Sharon Stone's favorite city in Spain is Andalusia.

Sharon Stone is not only one of Hollywood's most iconic actresses, she's also a great traveler. And if there's one destination in Spain that completely captivated her, it's Seville . According to National Geographic , the Basic Instinct star was so fascinated with the Andalusian capital that she couldn't stop sharing photos and videos from her visit to the city a few years ago.

Her stay began at one of Seville's most iconic hotels: the Hotel Alfonso XIII . Well known for hosting film, music, and royalty stars for decades, it was there that Sharon Stone filmed her first images of the Giralda. According to National Geographic, from this hotel, so close to the Reales Alcázares, the Cathedral, and the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the actress began a leisurely tour, more interested in being amazed by the city than in being trapped in gala events.

Her route took her along San Fernando Street, through gardens, and finally to Plaza de España . A popular spot for leisurely strolls, gatherings with friends, or sunny afternoons, the square became, through Stone's camera, a global showcase. "Look at the tiles; each one represents a region," she explained as she filmed each ceramic bench, a detail that, although part of the everyday landscape, never ceases to amaze anyone who visits.

There was no shortage of cinematic references. Plaza de España has appeared in sagas like Star Wars and Game of Thrones , but Stone preferred to focus on what truly captivated her: the beauty of its details and the tranquility of a place that always surprises, even those who pass by often.

It wasn't all monuments. According to National Geographic, Sharon Stone had already discovered Sevillian tapas when she filmed "Blood and Sand" in the 1980s with Antonio Flores. And years later, upon returning, she jumped at the chance to sit at the table. The specific bars weren't revealed, but there was no shortage of tapas: pork cheeks, spinach with chickpeas, croquettes, and whiskey-infused sirloin.

Sharon Stone's tour of Seville culminated in the Santa Cruz neighborhood . According to National Geographic, she got lost in its narrow streets, among white houses and balconies filled with geraniums. These streets meander and, at every corner, hide squares like Doña Elvira, hidden corners like Callejón del Agua, and the Murillo Gardens.

Santa Cruz is as much a part of the city's life as the Cathedral, the Archive of the Indies, and the Royal Alcázar, all declared World Heritage Sites . These spaces, although well-known, continue to surprise those who look at them with curious eyes, as Sharon Stone did during those days.

The actress preferred to wander and film Seville rather than stay at private parties . Her videos exuded the tranquility of someone enjoying a city at their own pace, taking in every detail. Years after that visit, her images continue to circulate online , reminding us that Seville always leaves its mark.
