Playa las Arenas / Cabanyal
This beach is neatly divided into 2 parts. The southern end of the beach is part of the city itself and is alive with activity and things to do. Promenades, restaurants and bars litter the edge and whenever there is an event or activity being held, it happens here. Further north more sunbathing gets done as the beach gradually evolves into the Malvarossa beach, another popular spot with locals and tourists alike.

Seville is a popular place to undertake a Spanish language course. The schools are first rate and often provide plenty of after hours activities and the city itself is vibrant and full of life.
