Andalusia's Moorish and Castilian beauty
With the Greek demi-god of Hercules as its mythical founder, Seville was pre-destined to be be great. And great it was, both as the jewel in the Moorish Caliphate of Cordoba and as the capital of the most powerful Castilian Kingdom, a dual legacy that bequeathed the city its eye-popping architecture and majestic grace. While Seville reached its peak of cultural brilliance in the 17th century and then suffered terribly in the Spanish Civil War, today it has resurrected itself as the capital and largest city of Andalusia. You’ll need to spend a few days here at least to experience the true essence of Spanish grandeur.
Containing no less than three UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Alcazar palace complex, the Cathedral, and the General Archive of the Indies – Seville’s Old Town is the third largest in Europe. Head to the Santa Cruz quarter, rich in Moorish splendour, and you’ll see fascinating medieval engravings. The neighbourhood of Triana on the west bank of the Guadalquivir River is a folk, monumental, and cultural centre while La Macarena on the northern side of the city centre is home to many important monuments and religious buildings.
The city simply has too many wonders to list, but while you’re here, you can’t be forgiven for missing the Plaza de Espana in Maria Luisa Park, an outstanding example of Regionalist Revival architecture featuring Art Deco details and lavishly ornamented with Andalusian glazed tiles. Climb La Giralda tower attached to the monumental Gothic St. Mary of the See Cathedral, take a tour of the magnificent Torre del Oro river watchtower or visit the Palace of San Telmo, one of the most emblematic baroque buildings you can find.

Arguably the prettiest town in Spain, there is a something really special about Seville. I have some of my fondest travel memories here, from sipping delicious Spanish sangria on the promenades, to wandering around the Alcázar of Seville (Royal Palace). It is a magical city, in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
