Sevilla

Sevilla is Andalusia's largest and most vibrant city, situated on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. One of Spain's four major cities, Sevilla carries both its historical weight and its modern energy at once. As the capital of Andalusia, it is the place where the spirit of the region is felt most intensely.Sevilla's historic center is one of the largest pedestrian zones in Europe. Its cathedral, Alcázar, and historic archive have been listed together as a single UNESCO World Heritage Site — one of the rare examples of this kind in the world. The city is also one of the most deeply rooted centers of flamenco, and here the culture points toward a living tradition rather than a tourist product.Sevilla is a warm city — both in climate and character. Temperatures can exceed 40°C in summer. But in the evenings the city comes alive; squares fill up and streets remain busy well into the night.
