Choose your colors, the green and white of Betis, or the red and white of Sevilla, and enjoy a great day of soccer.
Beyond the lawn
So much this rivalry is lived in the city that, whether by chance or not, green and red dresses the canvases of the Feria de Abril, or also the traditional flamenco chairs… A good measure of the passion with which this phenomenon is felt beyond the sporting.
Seville has two special colors
And if all this rivalry can already be felt throughout the year and in any circumstance, as a direct confrontation approaches, the excitement will become more and more present.
The spectacle in the stands during a classic is formidable.

There are many supporters’ clubs of both teams that are the backbone of all this passion in the social fabric of the neighborhoods. The peñas are meeting places to watch the team’s games, but can also sometimes be establishments where you can taste good home cooking and associations that promote activities, sporting or otherwise, beneficial to the environment.
Challenging the wind

The Alamillo Park is one of the lungs of Seville with its more than 140 hectares of green area and beautiful lakes. Cultural, leisure and sports activities take place there. One of these practices is wakeboarding, which consists of moving on a board driven by a boat attached to a long cable. This is one of the sports that generates the most adrenaline and that, in addition, due to its location, serves to free oneself from the heat that plagues the city during the summer months. It can be done as a family, since children, from five years old, can participate.
