City Info
Spain | Sevilla

Sevilla is one of Spain’s most beautiful cities. It is the capital of Andalusia, and is located in the province of the same name. It has 700 000 inhabitants and is famous for its legendary bullfights and the Flamenco. Its specific beauty comes from its location on the river Guadalquivir, from the singularly lively old town with its romantic and winding lanes, the fragrances of blossoming gardens and the many historic buildings.
The remains of the former ring wall and its 66 towers, which surrounded the inner city, can still be seen. And on the right bank of the river spreads the large suburb of Triana.

Spain would be unthinkable without Sevilla because of its eventful history, its splendid buildings, and its political importance. And yet, Sevilla has always been second in line. Only recently, the former Prime Minister, Felipe Gonzalez, tried to push Sevilla into the centre of public interest by winning the 1992 World Exhibition EXPO for this town, but the changes that were expected did not occur.

Holidaymakers coming to Sevilla are mostly interested in its culture. The town offers a great number of cultural activities for all interests the whole year round: Flamenco, bullfights, the Holy Week (Semana Santa) and Feria, as well a lively street life and very communicative and hospitable people. No one will be disappointed with the many highlights in this town in the south of Spain. There is the well-known cathedral Santa Maria, the golden tower, and famous Giralda, all of which the visitor can experience, along with the fascinating charm of this eternal romantic town. And if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town and the midday heat, you can relax in the Parque de Maria Luisa.

Sevilla invites you to learn Spanish and offers you a fantastic climate, an excellent cuisine, unique architecture, and a great number of cinemas, music, and theatre stages.
