But if you want to know the best places with all their letters, their names and surnames, keep reading.

Best places in the center of Seville for New Year's Eve

JOY Hostels

Let's start at the beginning, let's start with the best; JOY. The JOY hostel doesn't offer a good plan, but the best, it offers you THE plan. Imagine being surrounded by an international atmosphere, with a great desire to party, dance, have a good time and meet people.

As a start, it's not bad. Add to that a cheap dinner, for €40, with limited seating and high-quality food. So for that money you get a great atmosphere, a cozy place, with food so good you'll think your own grandmother made it and, if that weren't enough, a pub crawl included.

In case you're a bit lost, we'll tell you that pubcrawl is a route through the best bars in the city centre, with discounts and a guide. So you'll save yourself from wandering around in circles, you'll go straight to the heart of the matter, perhaps with the help of the best. But what more could you want? Here's the perfect plan.

Restaurants for New Year's Eve in Seville

In the heart of Seville's old town, with its very special atmosphere, we find the Casa del Tesorero restaurant, which is a must-visit place, without hesitation. Its Christmas menus are very complete, with details of local cuisine accompanied by top-quality wines.

The Abades Triana restaurant is well known for several reasons. Starting with the quality of the service and the food, and ending with its views of the Guadalquivir and its impressive terrace. It is a unique experience to visit it both on special dates and on a mid-year getaway. We don't need to say it, but just in case we remind you; make a reservation!

If you want something more modern, more up-to-date, go to La Azotea restaurant. Andalusian cuisine is king, but they give a twist to well-known dishes, giving them a new, more avant-garde touch. And no, the restaurant is not on a rooftop, we're warning you right now. This place is one of the most popular in the entire city of Seville.

New Year's Eve parties and clubs in Seville

Let's go to the party, our bellies are already full, and if you have decided to decline our JOY pubcrawl offer, too bad, we give you some names that are essential for a night in Seville, whether it is New Year's Eve or not.

Plaza Nueva is the nerve centre of the party and the best place to bid farewell to the year. It's like Puerta del Sol in Madrid, to draw a parallel and you can imagine the mess that can be made here.

If after all this you still feel like going to a club and dancing away the last of your energy, here are some very popular names.

The Abril Sevilla nightclub offers DJ sessions and live music to give this special night an even more magical tone, with a great atmosphere and good ticket and drink package deals. Take a look at their social networks if you want to keep up to date with everything.

The O'clock Sevilla nightclub is very well known today, among other things, for its quality music and theme parties. For New Year's Eve they offer special offers with discounts, they even offer bottles of champagne and more surprises and goodies. A very good option for New Year's Eve.

Very central and very close to JOY, is the Uthopía Sevilla nightclub, with one of the best shows of the night in Seville, you can't even imagine the mess they make on New Year's Eve. That's why it's one of the favorite stops on our pubcrawl. It has three floors, and on each one there's different music, in case you want to move in different environments, on the same night but without leaving the same club. In addition to its shows, its atmosphere, its good vibes and fantastic music, you should add its fireworks to the list. You read that right, they're really amazing.

And as all good things come to an end, this list could not be less. We put the end of the night, which is already good, at California Dreams Sevilla , with many surprises and fun, one of the most original and best valued places by the Sevillians.

And after all night of partying, there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed when you come to Seville, at JOY Hostels you have your home.

You completely ignore time and don't even know what Strava is or wear a sports watch. Seville also has the perfect marathon for you.

You might think we're selling you a bike, but we're not.

First, because we know that what you like is running and second, because we speak to you from the heart. From runner to runner. The Seville Marathon has become a must-see event on the calendar for national and international athletes looking to improve their personal best because its flat circuit is the flattest in Europe, at sea level and protected from the wind. In addition, the marathon is held at the end of February, with an ideal temperature for running and giving it your all. So if your idea is to go for your personal best, you know; think about your planning, series, long runs, nutrition, hydration, shoes with or without carbon plates... think about whatever you want, but this is your race.

Run between iconic monuments

The Seville Marathon route is a true feast for the senses. The Seville Marathon is held on a spectacular circuit, which runs through the monumental area by the most emblematic places in the city, such as the Plaza de España, the Torre del Oro, La Giralda, the Parque de María Luísa or the Maestranza. A route that allows you to discover the main monuments of our city at marathon pace.

