Arrive at Seville Airport, pick up your rental car, and drive a short distance to your central accommodation — ideally in the Santa Cruz or Alameda neighborhood to be within walking distance of both historic sights and street art. After check-in and a quick freshen-up, take a gentle orientation stroll along the Guadalquivir River toward the Torre del Oro to feel the city’s rhythm and get your first glimpses of Andalusian architecture and riverside terraces.
Park the car and wander the Alameda de Hércules area to start your graffiti hunt: explore streets like Calle Feria and the lanes around Plaza de la Alfalfa for vivid murals and stencil work by local artists; pop into Mercado de la Feria for a glass of local orange juice or artisan coffee and to scout ingredients and small bites for later. If time allows, visit the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo on the Isla de la Cartuja for rotating urban-art exhibitions that set the tone for the graffiti-focused days ahead.
As the sun sets, return to your hotel to change for dinner and drive or walk to the rooftop bar at EME Catedral Hotel or Hotel Doña María for a sundowner with unbeatable views of Seville Cathedral and Giralda — a perfect welcome toast. For dinner like a local, head to Casa Morales or Bodeguita Romero for hearty tapas (try salmorejo, montaditos, and espinacas con garbanzos), keeping your meal relaxed and late-night in true Andalusian fashion; afterward wander the cathedral quarter to soak up the atmospheric lamp-lit streets before turning in, ready for tomorrow’s deeper street-art exploration.
Start your day with a local breakfast (café con leche and a tostada) near Alameda de Hércules, then dive into a guided—or self-led—graffiti hunt through Calle Feria, Callejón del Agua and the lanes around Plaza de la Alfalfa where colorful murals, stencils and paste-ups illustrate Seville’s contemporary pulse. Pause at Mercado de la Feria to sample fresh fruit or a cold orange juice and chat with stallholders about neighborhood art projects before continuing to the Callejón de la Condesa for up-and-coming street artists’ work.
After lunching lightly at a nearby taberna (try montadito de pringá), cross toward Triana for a contrast: explore the riverside ceramics workshops and the more industrial, ever-evolving street-art stretches around the Cartuja Bridge and Calle Betis. Stop by Espacio Santa Clara or the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo if an exhibition catches your eye, and wander back toward the historic center through the Jardines de Murillo to see how urban art bleeds into Seville’s oldest quarters.
Return to the hotel to freshen up, then dine like a local in the historic center — consider La Azotea or Taberna Álvaro Peregil for carefully sourced plates of tuna, Iberian ham and seasonal produce at the more dinner-forward hour Sevilleers favor. Finish with a relaxed after-dinner stroll past the illuminated Cathedral and Giralda or, if you’re not too tired, seek out one more night-time mural in Alameda to see street art under lamplight before turning in.
Wake early and stroll into the Alcázar to beat the crowds and enjoy the palatial gardens in cool morning light — book timed tickets in advance and linger through the Mudéjar rooms, the Patio de las Doncellas and the orange-tree courtyards. After the palace, wander the winding lanes of Barrio Santa Cruz, popping into tiny plazas and artisan shops; stop for a late breakfast-style coffee and tostada at Bar El Comercio or La Cacharrería before continuing your exploration.
Spend the afternoon exploring more of Santa Cruz’s hidden corners: visit the Casa de Pilatos for its mix of Renaissance and Andalusian styles, then walk to the nearby Archivo de Indias and the riverfront to get different perspectives on the old city. Pause for a leisurely late lunch at Restaurante Eslava or La Brunilda to sample elevated local plates (try the seasonal tapas and the Iberian ceviche), then return to the Alameda or Triana to scout any new murals you might have missed earlier in the trip.
As dusk falls, return to your hotel to freshen up and head to a traditional tablao for an intimate flamenco experience — El Arenal or Casa de la Memoria offer passionate live shows close to the cathedral. After the performance, walk beneath the illuminated Giralda and grab a relaxed late dinner at Taberna Gonzalo or Casa Morales if you’re still peckish, savoring the nighttime atmosphere before turning in for the drive to Cádiz the next day.
After an early breakfast in Seville, collect the rental car and enjoy the scenic 1h45-2h drive southwest to Cádiz, planning a short coffee stop in Jerez if you like sherry-town atmosphere. On arrival, park near the old town and begin your Die Another Day pilgrimage at the Alameda Apodaca promenade and Castillo de San Sebastián area — both appear in the film and make for dramatic seaside morning views as you warm up with a walk along the Playa de la Caleta.
Spend the afternoon hunting more Bond sites and local highlights: wander the labyrinthine old town streets to find the plazas and façades used in exterior shots, then visit the Torre Tavira for its camera obscura and panoramic views that help you place film sequences; pause for a leisurely late lunch of fried fish (pescaíto frito) and a cold Cruzcampo at La Taberna El Manteca or Freiduría Las Flores near Mercado Central. After eating, stroll the seawalls toward the Castle of Santa Catalina and the nearby Paseo Marítimo to watch the Atlantic light and spot filming angles where the movie staged seaside scenes.
