SEVILLE: A CITY OF CHARACTER, FULL OF LIFE AND COLOUR
A visit to the Andalusian capital is a must on any trip to Andalusia. Discover this city of character, full of life and colour. In the south of Spain, along the Guadalquivir, Seville is a perfect reflection of the Andalusian art of living and the incredible richness of this region, which is bathed in sunshine for much of the year. Along with Granada and Cordoba, it forms the emblematic Andalusian triangle. Its architectural gems give it a certain prestige, while its eclectic neighbourhoods will take you from an atmosphere steeped in history to a festive, bohemian atmosphere.
Visit the Plaza de España and Maria Luisa Park in the emblematic Santa Cruz district, followed by lunch in a traditional tapas bar near Seville Cathedral.
In the afternoon, your choice of :
- A complete tour of Seville Cathedral, a Gothic cathedral symbolising the victory of Christianity over Islam. The most courageous will climb to the top, on a gentle slope, with no stairs but a 32-level ramp, for a spectacular view of the city. Also worth a look inside the cathedral is the monumental tomb of Christopher Columbus.
OR
- A full tour of the Real Alcázar, in the heart of the city, this immense palace is the result of 11 centuries of modifications during the Muslim and Christian periods.
- And in the evening, stroll through the narrow streets of the historic centre and take the time to experience an authentic "tablao" of Flamenco Sevillano, a passionate, frenzied and picturesque performance in the purest Andalusian tradition! Olé!
