Seville, the capital of Andalusia, has the most intense flavor of the south among all European cities. It is here that every word that comes to mind when saying 'Spain' comes to life: History, Sun, Flamenco Music, Flowers everywhere, tapas; much more than a welcoming and friendly Andalusian character. Certainly, this sunny and joyful city is one of the most beloved places for visitors to Spain.

More than any other city in the country, Seville is an important and unparalleled historical point in Spain, full of mythology and legend. It was a magnificent Roman city – Trajan and Hadrian, Roman emperors, were born here – and later the capital of a significant Moorish kingdom: Andalusia was occupied by the Moors for about 800 years, and today Moorish influence is architecturally very evident.

Columbus departed from a port near Seville to discover the New World: all ships coming from America entered the country through the river of Seville. It was during the 16th century when the city became the true capital of the Spanish Empire and arguably at the forefront of all cities in the world.