As evening falls, take a relaxed paseo along the waterfront to the Plaza de San Juan de Dios and settle into a seafood-focused dinner at Casa Manteca or Restaurante El Faro for authentic local flavors. Finish your night with a digestif on a rooftop terrace such as the Hotel Boutique Convento Cádiz’s roof (seasonal opening) or a bar overlooking the bay, where the lit skyline and ocean breeze evoke the cinematic ambiance you’ve been tracing all day.
Start with a lively visit to Mercado Central de Abastos as vendors set up—sample fresh almadraba tuna, olives and a glass of local fino while chatting with fishmongers to learn about Cádiz’s marine bounty; pick up a few picnic items for later. From the market, wander the narrow streets of the Vieja Villa toward Playa de la Caleta, pausing at the Castillo de Santa Catalina and the little plazas where more Die Another Day exteriors were filmed, savouring the morning light on the sand and fortifications.
After a relaxed mercado picnic or a light lunch of pescaíto frito at Freiduría Las Flores, head to Torre Tavira to watch the camera obscura show and gain a cinematic vantage point over the rooftops—use that perspective to trace additional Bond shooting locations around the old town. Later, stroll the Paseo Marítimo toward La Cortadura and the quieter urban beaches, stopping at the modern murals and seaside viewpoints for photos, then take a short drive (or taxi) to the Paseo de Canalejas area to see more waterfront façades featured in the film.
Return to the old town for an authentic seafood dinner at Restaurante El Faro or Casa Manteca, ordering local specialties like ortiguillas or a tuna tataki while enjoying warm, convivial service. Finish the night with a sundowner on a rooftop or terrace—if open, the Hotel Boutique Convento Cádiz roof offers bay views; otherwise, choose a waterfront bar near Plaza de San Juan de Dios to toast the day and soak in the lights reflecting off the Atlantic before turning in for the drive back to Seville the next day.
Leave Seville after an early local breakfast and enjoy the roughly 1h45 drive to Córdoba, aiming to arrive when the Mezquita opens to beat crowds and feel the cool morning light on its red-and-white arches; book timed entry in advance and linger through the forest of columns and the mihrab, noticing the blend of mosque and cathedral. After the Mezquita, wander the adjacent Patio de los Naranjos and step into the winding streets of the Jewish Quarter to visit the Calleja de las Flores and the historic Synagogue, pausing for an espresso or a cold orange juice at a small café on Plaza del Potro.
For lunch like a local, sit for a relaxed mid-afternoon meal (Córdoba dinnertime starts late, so treat this as your substantial meal) at a tavern such as Bodegas Campos or Taberna Salinas and try salmorejo, flamenquín or local oxtail stew; afterwards cross the Roman Bridge to admire views of the Guadalquivir and the Calahorra Tower. Spend the later afternoon exploring the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos — its gardens, towers and mosaics reward a slow wander — then duck into artisan shops for leather and silver goods or seek out a courtyard open to visitors to see Córdoba’s famed patios in bloom.
Drive back toward Seville in the early evening and, if time allows before leaving Córdoba, enjoy a light tapa and a glass of fino near Plaza de la Corredera to soak up the town’s evening atmosphere. Back in Seville, return to your hotel to freshen up and then head out for a relaxed, late dinner at a favorite from earlier in the trip (La Azotea or Casa Morales), sharing highlights from the day over local wine and savoring a final stroll beneath the illuminated Giralda before turning in.
Drive back from Cádiz in the early morning and return your rental car in central Seville, allowing time for a short walk to stretch your legs along the Guadalquivir by Torre del Oro. After dropping bags at your hotel in the Santa Cruz/Alameda area, enjoy a leisurely local breakfast (café con leche and a tostada) at Bar El Comercio or La Cacharrería while reminiscing about the week’s highlights.
Spend a relaxed final afternoon revisiting favorite nooks: wander the Jardines de Murillo and the narrow lanes of Barrio Santa Cruz to buy last-minute souvenirs, or pop into the Centro Cerámica Triana if you missed it earlier; if you prefer one last graffiti fix, take a short stroll back to Alameda de Hércules to see any murals you may have missed under daylight. Fit in a final late lunch-style bite of montaditos or pescaíto at Mercado de la Feria or a nearby taberna, savoring the local flavors one more time before preparing for departure.
Collect your luggage and head toward the airport with ample time, but if your flight is later, enjoy a farewell dinner in the historic center at Casa Morales or La Azotea for a comforting, local meal. End with a slow paseo past the illuminated Giralda and a last glass on a riverside terrace—a calm, lantern-lit send-off that ties together the Andalusian rhythms you’ve lived all week.
