Sevillian culture
Seville (also known as Sevilla) is the capital of Andalucía — the Spanish community known for its flamenco dancing, rattling guitars, and ancient history. This gorgeous city has been around for over 2,200 years, and it is even said that the mythological hero Hercules himself founded the city; isn’t that exciting?
When we talk about culture in Seville, we talk about flamenco — an art form which is taking to its maximum expression in Seville. This city is one of Spain's most popular destinations, home to some of the country's famed traditions, including flamenco and bullfighting. The picturesque town is world-famous for its enticing mix of Moorish, Christian, and Jewish architecture and history, as well as some of the most delicious tapas found in southern Spain.
History of the house
Hotel Casa 1800 Seville has a history dating back to the beginning of the 19th century; its time of greatest splendor. Fascinatingly, it was actually the home of the notable mayor of the city of Seville for four years, Jose María Piñar y Miura.
This palace-house was built in 1864 and was spread across three floors, each of which were flooded with light which streamed in from the central patio. It also has a terrace, where the swimming pool and solariums are located, with boasts spectacular views of the imposing Cathedral of Seville and its famous bell tower, La Giralda. It also offers views of the bell towers located in the old Jewish quarter of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, the battlements, the trees of the gardens of the Real Alcázar and even the towers of the Plaza de España in El Parque de María Luisa.
After two years of meticulous restoration in which the original architectural elements have been maximized and the spirit of the time has been respected in its sumptuous decoration, it has been possible to make this palace-house a unique hotel with a lot of charm, where you can relive its glory days in perfect balance with the most advanced technology of today.

Culinary Marvels
As a city known for its food and culture, Seville has some of the best ingredients the planet has to offer. Don’t miss these distinguished tastes and even bring some of them back home with you!
Oranges
On almost every street and avenue in Seville you will find orange trees, and during the winter and springtime time if you cannot see them, you can definitely smell them. With thousands of trees scattered throughout the city, this fruit has become iconic to Seville’s style and cuisine, incorporated into all types of dishes both sweet and savory.
Iberian Ham
The black Iberian pig, as the name suggests, is indigenous to the Iberian peninsula — specifically the southern regions. The Iberian ham carries just as much of Seville’s history as it does flavor, and you will find the iconic ham hanging in the windows of butchers throughout the city and its markets.
Olive Oil
It is virtually impossible to have a meal in Andalucia and avoid this important ingredient in Spanish cuisine. As the largest producer of the product, Spain has over a thousand variations of Olive oil and has incorporated it into almost every dish the city has to offer.
Wines
The wide variety of wine shops and tasting events in the city demonstrate Seville’s love and appreciation for the drink (which is unsurprising given it is the world’s third-largest producer). You also cannot leave Andalucia without trying the Sherry that it’s known for.
