Reales Alcázares de Sevilla
This world heritage monument was one of the more active royal castles of Europe. Its buildings have been reformed by different architectural styles as Islamic, gothic and baroque, and were home of the royal Spanish krone. Even nowadays, the upper levels of the Alcázar are used by the royal family when they come to Seville!
This mixture of styles have left a beautiful bunch of elements that are a must to photograph. Specifically in its main inner garden, you can find a lovely set of gothic arches that will make you enjoy photographing them. Don´t leave the Alcazar without visiting the vault!
Plaza de Doña Elvira
This hidden place of Seville can presume of being the most popular square of the whole Barrio de Santa Cruz. Its fountain, surrounded by ceramic benches and guarded by orange trees, make it a lovely place to spend your time and take a lot of pictures.
One of the best times to visit this square is in the spring, due to the azahar: the flower of orange trees that is blooming during this part of the year. So if you are visiting Seville during Holy Week you can´t miss the chance to visit this Plaza de Doña Elvira. You will be captivated by the smell of azahar and won´t want to leave this place.

Barrio de Triana
In the old times, this fishermen neighborhood was one of the humblest and poorest of the city. Nowadays, it is the loveliest and favorite place for many sevillanos to spend a day with friends. With its popular Isabel II Bridge, better known as the Triana´s Bridge, this place represents as its best the charm and spontaneity of Sevilla.
Around the streets of Triana you will find ideal snapshots to immortalize your experience in Seville with a photography album.
