Sports and leisure activities Province Of Seville

Taken over in 2003 by Manuel Betanzos, this flamenco school has been very successful, certainly due to its energetic and talented personality. The school has 2 classrooms, a studio, 3 professional levels and 3 beginner levels. During the choreography, external contributors (singers and guitarists) accompany the students, generally twice a week. Each group is made up of an average of twenty people.

Located in a very bright building, this studio has three levels, with participants from different worlds, including Ursula López, Rosario Toledo, Vicky Barea or Leonor Leal. The attendance is more Spanish than foreign. The classes begin with stretching, more technical than at the Betanzos academy. In general, the school is more technical than the Betanzos Academy, which is more theatrical. It would be ideal to try both before deciding.

Located on the island of La Cartuja, it can accommodate over 57,000 spectators, making it the second-largest stadium in Andalusia and the fifth-largest in Spain. It was inaugurated in May 1999 to host that year's World Athletics Championships and to consolidate Seville's bid for the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. After renovation work, it was reopened in 2020 as a multi-purpose venue for major sporting and stage events, as well as serving as headquarters for numerous companies and organizations. In terms of major sporting events, in 2020 it hosted four Euro 2020 matches (three Group E matches and one round-of-16 match), as well as the finals of Footfall's Copa del Rey. On the rugby side, it hosted the final of the Copa del Rey de Rugby in 2022. Dedicated to ball sports, it also hosted the 1999 World Athletics Championships and two of the four Davis Cup finals held in Spain (the other two were held at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi). It's also a sell-out venue for major concerts, hosting Madonna, U2, Dépeche Mode, Bruce Spingsteen and AC/DC, and for electronic music festivals featuring top DJs, such as the breakbeatfestival (Spain's biggest). And, of course, theOperación Triunfo, Spain's equivalent of Star Ac, also plays host to concerts.

Located in a 16th century hacienda, unique in Spain, this centre offers horseback riding lessons and also has an inn to accommodate its students. The training courses are aimed at riders of all levels but the training will be in Spanish or English. Four options to choose from: horseback riding holidays, intensive courses, intensive dressage with Rafael Soto, silver medallist at the Olympic Games in Athens and classical dressage with training in a secondary school.

Founded in 1994, this Taller Flamenco is a school located in the neighborhood of La Macarena, not far from the plaza Alameda de Hércules. Throughout the year, it offers several types of classes: flamenco dance, guitar, singing, etc., which are also open to foreigners. Each class is held in small groups of no more than seven people. Whatever your level, the school also offers private lessons. Finally, this school can also provide valuable assistance in finding accommodation, whether it be apartments or shared rooms.

For those who can't stand still in the city, this agency has everything covered: although it offers a guided tour of Seville, it also prepares excursions in small groups on hiking trails, on foot, but above all on mountain bikes, in the Sevillian countryside (during the week), and in the mountains (at weekends). Tours (Sierra Norte, Marisma de Doñana, Sierra Sur or Camino del Rocío...) are generally less than 30 km long, but there are also opportunities for longer tours over several days (especially during bank holidays).
