It\u2019s often said that most Spaniards don\u2019t live to work; they work to live.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And for most, a good life usually means delicious food, great company, and plenty of free time to enjoy both. This year, Andalusia and every other region in Spain will be observing a total of 12 <\/a>festivos<\/a><\/em>, or holidays\u2014more than most other European countries. That\u2019s 12 ideal opportunities to celebrate life, share a meal with family, or have a few drinks<\/a> with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while some holidays are best enjoyed out on the street eating tapas, other special occasions tend to be spent at home with loved ones, leaving most bars and restaurants closed, and the city looking more like a ghost town than its usual bustling self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019re visiting Seville during a holiday\u2014whether it\u2019s Reyes<\/em> (Three Kings Day<\/a>) or Good Friday, Corpus Christi or Christmas Day\u2014say goodbye to your FOMO, and get your share of the good life by trying out these amazing places!<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Arte y Sabor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With its pleasant, sun-soaked terrace on the trendy Alameda de H\u00e9rcules, Arte y Sabor<\/a> has become a go-to for affordable, inspired tapas with a Mediterranean twist. The pork cheek in vodka sauce and the sirloin paupiettes are to die for, but Arte y Sabor is also a great place for hearty salads, vegetarian<\/a> tapas and vegan options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, the kitchen is open all day, and if by any chance, the original location is closed, you\u2019re nearly guaranteed to find their newer sister restaurant open just a block away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
