It is said that Seville has a special colour, a
different colour, and we can assure you that this is completely true. Seville
is one of those cities that will touch your heart with its warm, cosy
atmosphere. This city is placed in Andalucía, in the south of Spain, and it is
the third most visited capital in Spain, after Madrid and Barcelona.
Seville is the city with more catalogued
monuments in Europe. However, there are some of these monuments that are so
amazing that have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are talking
about Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, the Alcázar of Seville and the General
Archive of the Indies.
Its old town is the largest in Spain and the
third largest in Europe, and it contains three of these UNESCO World Heritage
Sites: the Cathedral, the Alcázar and the General Archive of the Indies.
Some other main sights in Seville are the Torre
del Oro, a watchtower and defensive barrier, the City Hall, the Plaza de
España, in Maria Luisa Park, and the neighbourhood of Triana a great monumental
and cultural centre.
The most important museum in Seville is the
Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, which holds many Spanish works of art from the
medieval period to the early 20th century.
The most important event in Seville, and
probably in the whole Andalucía is the Seville Fair or, in Spanish, La Feria de Abril. It begins two weeks
after Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week), and lasts for six days. During all
night, until the morning, there are many crowds partying. They dance Sevillanas, drink Jerez sherry and manzanilla
wine, and eating tapas.
In this city, you will find yourselves right in
the core of the Andalusian culture. Bullfighting, Flamenco, tapas, Sherry
wine... Enjoy your time in a warm city where taking life easy is what will
really matter.
