Nervión Plaza

Nervión PlazaThe second closest to the center, although expect a 15-20 minute walk depending on where you’re coming from. From the Puerta Carmona head straight and follow the remnants of the roman aqueducts in the middle of the avenue. The mall is similar to a mall in the U.S.: the indoor shops, a McDonald’s within an actual food court that of course includes video games. The other main El Corte Inglés location is here as well. In Nervión Plaza you’ll find La Casa de Costillas, an authentic Texas type steak and rib joint where they serve fountain drinks in larger glasses with lots of ice, peanuts in the shell at the bar, and real (beef) hamburgers. Ribs and steaks are also pretty good, too.

They even have all the steak house crap on the walls - a collection of old soda bottles, antique signs and all the clutter you’d get anywhere in this type of restaurant in the U.S. Next there is Cines Nervión, 20 screen movie theatre and you can buy your tickets over the internet with reserved seating for most shows. Late-afternoon and early evening you can take your pick of illegal vendors below selling a lot of crafts and trinkets from Latin America as well as pirated CDs and DVDs. The only downside to Nervión Plaza for me is personal: it’s located next to Estadio Sanchez Pizuan, home of Sevilla Fútbol Club and of course Betis’ biggest rival. Aside from keeping myself from vomiting while passing the stadium I do like this mall.
