Seville
Bathed in sunlight year-round, Seville has a charismatic and upbeat vibe. The mix of Roman, Moorish and Colonial influences have sculpted Seville's reputation as a cultural cornucopia. Tangled alleyways, labyrinths, exquisite cathedrals, and animated tapas bars line the Guadalquivir river, which winds its way through the Andalusian capital.Hitta resa
Seville Cathedral is the third-largest cathedral in Europe. Originally built as a mosque in the 12th-century, the 100-metre- high minaret is now the Giralda clock tower. Christopher Columbus is buried inside the cathedral.
Take a stroll over to the colossal Plaza de España when you're in Seville. Nestled within the beautiful Maria Luisa Park, this architectural marvel was crafted for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The building presents a stunning fusion of styles — think Renaissance revival with a local twist — we're talking exposed brick and ceramics. This plaza isn't just about the building. It also embraces a 515-meter-long canal encircling the square. Fancy a bit of romance? Hop on a boat and take in the beauty of the place from a whole new perspective. Just imagine — you, the water, and an architectural marvel providing the backdrop. Quite irresistible.

During Easter Week, Seville is transformed into a photographer’s paradise. Processions with the Virgin Mary and Jesus, the Nazarenos asking for penance, and colourful orchestras fill the city with vibrant life.

Pop into the Museo de Bellas Artes, a hidden gem in a former convent. Home to Spanish art masterpieces from the medieval period to the 20th century, it's a testament to the country's rich artistic heritage. Marvel at works from great masters like Goya, Murillo, Ribera and Millian, and delve into dynamic modern art exhibitions. It's a cultural pit stop you can't miss in Seville.
