Plaza de España in Seville, with its canal and bridges
Seville · Where to stay

Staying in Alfalfa, Seville

Plaza de la Alfalfa makes a useful starting point, but check the exact street before choosing a room. A bedroom over a terrace has a different rhythm from one facing an internal courtyard. Calle Pérez Galdós leads toward the northern center, while the streets around Plaza del Salvador help you connect with the main shopping routes.
