Sevilla Vintage: A guide to sustainable shopping and local design in Seville's Soho district

If you prefer a jacket with an 80s backstory over a garment from a multinational chain, Seville will surprise you. Far from the main commercial avenues filled with the same brands you find in London, Paris, or New York, there exists a neighborhood-based, artisanal, and deeply creative side of Seville.

For our community aged 25 to 35, responsible consumption is not a trend; it is a way of understanding travel. That is why, at Joy Hostel, we have prepared a walking route for you along the Calle Feria axis and the Regina neighborhood, the true "indie" heart of the city. Get ready to fill your suitcase with authentic treasures.

Calle Feria: The epicenter of retro and "El Jueves"

Calle Feria is, arguably, the street with the most personality in all of Seville. It is chaotic, colorful, and authentic. If you are lucky enough to be in the city on a Thursday, you cannot miss "El Jueves", the oldest antique market in the city (dating back to the 13th century!). Here you can find everything from analog cameras to 70s flamenco-rock vinyl records.

But if it is not Thursday, don't worry. The street is dotted with shops that are authentic museums:

• Piel de Mariposa: A second-hand shop with an incredible selection where, in addition, the profits go towards social causes.
• Flamingos Vintage Kilo: Perfect if you are looking for an American aesthetic, baseball jackets, or wild printed shirts that will make everyone jealous in your next Instagram post.

Regina Neighborhood: Slow design and avant-garde next to the "Setas"

Just behind the Metropol Parasol (the famous "Setas"), you will find the Regina area. It is the place where young Sevillian designers have decided to plant their flag. Here, the concept is "slow fashion" and supporting local businesses.

• Wabisabi Shop & Gallery: A hybrid space where you can buy everything from an illustration by a local artist to minimalist decoration objects.
• Libélula Shop: A concept store that gathers different micro-fashion and accessory brands. It is the ideal place to take home a souvenir from Seville that isn't your typical fridge magnet.

"I was looking for something special; I avoid plastic souvenirs. Walking through the Regina area, I found a small jewelry shop with pieces handmade by a local girl. Every time I wear my earrings in Amsterdam, people ask me about them, and I remember my afternoon in Seville." — Emma, 27 years old, Social Media Manager.
