Los Remedios is a smart, lived-in district on the west side of the Guadalquivir, just south of Triana, where Seville feels more residential and spacious than the tight lanes of the old town. The streets are wide and straight, the apartment blocks are modern by Sevillian standards, and day-to-day life revolves around local bakeries, cafés, and the steady rhythm of neighbourhood errands rather than landmark queues.

Then spring arrives and everything changes. Los Remedios becomes one of the must-see places in Seville because it hosts the Feria de Abril fairground, when the barrio fills with music, lanterns, horses, and late-night dancing. It also works beautifully in a walking tour of Seville: you can cross from the historic centre, drift along the river, and land here for a calmer, more local slice of the city.

History and Significance of the Los Remedios

Los Remedios takes its name from a Carmelite convent that once stood in this area, a reminder that much of what feels “modern” today has older layers beneath it. The district's current personality, however, is largely a product of 20th-century urban development, when Seville expanded beyond the medieval core and created new residential neighbourhoods with broader streets and more regular city blocks.

For decades, Los Remedios was also associated with business and professional life, thanks to its proximity to central Seville and its role as a well-connected district across the river. Over time it shifted toward a predominantly residential feel, and today it's known for being orderly, comfortable, and quietly upscale without being showy.

Its biggest cultural spike is Feria de Abril, when the fairground transforms the district into a temporary city of casetas, music, and traditional dress. If you want to understand how Seville celebrates itself, this is one of the most revealing places to spend an evening, even if you only come to wander the lights and feel the atmosphere.

Things to See and Do in the Los Remedios

Start with a simple riverfront walk, because Los Remedios makes the most sense when you see how it sits opposite the historic skyline. The bridges create natural routes: cross from the centre, stroll along the Guadalquivir, and let the city's mood change from monument-heavy to neighbourhood-normal.

Parque de los Príncipes is the district's green anchor, a relaxed park where locals walk dogs, families pause at playgrounds, and the shade feels genuinely restorative in warm months. It's an easy place to reset before dinner, and it's especially pleasant if you're visiting Seville at a faster pace and want a quieter interlude.

If you're here for shopping and everyday life, head toward Calle Asunción and the surrounding streets, where the district's commercial energy sits at a human scale: boutiques, local services, and cafés that feel oriented to residents rather than tourism. This is also a good place to notice how different Seville feels once you step outside the historic centre's constant foot traffic.

For Feria de Abril, treat the fairground as its own destination. Even if you don’t have an invitation into private casetas, arriving early evening lets you experience the lantern-lit streets, the sound of sevillanas, and the sense of a city celebrating in public. Go in with low expectations and you’ll be surprised how much atmosphere you can soak up simply by walking.

How to Get to the Los Remedios

Málaga Airport (AGP) is another common entry point for Andalusia itineraries, followed by onward travel to Seville. For the best deals and a seamless booking experience, check out these flights to Seville on Booking.com.

If you arrive by train, Sevilla-Santa Justa is the main station, and the simplest approach is to connect into the centre by taxi, bus, or tram and then cross the river into Los Remedios. Train schedules and bookings can be found on Omio.

From central Seville, walking is often the best move: cross via Puente de San Telmo or Puente de Los Remedios and you'll naturally arrive at the district's main avenues without needing complicated navigation.

If you’re driving, park in a public garage on the edge of the centre or in a larger facility near the river and finish on foot, since parking gets noticeably harder during peak hours and especially during Feria week. If you are looking to rent a car in Spain I recommend having a look at Discover Cars, first, as they compare prices and review multiple car rental agencies for you.

Practical Tips on Visiting the Los Remedios

  • Entrance fee: Free
  • Opening hours: 24 Hours
  • Best time to visit: Late afternoon into evening is ideal for river walks and a relaxed dinner atmosphere; during Feria, early evening is best for lantern-lit wandering before the crowds peak.
  • How long to spend: 1-2 hours works well for a river stroll and park stop; add an evening if you’re visiting the Feria fairground.
  • Accessibility: The district’s wide pavements and modern street layout are generally easier than the old town’s tight lanes, though Feria crowds can slow movement.
  • Facilities: You’ll find plenty of everyday services-cafés, pharmacies, supermarkets-making it a convenient neighbourhood for practical stops between major sights.

Where to Stay Close to the Los Remedios

For a culture-heavy itinerary, base yourself in the historic centre so you can walk to the Cathedral and Alcázar easily; if your priorities are calmer evenings, parks, and quick access to Feria de Abril in season, Los Remedios is the more comfortable base.

