Christmas Markets
Feria del Belén, Seville
Seville offers visitors a different kind of Christmas market, specializing only in figurines and sets for Nativity scenes, known as Beléns in Spanish. Extremely delicate and intricate, you can buy anything from Mary, Joseph and The Three Kings to mini market places, shepherds, and even moving water wheels. Located in the historic centre, near the Cathedral, it runs from November 18th to December 23rd.
Mercado Navideño de Artesanía de Sevilla
Seville’s other Christmas market is a more traditional Christmas market affair, yet focusing on handicrafts and handmade gifts. Taking place on Plaza Nueva, it features an array of modern-style booths, where you can stock up on a variety of gifts. It’s particularly good for ceramics, for which the city is famous. The market runs from December 15th to January 5th.

Walking Tour
Seville’s historic center (see Figure 2 & Video 2) is quite large—about a mile wide by 1.5 miles long, riddled with countless little alleys and important landmarks. You can discover it on foot if you are selective and seek out the particular attractions that most appeal to your interests.
An excellent central location to start your first walking tour is between the Cathedral and Alcazar palace in the Plaza del Triunfo. Many of the town’s main attractions can be easily reached from this central space, making it convenient for you to pick a direction, any direction, and go.
Starting out at Plaza Nueva, the most popular place in town. This central area with the plaza and the streets leading to it is really the heart and the focal point of the city. Notice the broad street that is for pedestrians, bicycles, no cars allowed, and the tram. Seville has a recently installed modern tram system that really is a great way to move people around. This neighborhood along Constitution Avenue has been entirely transformed by the tram service
Plaza Nueva is just one block over from the main pedestrian street of town which leads right into the shopping district -- Calle Sierpes, lined with the best shopping and liveliest atmosphere, especially in the late afternoon when the locals are out enjoying their traditional stroll.