Festive Atmosphere

Seville is joy and we are proud that something you will not miss is the warmth of our people. The Seville Marathon stands out for the festive atmosphere that surrounds the race and how we support the runners and carry them on our shoulders. Throughout the course, you will feel hundreds of spectators cheering you on, giving you that extra energy you need when your legs start to fail. The music bands, dance groups and live performances add a special touch that turns the race into a real party, as it could not be otherwise when talking about Seville and our people.

Tips for successfully competing in the Seville Marathon

It's not that we're going to give you advice that you haven't read or heard before, but it never hurts to review what we already know:

Relax

For most of us who face a marathon, the body starts to play tricks on us in the days leading up to it and we begin to have strange pains, discomforts... at first we ignore them. It's the brain that already begins to sabotage us to convince us not to run.

Take care of your diet and hydration

The days before, it is advisable to increase the carbohydrate and water intake. Having a two-litre bottle of water the day before to make sure we drink enough is not a bad idea. You already know what breakfast is like before the race; don't try anything new. Eat what you know works for you and what your stomach is used to. During the race, hydrate and nourish yourself as planned.

Don't let the dorsal effect betray you

Go out for a run as you planned. It's not about getting carried away by the back effect or getting down because you're overwhelmed by the atmosphere. Relax and enjoy it. Don't get overwhelmed by the crowd at the start of the race. If you start passing people by going from one side to the other, you're only going to waste energy that you'll need at the end.

Don't let blisters or chafing ruin your experience.

Use Vaseline or anti-chafing cream. For your feet, it's good to wear tight or anti-chafing socks, and it's also a good idea to combine them with anti-chafing cream. Wear clothes that you've used on long runs, preferably light-coloured and technical. It's about being as comfortable and dry as possible. There's no point in wearing brand new marathon shoes.

Warm up, you're leaving

It's a good idea to warm up a little before the race. This will allow you to feel good from the start. Don't overdo it either, because you have 42 km ahead of you. After the race, it's advisable to walk for a while because the day after the race life goes on and you'll need your legs to move around. Eat some protein, carbohydrates and, above all, hydrate yourself as if it were forbidden.

Sleep well

Rest is essential, especially in the days leading up to a marathon. Having a place that is close to the start will also help you reduce stress on the morning of the race. Here our recommendation is clear, our hostels JOY Setas Coworking and JOY Plaza de Armas will be your perfect ally to have a good place to rest before and after the race. We also have a pool where you can put your legs to relax them before the race or recover them afterwards.

Come to our Marathon and enjoy Seville

The Seville Marathon is much more than just a race; it is an unforgettable experience that combines sport, culture and community. If you are looking for a challenge that will take you through one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, don't think twice: sign up and experience the magic of Seville!

The Cathedral of Seville, the Giralda, the Torre del Oro, Casa de Pilatos, the Palacio de las Dueñas, the Alcázar of Seville and you don't have time for anything else. The day is already falling, darkness appears and there, my friend, you move like no one else.

At night, all cats are grey and you are preparing to make the most of Seville. But what does the Andalusian capital have to offer you? What will you find tonight?

Instead of asking people and asking Google, take our advice and get ready for a good night of dancing, drinking and meeting people with the best Pubcrawl.

What is Pubcrawl?

Wait a second, do we all know what we're talking about? We love a good English term. We love setting up a meeting by making a call for a briefing. Well, if we're talking about getting drunk, things don't change, Anglo-Saxon elegance still reigns.

Have you ever arrived home with such a pedal that your mother told you: you haven't missed a single altar yet? Well, if you had enough strength and balance, you could have said to her: No, Mom, I've been on a Pubcrawl.

What you've done is to close down bars and you haven't left a single one behind. Well, that's basically what Pubcrawl is. They put you together with a group of people who are just as keen on partying as you, and they take you on a tour of the best pubs and bars in the area.

Now this is a good excursion and not the Free Tour you took this afternoon.

Common elements in the Pubcrawl

There are several companies that organize Pubcrawl in Seville, and in the rest of the country. Each one designs different routes, taking into account the best options depending on the characteristics of the group that night.

Don't think that you're left alone with a list of bars as if you were going to the supermarket with your shopping list. Not at all. You're always accompanied by a guide, a true 21st century shepherd who leads his flock through the lively Seville nightlife.

The money you pay to do the Pubcrawl is not like an all-inclusive bracelet. That money pays for the organizing company, welcome shots, saving you the queue at the entrance in most cases and good discounts on the drinks you order.

Being part of a Pubcrawl ensures you get to visit the best bars in the area, the trendiest ones, and not just one, you'll be in a minimum of two or three bars or pubs. The night is yours.

