The Seville Travel Guide With Elisa Serrano & Elena Brotons
A city steeped in culture, colour and texture is one best explored through local recommendations. Below, #FAITHFULLGirls Elisa Serrano and Elena Brotons share their favourite morning coffee routines, neighbourhood tavernas and vintage stores to covet when spending a weekend in Seville, Spain.
Where to find your morning coffee
A beautiful cafe next to the hotel of the same name, where you can also have breakfast in its inner courtyard. Their jamóntoast is delicious.
The perfect stop-in for a takeaway coffee that can carry you through a morning wandering the neighbourhood streets of El Arenal.
An iconic pastry shop in the heart of Seville you must visit for a morning pastry. Our favourite being their egg-yolk sweet.
Where to explore

A beautiful 15th-century palace belonging to the Dukes of Medinaceli, blending Mudéjar, Gothic and Renaissance elements, with colourful gardens and stunning tiled courtyards.
