La Carboneria: A local and tourist favorite to enjoy live music while sitting in the garden under gigantic rubber palm and bamboo trees. Live flamenco, jazz or blues starts around midnight, anyone's invited to play the piano in the front room where you'll also find a cozy stone fireplace. Look out for the bright red door on a quite side street. c/Levies
  • Cerveceria Internacional: This tavern takes pride in serving over 200 different beers, which is very uncommon in Sevilla! C/Gamazo, off of Plaza Nueva
  • Al-Andalus: Great place to enjoy music in honor of the Andalusian heritage. Duck in for an inspiring performance before heading out to the Santa Cruz tapas bars. Here is a link to Trip Advisor reviews and information about Al-Andalus.
