A Gen Z guide to Seville: the place to be for €2 beers, tapas and affordable-luxe hotels

Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza and Marbella are where my generation tends to flock for a good time in the sunshine on semi-decent dime. All fantastic Spanish cities in their own right, though I’m here to tell you why you should trade-up these over-touristy and rather pretentious cultural capitals and jet-set to Seville instead.

Steeped in fascinating culture and religious history, Seville is unlike anywhere else in Spain. It’s not obsessed with trendiness and locals seem to have their own thing going on. They’re more traditional, always smiling, endlessly helpful and making the quintessentially Spanish, laid-back style of living seem more appealing than ever. This is particularly refreshing given that other cities in the region such as Málaga, Granada and Cádiz face backlash from locals for overtourism.
