- Many sights, including the Plaza de España, the parks, Santa Cruz, the Archivo de Indias and the Macarena basilica, are free.
- Hotel prices rise sharply during Holy Week and the April Fair; avoid those weeks if price matters.
- July and August bring the lowest hotel rates, if you can handle the heat.
- Lunchtime menús del día in local bars give two courses and a drink for a modest fixed price.
Free things to do
- Plaza de España — Aníbal González's semicircular brick-and-tile complex was built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition.
- Parque de María Luisa — Seville's main park is a shady landscape of palms, orange trees, ponds, tiled benches and fountains laid out for the 1929 Exposition.
- Barrio Santa Cruz lanes — The old Jewish quarter is a maze of narrow streets such as Callejón del Agua along the Alcázar walls and the tiny Calle Susona, opening onto squares with orange trees and tiled benches.
- Triana and the Mercado de Triana — Cross the Puente de Isabel II to Triana, where the covered market on the riverbank sits over the excavated remains of the Castillo de San Jorge, once the seat of the Inquisition.
- Basílica de la Macarena — This modern basilica holds the Virgen de la Esperanza Macarena, the most venerated image in Seville, which is carried through the streets in the early hours of Good Friday during Holy Week.
- Archivo General de Indias — Built in the 16th century as a merchants' exchange, this Renaissance building between the Cathedral and the Alcázar now stores documents on Spain's empire in the Americas and the Philippines.
