Real fans can also visit the Museo del Baile Flamenco.
As anywhere in Andalusia, the food is marvelous in Sevilla and it won’t be hard to find a restaurant with some excellent tapas. At nighttime Sevilla comes to life, especially in the weekends when bars and clubs get crowded. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday night youngsters gather next to the river and hang out prior to going out. There are a couple of open air clubs right next to the river. Fabulous!
