PLACE ALAMEDA DE HÉRCULES
Go there and contact
The place de la Alameda de Hércules is an undeniable promenade in Seville. Alameda means «walk». Hercules, for his part, would be according to legend the founder of the city. We owe this place to the Count of Barajas who, in 1574, planted deciduous trees and built beautiful fountains on ancient marshy lands. He had erected two columns from the Roman temple of rue Mármoles, which were crowned with sculptures by Julius Caesar and Hercules. The other two columns, with lions bearing a shield, were formed in the second half of the eighteenth century. Today, the Alameda is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Seville thanks to its bars and cafés that encircle the square. Its bohemian atmosphere makes it unique.

Toujours beaucoup d'espagnols dans les bistrots de cet endroit très populaire ou l'authenticité est beaucoup plus forte que dans les endroits plus touristiques.
Le tarif des commerces qui la bordent est tout à fait raisonnable (rien à voir avec la rue Sierpe par exemple)
En fait, l'endroit est assez simple, si ce n'est les colonnes qui l'égayent un peu.
En revanche, il y a du monde quelle que soit l'heure, vous trouverez toujours un bar ouvert et les prix défient toute concurrence comparé à la France!
