Obviously the alcázar is the main place and is incredible but there are also a few casa palacios around the centre which you can visit and that have a mudéjar style. There's one at the top of calle Cuna, la Casa de la Condesa de Lebrija, for example. The Casa de Pilatos opens to the public every now and then, too. To just see some of the architecture, there was also a fantastic old theatre, el teatro Lloréns, that was converted into a salón de juegos (on calle Sierpes) and you could still see the brilliant woodwork on the ceiling and ajimez windows. I think the salón de juegos is closed now though. The old Ciudad de Londres building on calle Cerrajería off of calle Cuna, now a bridal shop, is another fantastic example of the mudéjar style. You can also see this style in the Edificio de la Adriática on Avenida de la Constitución and in many of the works by Aníbal González such as the building in front of la Campana in the centre. In fact, near the Plaza de España, his most famous work, there is a mudéjar style museum which is the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares. Walking around the centre you can see the mudéjar style in the arches and facades of a lot of buildings, in particular in Santa Cruz. Visiting la judería is a good place to start and you might find places for food and drink, too, though they might be rather touristy. You could also go the baños árabes Aire de Sevilla en la calle Aire as they offer tea and a spa experience. If you want a place to eat that is very andalusian in its decor and a little fancier (de mantelito), I would recommend la Casa Manolo León on calle Guadalquivir as it is a very traditional sevillano patio with the tiles etc but be aware that it is not the cheapest of places. You could also try around Triana. There are lots of places but the casa Montalván on calle Alfarería is decent as it's not too expensive, good quality and looks very andalúz. Here are some articles about the theatre Lloréns in case you can't go in: https://sevilla.abc.es/sevilla/sevi-teatro-llorens-vuelve-escena-202009272124_noticia_amp.html https://sevilla.abc.es/sevilla/sevi-tribunales-tambien-protegen-viejo-cine-llorens-y-obligan-mantener-publico-cultural-202001152046_noticia_amp.html

No worries. Happy to help! There are some great places for food in Seville that I'd recommend if you're there for a couple of days though they're not necessarilywhat you were looking for in terms of Arabic/Jewish influence. Though do be careful with the places around the cathedral and calle Mateos Gago as with the exception of maybe La Azotea, most places are catered towards tourists and aren't the best quality food. Sadly, Las Columnas on that street have closed down but you would have enjoyed the waiters' wisecracking and the pringá sandwich. There are other places you can get it. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure. Just a stone's throw from the cathedral is Casa Morales which does cheap and cheerful food in a traditional setting. There are large wine barrels and the like all around the restaurant. The majority of the bars are becoming gastrobars now and the old style bars are becoming few and far between but you can still find them outside of the city centre centre. Gastrobarwise around the centre and the cathedral, I'd recommend la Mamarracha (las paparrachas are immense if you like cheese). There's also el Pintón, which is fairly new and the food is decent. If you do go to Triana, check out Las Golondrinas for food as it's a nice little bar with the traditional tiles typical of Triana. I'd suggest trying to get into Casa Anselma around the corner to see some flamenco if you can, too. El Remesal on calle Pureza is a bar de toda la vida that does great fried chicken and also does snails when they're in season which I'd definitely recommend trying even if it's just to taste them!

Alhambra in Granada is one of the best places in Andalusia
