Seville is a city which is a tad special. Although fully European, it hasn´t lost its idiosyncrasy. And if there´s an object which symbolizes Andalucian and Seville´s essence that is, without doubt, the fan. A fan which, in the past, trespassed the concept of fashion complement to become a true way of seduction, and it´s always present in the wardrobes of the women of Seville: from the most modern to the most classic, from the grandmother to the granddaughter. You can find them for all occasions, and there are Sevillian women who have various models with different colours to adapt it to their chosen appearance.
At the Abanicos Díaz shop on Calle Sierpes, ´abanico´ means fan in Spanish, you can find exquisite hand-painted fans. You can´t miss the shop because it´s right in the city centre, on the shopping street par excellence. Many of them are unique models, which mix vibrant colours with different materials. The shop assistants will take all the different models out from their boxes with patience, boxes which can be true works of art. If you also travel during a hot time of year, as soon as you get to your apartments in Seville you will need a fan. Even so, you can take one or more back home with you.