For a well-located stay right in the district, Monte Triana is a reliable option with an easy walk to the river and quick routes into the centre. If you want a polished, modern base that keeps you close to Los Remedios while still feeling central, Eurostars Guadalquivir fits the district’s vibe and location. For a comfortable alternative nearby with good connectivity, Hotel Ribera de Triana works well if you want river access and an easy crossing toward the old town.

Is the Los Remedios Worth Visiting?

Yes, especially if you want to see a different Seville from the postcard version. Los Remedios shows the city's everyday rhythm-residential streets, local shopping, and parks-while still sitting close enough to the centre that you can dip back into major sights whenever you want.

It’s also worth visiting for Feria de Abril alone. Even a short evening walk through the fairground gives you a vivid sense of Sevillian tradition in motion, and it can become one of the most memorable parts of a spring trip.

For Different Travelers

For Different Travelers

Families with Kids

Los Remedios is a practical choice for families because the streets are wider, the pavements are easier, and the pace is calmer than the busiest parts of the old town. Parque de los Príncipes is the obvious anchor, giving you shade, space, and a natural break in a sightseeing-heavy day.

If you’re visiting during Feria, go earlier in the evening and treat it like a lights-and-music stroll rather than a late night out. You’ll get the atmosphere without pushing kids past their limit, and you can still be back at a reasonable hour.

Couples & Romantic Getaways

For couples, Los Remedios is best as an evening district: a river walk with the historic skyline opposite, a slow drink, and a relaxed dinner away from the densest tourist lanes. It has a more “local normal” feel, which can be a nice contrast if your itinerary is heavy on headline monuments.

During Feria week, it becomes a completely different kind of romantic-more theatrical, more festive, and more spontaneous. Even without entering private casetas, the light, sound, and movement make for a night that feels uniquely Seville.

Budget Travelers

Los Remedios is good for budget travelers who want affordable meals and a neighbourhood feel without paying “historic centre premiums.” Parks, river walks, and casual cafés give you plenty to do without spending much, and you can still walk to many major sights.

If you’re timing your trip around Feria, plan to treat it as a free atmosphere experience: arrive with snacks and water, wander the fairground streets, and enjoy the spectacle without feeling pressured into expensive add-ons.

FAQs for Visiting Los Remedios

Getting There

Los Remedios is on the west side of the Guadalquivir, just south of Triana and opposite the historic centre. It’s well connected by bridges, so it’s easy to reach on foot from central Seville.
Cross Puente de San Telmo or Puente de Los Remedios and continue along the main avenues into the district. If you want a scenic route, walk along the river first and cross at the bridge that best matches your next stop.
The simplest option is a taxi to the riverfront/centre edge, then a short walk across a bridge into Los Remedios. Public transport works well too, but walking the final stretch is usually faster than trying to get dropped deep inside the neighbourhood.

Feria de Abril

Yes, the Feria de Abril fairground sits in Los Remedios and becomes the district’s main focus during the festival week. Even if you’re not attending formally, walking the fairground streets is an experience in itself.
You can enjoy the fairground atmosphere for free by walking the public streets and soaking up the lights and music. Access to many casetas is private, but you don’t need invitations to have a great time people-watching and exploring.
Arrive around early evening, do one slow loop through the fairground while it’s still comfortable, then leave before the late-night crowds peak. This approach gives you the best mix of atmosphere and ease.

Visiting Experience

It’s primarily a local residential district, which is exactly why it’s interesting as a contrast to the old town. The highlights tend to be parks, river walks, and the Feria fairground rather than monument-style sightseeing.
It’s more relaxed than Seville’s nightlife hubs, with a quieter evening feel most of the year. During Feria week, though, the district becomes one of the liveliest parts of the city.

Food & Breaks Nearby

Look around the main commercial streets and plazas where locals eat and shop, especially near the district’s central avenues. For a more atmospheric plan, combine a river walk with a casual meal nearby afterward.
Yes, they sit side by side, and crossing between them is simple on foot. Pairing the two gives you a strong neighbourhood day: Triana for tradition and food, Los Remedios for space, parks, and Feria energy in season.

Safety & Timing

Yes, it’s generally a calm, comfortable district with a residential vibe. During Feria week it becomes much busier, so it’s worth keeping normal crowd awareness, especially late at night.
Later in the day is usually more rewarding, especially for river walks and a relaxed meal. Mornings are quieter and good for park time if you want calm streets and shade.
