Seville Spain

Spanish Exoticism

Seville

It may lack the cool factor of Barcelona, the movida of Madrid, or the modern architectural wonders of Bilbao and Valencia, but Seville is the most beautiful and seductive of all Spanish cities.

Rich in Moorish architecture and home to the passionate flamenco and bullfighting, it is the soul of Spain. It retains that soul and its character even as it modernizes, and walking through its winding backstreets reveals the mark of a glorious past.

Its cathedral, the world's third largest, used to be a great mosque, reflected in its tall bell tower that was built as a minaret. The maze of whitewashed streets leading to it is filled with flower-decked patios, picturesque plazas and alleys, and tapas bars.

A horse and carriage ride in Plaza de España is another delight, but escaping the city's sultry summer heat to the beaches of Costa del Sol is also tempting. In fact Seville is the perfect gateway to exploring all of the magical province of Andalusia, including the must-see historical cities of Granada and Cordoba.

The exotic splendor of Seville together with the beauty and variety of its surroundings create the perfect romantic and rewarding city break destination. A long, relaxing break.

BODY & SOUL


A city where people still pause for a siesta obviously takes relaxing seriously. The constant sunshine also adds to the overall well-being of its citizens, and the services of a spa make it all even better:

SHOPPING


You'll obviously find the big Spanish labels like Zara and Mango in Seville, but the best part of shopping in this city is finding traditional or quite unique pieces that you can only get here. Know where to find them HERE (Seville Shopping Guide)>>

GAY & LESBIAN


The limited number of gay bars and clubs in Seville reflects the city's small size, although curiously there is a relatively large number of gay-friendly accommodation. Perhaps the city is used as a mandatory cultural stop on a tour of Andalucia or Costa del Sol, but whatever the reason to visit Seville, gay travelers will find a relaxed and friendly city.
