Choosing the perfect setting for a first date in Seville can be a headache. With a city full of possibilities and an endless number of charming corners, choosing can become a hard task, especially if you want to avoid falling into clichés, overly hackneyed places or possible lock-ins.
A first meeting asks for an environment that facilitates the connection and that meets certain parameters: that invites you to stay, that allows you a discreet withdrawal in the worst case, that adapts to any scenario and that, of course, does not compromise your savings. The good news is that there are many of these in Seville! Discover them with us:
1. Plaza del Cabildo
This semicircular square is accessed from Avenida de la Constitución and Arfe Street. Currently, it is the headquarters of philately and numismatics in Seville and space where the Sunday philatelic flea market is held.
One can refer to the images to recognize that this postcard corner is ideal for a romantic date. Even for a walk with oneself, which in turn is one of the most romantic plans that we can give ourselves.
📍Access by Avenida de la Constitución or Febo street.
2. Feria Street
Calle Feria, neuralgic center of the noble art of squeezing the street, infinite promenade in which projects with tradition and others housed in modernity are articulated. Fusions with the soul of the neighborhood that, why deceive us, conquer anyone.
Albertucho wanted to say, between veiled verses of spring, that in Feria street you had to live Seville and in this article we dedicate ourselves to it in depth.
Thus, this busy street seems to be the perfect place to have a first date in Seville. It also meets several requirements: it is long enough to walk it without major distraction that the other person and has a good amount of spaces in which to stop in company.

3. Neighborhood of Santa Cruz
The sound of water reverberates in the fountains of Santa Cruz, in its bends and charming little squares. Any of its streets make up a bucolic picture and full of romanticism, if that is what is expected of them.
But the Jewish quarter is much more. Crossing the small passageway of the Patio de Banderas means getting involved with the neighborhood, letting yourself get lost, nourished by the sound of the guitar, the return of the neighbor, the orange blossom.
Walking through Santa Cruz is a privilege and a gift that tourists and Sevillians share, and its beauty is one of the virtues that make this neighborhood an essential to walk through as a couple. Undoubtedly, one of our favorite options as far as romantic places are concerned.

4. Candlelight Concerts
Some may think that a candlelight concert is not the kind of thing to do on a first date, but let’s be honest, booking a table at a chain restaurant is much less so.
Going to a Candlelight evening, besides being romantic, is a unique experience that will invite you to discuss your impressions as soon as it’s over. “I had never seen a live string quartet before and I loved it.” “I never imagined that I could like a piano version of this song so much”.
It will surprise you, that’s for sure. And, regardless of how it ends up for you, I’m sure you’ll keep a beautiful memory forever. Because if you listen to us, it’s a beautiful song.

6. Terrazas in Seville: a first date in style
The Andalusian capital has that particular absorption capacity difficult to avoid, no matter how skeptical one is to get carried away. And the terraces in Seville, full of people and everywhere fill the city with the desire to hang out under the sun, under the stars, under the sails.
There are terraces for all tastes, from the cosmopolitan to the most bohemian and all of them have that something that makes us happy (even if they lead us to the irrevocable effect of postureo).
If you have not been to all of them, congratulations and if you have not been to any of them yet, it is a good time to get some drinks in good company.

7. Feria Market
The Feria Street Market is a must stop for anyone who likes to savor the city. The bustle, the gastronomic life and its history, which dates back to 1719, are just some of its virtues. It stands on the Plaza de Calderón de la Barca between two important buildings: the Palace of the Marquises of Algaba and the Church of Omnium Sanctorum.
Going to the Mercado de Feria on the weekend is the best way to immerse yourself in the gastronomic atmosphere of Seville and, incidentally, taste a more international cuisine without leaving the premises. In addition, this offers you the opportunity to put on the table a good assortment of options so that your date does not skimp and choose in which of all these businesses you start the meeting.

8. Beers in El Rinconcillo
El Rinconcillo has witnessed the passage of time and adds centuries of history to its annals as one of the bars of reference in Seville. Great artists have passed through here and it has been a film set in movies like Sangre y arena. You will not miss a first date in Seville going to the classics.
The most incredible thing is that no matter the centuries that pass because its traditional food does not lose its good taste. Undoubtedly, the Rinconcillo is one of those infallible classics as well as one of the most charming restaurants in Seville. For all of the above, and because its pavías de bacalao should be listed as a World Heritage Site, it is worth a visit.

9. Panorama Academy
Academia Panorama in Seville is a cultural space that offers a variety of events and creative activities, becoming a meeting point for those looking to develop their artistic skills, participate in cultural workshops or simply enjoy social and recreational events.
One of the featured events is‘Neon Brush’, a unique painting workshop using fluorescent paints in a vibrant environment with neon lights, music and refreshing drinks. Guided by an artist, participants can create their own masterpiece while enjoying a fun and interactive experience. Quite an interesting plan for special dates, providing a unique opportunity to explore art and creativity in the heart of the city.
10. Snack plan: chocolate palmeras
Chocolate palmeras do not understand rules or sizes and much less in Seville. There are all kinds: extra large, with original flavors, classic palmeritas, industrial, more compact or puff pastry. In any case, accepting that palmeras bring us closer to excess sugar is a good starting point. At least we will get this sweet sin without feeling too guilty.
Going out for a snack is one of those seamless first dates where you can prolong the afternoon with sweets and coffees or give yourself the urgency to finish it as you liquidize one of these delicious chocolate palmeras.
