Seville
Seville is passion. This is where flamenco, bullfights, Don Juan,
Carmen, Holy Week and the April Fair can be seen and felt by all.
Seville is the past. With the largest oldest quarter in all of
Europe, virtually all the peoples of the Mediterranean have left
their mark here – the Roman city of Itálica, the Giralda
tower with its Moorish and Christian influences, the Torre del
Oro (Gold Tower), the Alcázar (Royal Palace), the third
largest Cathedral in the world…and that was just the lead-up
to Spain's Golden Century, when Seville was the hub of the Spanish
Empire, famous the world over for splendour with which no other
city could compare.
Seville is also the future, a modern city, open to all progress,
especially since 1992 when it hosted the last Expo of the 20 th
century. But without a doubt, Seville's finest asset is its people,
as warm and lively as anywhere in Spain, always ready to help visitors,
delighted to share their cheerfulness and local traditions.
