Things to do in Seville for 3 days- Version Halal

I finally visited the slow and tranquil city of Spain.  Everyone seemed chill and relaxed and whenever you passed by someone they never failed to say Hello. Walking down the twisty cobbled stoned city, I couldn’t help but notice how many orange trees there were. The city even smelled like oranges. Every corner of the city which at first felt like nothing was there was always accompanied with some sort of surprise, be it an underground hotel, a long corridor leading to a house or a flamenco tavern. I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in this citrus city, which was a fun-filled experience.  For your own exciting moment, I have created a 3-day guide to Seville version halal. The restaurants included are either Halal or Vegetarian or Seafood.

One of the best sunset views in Seville, Las Setas aka the Mushroom. It  is a perfect place to relax after a long day’s walking. Metroposol Las setas was built by Jürgen Mayer in order to renovate the Plaza de Encarnacion area in Seville. It is the largest wooden structure in the world.

This was my favorite part of Seville. The Alcazar palace is a gorgeous palace with colorful tiles and stylish Arabic writings on the walls, windows, and doors. It embodies mixtures of cultures and religions living together in harmony. If you are a history buff or you appreciate simple yet intricate designs, then this is the place for you! The palace is quite big so I’ll advise you to give yourself between 2-4 hours to explore.

Hammamm

Plaza de España: Gratis

Plaza de España

One of the 58 tiles in Plaza de España

My second favorite place after The Real Alcazar Palace is Plaza de España.  This serene yet regal complex was built in 1929 for the world trade fair in order to strengthen Spain’s relationship with Portugal and the rest of its colonies. 58 tile benches representing all the Spanish provinces were permanently constructed. Plaza de España is a great place to take a stroll, ride a boat, be entertained and take gorgeous Instagram-worthy pictures. Plaza de España could be found in the Maria Luisa garden
