Seville City Guide

Bisected by its famous river, the Guadalquivir, the great southern city of Seville is the regional capital of Andalucia. Not only is it Spain’s sunniest city but it has an incredibly romantic past and rich Moorish heritage; its beauty is bound to enchant any visitor. Having been occupied by the Moors for 500 years, it is from here that they ruled during their occupation of Andalucia and their influence is evident in the “Mudejar” architecture of the city. Without a doubt one of Europe’s most alluring cities it is known for its exuberance, perhaps best epitomised during its two passion filled festivals. The Semana Santa (Holy Week) held during the week before Easter and the Feria de Abril held in the two weeks after Easter Sunday; a non-stop party of drink, food and dance which goes on around the clock in over a thousand especially mounted tents. The city is best avoided during the hottest summer months as you’ll end up missing out on many of its magical sights whilst shielding yourself from the unrelenting heat.
