Seville is without a doubt my favourite European city. It is perhaps the only city I've visited which "feels" like a village. The pace of life is slow, the shops are often small and local, everything is walkable within the centre.The best bits of Seville:

• eating tapas
• climbing to the top of the Giralda for a view of the city
• river cruises
• shopping.

There are plenty of designer boutiques.Recommendations:

• Hotel Cervantes - quiet, back street, nice food, good service, needs air-conditioning
• Hotel La Rabida - rather upmarket, but very traditional. Not a lot of choices if you don't want the full meal
• Hotel Catalonia Giralda - this chain of hotels is probably the cleanest, most modern in Spain

Bar Europa - lovely little tapas bar with plenty of more unusual choices. Try the ajoblanco or the pate de perdiz
