What to do if you're staying at Casa Numero 7.
WHERE TO GO
Del Rìo y González-Gordon has made a systematic survey of Seville's tapas bars. His top two are El Rincón del Arroz (19 Avda. Ramón Carande; 34/954-628-172), which has especially good seafood, and El Giralda (1 Calle Mateos Gago; 34/954-563-702).
MONTANO PIRANESI (52 Calle Trajano; 34/954-381-703) Spanish antiques don't get any grander than at the shop of Manuel Morales de Jódar, owner of the hotel Palacio de San Benito in Cazalla de la Sierra.
CASA DE LA MEMORIA DE AL-ANDALUS (28 Calle Ximénez de Enciso; 34/954-560-670) You can lose a lot of time (and see a lot of bad castanet-clacking) sorting through the dozens of flamenco venues in the city. Sevillians who are aficionados of the dance attend performances here.
EL MERCADILLO DEL JUEVES FLEA MARKET (Calle Feria) As the saying goes, if you snooze, you lose. So get here earlyabout eight o'clock on Thursday mornings.
FÉLIX CARTELISMO (26 Avda. de la Constitución; 34/954-218-026) Is there a visitor to Seville who hasn't coveted a vintage feria poster? Start your collection at Felix.
