Should you find yourself in Seville next year (and I highly reccomend that you do) there are a few places that need to be on your list. Most embarrassingly on ours was Zara, where the best deal are the silk and cashmere sweaters and cardigans for 40 euros each.  More traditionally are the tapas bars for delicous things like baby fava beans with jambon, or slices of jambon de Serrano which is so good, endless little dishes of delicious things come, and all the bars are pretty good.  We had dinner in a wonderful fish restaurant called Mariscos Emilio, tapas and cold red wine (vino tinto frio) at Bar Manolo Alfalfa in Plaza de la Alfalfa, both were very good even though they look quite ordinary.

For shopping there are wonderful places to buy Fedoras: Sombrereria Maqedano on Sierpes, 40 in Seville, but for home stuff you musn't leave without going to Populart on Pasaje de Vila, 4 also in the centre of town. As you can see in the window they sell the most beautiful old ceramics which are the perfect, if not the only sort, of souvenir one wants.
