Meander along the cobblestone streets of sunny Seville that you won't find in guidebooks, thanks to your local host with a nose for hidden gems — such as the Patio de las Banderas for scenic cathedral views, minus the crowd. Stay in the heart of the city in the vibrant Santa Cruz neighborhood, where you can stumble upon hidden patios bursting with history, or stop by a charming Hostería, said to have inspired a world-famous play. Perhaps you’re keen for an Alice in Wonderland-type of adventure at a secret tapas bar, or would like to discover a secluded street where locals gather for tapas — find out where to grab the best papas bravas during your trip, and ask your host for the best spot for a glass of orange wine; it's five o'clock somewhere!

Bask in the beauty of sun-soaked Seville like a true local, as you wander off the beaten track of the city center with the help of your host who knows all the hidden gems. Meander along the backstreets of colorful Santa Cruz to discover the spooky secrets of La Susona, then pop on over to the Plaza Doña Elvira to escape the city rush with a stroll along the picturesque square that has a romantic backstory. After a dose of tranquility, jump right into action with a short stroll to the hidden alley Calle Judería — hello, Instagram moment — where you'll be around the corner from Callejón del Agua, also known as the water alley. Next, escape to the eastern edge of the neighborhood to admire the architecture of Jardines del Murillo — magnífico!
