In Seville, just about every building has a patio-perfect rooftop, so it's a wonder why more hotels don't capitalize on this prime space with rooftop bars. We had to ask a local if any existed and he pointed us in the direction of Hotel Azahar.

The place may not be the best hotel in Seville (past guests complain of small rooms, some with no windows--claims we sadly did not get the chance to vet), but its rooftop bar, Etnia Terrace, is certainly worth a trip. Anyone can hang out here and take advantage of the breezy vista, which looks down on Jesús del Gran Poder, a prime location to watch the religious processions go by during April's Semana Santa.

Get there early (that's midnight by Spanish standards) to commandeer one of the two small, elevated patios or to take a dip in the Jacuzzi (above) in privacy, as the place doesn't get going until at least 1 a.m. and the sound of techno music takes over.
