Doing as the locals do is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture of a city and in Seville, tapas is a part of daily life. Seville lays claim to being the birthplace of tapas, with the story being that it started at a farmer\u2019s bar, where beer and sherry were served with a saucer on top to keep flies out, then realising the saucer could be filled out with ham, olives, and cheese. With the word \u2018tapas\u2019 literally meaning lid or cover, one can see how this story came about.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Whatever the true origins may be, make sure you head to one of Seville\u2019s many lovely bars for a taste of the local tapas and a refreshing beverage.

Popular traditional dishes here include spinach and chickpeas, acorn-fed Iberico ham, and lots of fried croquettes. Pringa\u2014a pork stew spread\u2014is served between slices of bread. And don\u2019t miss the boquerones (white anchovies)! Served with lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, these are completely different than the anchovies you\u2019ll find in other areas. For a truly authentic experience dipping into Sevilla\u2019s tapas culture, head directly to El Rinconcillo. This restaurant, which opened in 1670, feels like stepping into a time capsule and the tapas never disappoint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generated-id-5\">Seville is home to wonderful festivals<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/7f\/07\/80\/7f0780fc1f1b915b93bd4ff6c62a0011.jpg\" alt=\"Seville festival\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/seville-spain-apr-25-people-walking-583280914\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Shutterstock<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>They know how to do festivals right in Seville with the city being home to some incredible celebrations of local culture. Two of the best known are Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. Semana Santa is the city\u2019s Holy Week celebrations, starting on Palm Sunday up until Easter itself. Anyone who has been to this part of the world knows what a truly special occasion Holy Week is with its incredible processions, beautiful floats, and high emotion.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Feria de Abril arrives two weeks after the Holy Week festivities and is known as the fair to end all fairs.

It&#8217;s been going since 1846 but became the big event that it is today in the 1920s. For visitors who aren\u2019t locals, over recent years the tourist board has made the Feria de Abril more accessible to foreign visitors. Known because many of the casetas (booths) are private and by invitation only, there are more casetas that are open to visitors now than in previous years.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cSpread over 450,000 m\u00b2, the fairground is separated into areas of attractions like waltzers, merry-go-rounds and a funfair. The other areas are marquees with food, drink and dancing. The locals take a lot of effort to wear traditional flamenco dresses. So, if you want to join in the fun you can accessorize by wearing one of the typical mantillas (coloured shawls) and a flower in your hair. A bit of colour without the expense of the whole outfit.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Feria de Abril will be back in 2022 after being absent due to the global health crisis, and it will be a party that you will not want to miss.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"generated-id-6\">Seville is Christopher Columbus\u2019 final resting place<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>At Seville\u2019s Cathedral, the famed explorer Christopher Columbus is laid to rest. After his death in 1506, Columbus was first buried in Valladolid. The explorer was to be moved three more times, including to the Dominican Republic and then Cuba before finally finding his permanent grave in Seville\u2019s grand cathedral.

But what does it mean? It translates to &#8220;She has not abandoned me\u201d, a reference to the city of Seville itself, from the point of view of King Alfonso X, who was in a battle for the throne during the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century, and Seville was rewarded for its loyalty to the king.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>But why the number 8?
