Iki Calle Luis de Morales, 2 41018 Sevilla +34 954 44 74 95 www.facebook.com/ Restaurante-IkiSevilla-2049673771986635

Iki is located next to our barbershop in Nervión. I love this restaurant thanks to the warm ambience, wonderful sushi bar (where you can watch the sushi chefs at work) and the amazing selection of superb sushi. They feature wonderful and unexpected flavour combinations such as butterfish with truffle, duck with mandarin sauce and beef with quail egg. Premier Ronda de Triana, 14 41010 Sevilla +34 954 34 07 14 www.premierginrum.com/

I like to walk through the Triana neighbourhood and have a few cold beers. Any bar in this beautiful neighbourhood next to the Quadalquivir river is amazing. In the afternoons, I meet friends at “Premier”, they serve an extensive selection of classic and signature cocktails that changes with the season.

El Corte Ingles There are several El Corte Ingles shops in Seville. www.elcorteingles.es

The “El Corte Ingles” department store has shops-in-the-shop offering top men’s fashion brands. It’s the go-to destination for the latest fashions and the best deals.

BARBERS & THE CITY

ROCK & BARBER Calle Acueducto, bq 6 local 2 41008 Sevilla +34 658 66 70 20 www.rock-barber9.webnode.es @rockandbarber

Rock & Barber was born of the union of the David Perez’s two passions. When he was 18 and attending hairdressing college, he dreamt of uniting the barbershop and rock music with the culture of the electric and retro-American guitar. Almost 20 years later, his business has become one of the most famous barbershops in Spain, picking up several national awards and titles along the way.

Why are we a special barbershop? At Rock & Barber, we don’t see it as a client-business relationship, we want to be part of our client’s life. We love the fact that they visit us, have a glass of Jack Daniels and chat about music or play music on one of the guitars we have in the shop. OUR HOTSPOTS

INVANTXU Espacio Bistronómico Calle Virgen de la Victoria, 5 41011 Sevilla +34 651 93 19 96 www.ivantxu.es

I adore good food that is prepared and made with care and dedication. This is why you should be sure to visit Seville’s iconic IVANTXU Espacio Bistronómico to savour their authentic fare at fair prices. As a fan of rock and American culture, I must admit that the Hard Rock Cafe in Seville has a special place in my life. Because of the music, the incredible interior and obviously the legendary burgers. Zeta Plaza de la Gavidia, 5 41002 Sevilla +34 696 03 63 67 @zetasevilla - & Jazz Corner Calle Radio, 41 41007 Sevilla +34 629 82 86 08 @jazzcornersevilla

The Jazz Corner club is a great spot to have a drink, watch live jazz or blues music or even play a jam with other musicians. It feels like you’re in Chicago or New Orleans, but with all the magic of the Sevillian night.

Nova Era Música Idefonso Marañón Lavín 41019 Sevilla +34 955 15 52 62 www.novaeramusica.com

My favourite stores in Seville are NOVA ERA and Matt guitars. Both are two incredible stores where you can buy everything from beautiful clothing and accessories for musicians to guitars that take your breath away. And last but not least, we have A Saco Biker Shop, which is a shop for accessories for bikers. But they also have the best t-shirts, jackets and caps in town.
