A
Museo del Baile Flamenco
The brainchild of sevillana flamenco dancer, Cristina Hoyos, this is Seville’s newest museum. It’s spread over three floors of an 18th-century palace, although at €10 a pop it is more than a little overpriced. Exhibits include sketches, paintings, photos of erstwhile (and contemporary) flamenco greats, plus a collection of dresses and shawls. Performances, classes and workshops are regular occurrences here, and there’s the obligatory shop.

Archivo de Indias