Advantages of Pubcrawl

It can't all be good things, you might be thinking. Well yes. Let's talk about money first. If you do a Pubcrawl you're going to save quite a bit of money. You'll have VIP access without having to pay a VIP, plus the discount on the drinks and shots they give you.

Another advantage is the time you save. You won't wander around Seville lost, depending on the advice of someone you meet. You'll go in a team, guided by an expert on Seville's nightlife, who will take you to the perfect place.

Another of the great advantages of Pubcrawl is the atmosphere. You won't go to places with strange environments or people who don't suit you. First of all, you move in a group, with a group that will be made up of Erasmus students and couples who want to have a good time.

In addition to the great atmosphere within your group, with people looking for exactly the same thing as you, the bars you will visit will be ideal for making new friends, dancing and spending a unique night.

Unwritten rules and rabbits of Pubcrawl

Well, they weren't written down until now, when we had to come and put some order and sanity in the Pubcrawl World. How we love a word in English, Oh my God!

First of all, no matter how much you want to party and party, remember to bring your identification, ID or passport, credit card and some cash. Cash is always useful, you can never have too much.

Make yourself look good. That doesn't mean you have to suffer. The Pubcrawl takes you around Seville and sometimes the bars you visit aren't wall to wall, so wear comfortable shoes, but don't be tacky.

Enjoy the night and don't rush. Remember that you are a group of people, one will go to the bathroom, another to order a drink, another to try to flirt,... But you are a team, a fist, a united locker room. You move as a group and the group doesn't leave anyone behind. So if you have to leave, and you don't find a couple of companions, let the guide do his thing and enjoy the atmosphere.

Last but not least, pace. Don't get carried away, don't get heated, don't get into a fight with anyone else to drink more. Drinking is like riding a bike; everyone has their own pace and if you try to keep up with someone else, they will destroy you. Word from Pubcrawl.

Seville's rich tapestry of culture, traditions and curiosities offer a unique insight into its soul. Here are some fascinating facts about Seville that go beyond its famous landmarks and reveal the vibrant essence of this Andalusian gem.

The scent of the orange blossoms, known as "azahar", is a charming feature of the city, especially in spring.

3. The spiritual home of flamenco

Although flamenco is popular throughout Spain, its spiritual home is in Seville. This exciting art of music and dance has deep roots in the city, especially in the Triana neighborhood.

Attending a flamenco show in Seville is an immersive experience that offers a deep connection to Andalusian culture.

4. A culinary delight: Salmorejo

Seville is known for its delicious regional cuisine, and one dish that stands out is salmorejo. This cold, creamy tomato soup is similar to gazpacho but thicker and richer.

It's a must-try for any foodie visiting the city.

5. The longest Holy Week processions

Holy Week in Seville is one of the most elaborate and well-known in Spain. The processions during this week are notable for their length and intensity. Some last up to 14 hours and involve thousands of people carrying enormous, intricately designed floats. These floats depict scenes from the Passion of Christ and are carried through the streets by "costaleros," who bear the weight on their shoulders.

6. The oldest operating room in Spain

The Teatro de la Maestranza, Seville's main opera house, is one of the oldest operating theatres in Spain. It opened in 1841 and has been a hub for cultural events such as opera, ballet and classical music concerts ever since. The theatre's grand architecture and acoustics make it a revered venue for artists and audiences alike.

7. April Fair

Seville's April Fair is one of the most vibrant and colourful in Spain. Held two weeks after Easter, it transforms the city into a lively spectacle of flamenco, bullfighting and fairground rides.

It's a week-long celebration of Sevillian culture and a fantastic time to experience the city's festive spirit.

8. The first tobacco factory in Europe

The Royal Tobacco Factory of Seville was the first of its kind in Europe and one of the largest industrial buildings of its time. Built in the 18th century, it now houses the University of Seville. This historic building is famous for being associated with Georges Bizet's opera "Carmen", as the protagonist Carmen worked in the factory as a tobacco worker.

9. A city of festivals

Seville is a city that loves to celebrate, with festivals taking place throughout the year. In addition to Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril, there are many other celebrations such as the Bienal de Flamenco, a prestigious flamenco festival held every two years, and the Seville European Film Festival, which showcases the best of European cinema. These events showcase the cultural richness of the city and the zest for life of its inhabitants.

10. The climate of Seville

Seville is one of the hottest cities in Europe, with summer temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F). This extreme heat has influenced many aspects of daily life in Seville, including the traditional siesta, in which shops close in the afternoon to allow residents to rest during the hottest part of the day.
