The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs is one of the most visited museums in the city, not only for its different works and collections that it has inside but also for the construction of the building that, for many, is one of the most beautiful in Sevilla. The place was built in 1929 by Aníbal González for the Ibero-American Exhbition and was used at that moment as the Industrial Art Pavillion. The place is famous for its bricks, tiles and big balconies. Also the museum is separated in two parts and here the contents are well differentiated. On one side there´s the basement in which they try to recreate the traditional Spanish trades like the Spanish guitar maker, potter, hatter, baker, blacksmith or carver. The lower floor is full of different furniture both of important and rich people as from people who had to go out to work to earn their money. Finally you can find different costumes and “mantillas” of the women of that period. The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs is one of the most known and famous of the Spanish city.

In one of the most beautiful constructions in Sevilla, there´s the Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija that is one of the most important museums in Sevilla and, for that reason, it´s visited by practically all the tourists that set foot in the city. The Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija was built in the 15th century and despite being one of the first manor houses, after so many reconstructions that it´s gone through, few remains are left from that time. The palace has the shape that it possesses today after that, in the 20th century, Countess Regla Manjón ordered the reconstruction project. The Countress of Lebrija was the one that found a large quantity of Roman objects to decorate the house. Among them there´s the marble pavement of the hallway, which is one of the most valued objects in the palace.

Spanish people like to eat well and in Sevilla one can find the best typical restaurants of the area with dishes that will make you remember Spain fondly. The Restaurante San Marcos is one of the best in the city of Sevilla, not only because of its service or the quality of its food, but also because of the atmosphere and the decorations of its lounges. The restaurant is housed in an old building and the owners work hard to keep the essence of the place without remodelling it or changing anything, just keeping it nice. This is important because if one finds himself in the old part of town, with plenty or history, they can also go to eat at places that remind them of this situation and that, above all, have a relaxed atmosphere to eat calmly while they enjoy a chat with friends or with their partner. The Restaurante San Marcos offers executive menus, menus for couples and special “gala” dishes. Big groups can make reservations and they will keep the best table for when they arrive. Prices go from 25 euros per person and everyone can access the delicious and not so expensive dishes. If you want to try real Spanish and Sevillan food, get Seville accommodation and invite your partner for supper at the best restaurant in the...

From the 27th of May onwards, the Fundación Tapies of Barcelona exhibits Historia de Archivo of the conceptual Spanish artist Pere Noguera. The exposition takes Nogueras interesting art works based on photographs of the seventies shot by anonymous, amateur and professional photographers which that artist distort and cogitates on the process that embodies the fabrication of photographic images. Pere Noguera was born in La Bisbal in 1941, he is one of the most outstanding representations of the seventies avant garde art that transmuted into the nineties with visual art works that reflect the political social disenchantment of this generation and that materializes in the conformism of society more involved in consuming than worrying about the genuine problems of societies. Noguera is in eternal confrontation with what is transitory and the with what is permanent and he manifests this concern thru the dematerialization of the artistic object. His art uses simple materials like mud, old photos, rocks and objects that he picks up like cardboard etc, but, the profundity of his concepts and his critical look at society is in every element that he transforms, giving poetic breadth to his art One of his favorite materials is ceramic, which has childlike reminiscence and it connects you to the innocence of an era. This material is an important element of his pursuit to escape from the monotony of the material he uses In his eternal speech, actually more of a conversation with the viewer than a speech, irony plays a fundamental role and it is completed thru the decontextualization of the material which the object is made from. Just like Duchamp...
