Once the bustling home of Seville’s port, ammunition works and artillery headquarters, El Arenal is now best known for its bullring, the majestic Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza. El Arenal is a popular nightlife hub year-round, but during the bullfighting season the area’s bars and restaurants are especially packed. The riverfront is dominated by one of Seville’s best-known monuments, the Moorish Torre del Oro, while the long, tree-lined promenade beside the Paseo de Cristóbal Colón is perfect for a slow, romantic walk along the Guadalquivir.
