Frequently asked questions
The duration is up to the organizer when they set up the adventure. As a guideline, a focused day across the Catedral, Real Alcázar, Plaza de España and Triana ticks off most of the easy items, and stretching across a weekend lets a determined group complete all 30.
Each of the 30 items is a camera challenge. When you spot the thing, take a photo and submit it; the bingo card tracks progress. Play solo, with friends or split into teams and race to tick off the most items.
Some items (a Semana Santa procession, an April Feria dress) are seasonal. Sweep the Catedral and Santa Cruz for the easy items, the Plaza de España for tiles, Triana for ceramics and flamenco, the Setas for the rooftop view.
The Santa Cruz neighbourhood (Catedral, Alcázar, plazas) hits the most items in a walking loop. Add Plaza de España and Maria Luisa Park, the Setas de Sevilla, and a Triana detour for ceramics and flamenco bars.
Yes. Kids love spotting orange trees, horse carriages, fans and the giant Setas; adults enjoy hunting tapas, sherry and flamenco posters. No alcohol stops are required.
