For the latest in fashion, Seville is packed with the usual shopping chains and boutiques. There are shops where you can find beautiful art pieces, books, and specialty products.

The heart of Seville's shopping district is Calle Sierpes and the streets running parallel - Calle Velazquez Tetúan and Calle Cuna.

Plaza de Armas

Plaza de Armas in Seville

Located in the old Córdoba Train station across from the bus station this is the smallest of the bunch but the easiest to get to in the center.

Foster's Hollywood serves up American food in an Applebee's atmosphere and there is a Mercadona, a large supermarket, on the bottom floor. A number of chain restaurants, including Mexican and Italian, are just outside in the plaza. There are also a number of small shops inside and it has the charm and history of the architecture going for it. Just across the street is another movie theatre, Avenida 5 Cines, with V.O. movies (subtitled with the original language audio). The location is also close to the river if you plan to hit the bars or Triana when the heat dies down.
