Seville – Where Flamenco Fire Meets Moorish Magic

Whether you’re drawn by history, food, or a desire to feel that Andalusian zest for life, Seville casts a unique spell. Located at the heart of Southern Spain, the city is well connected via its international airport and train station. Seville is renowned for its music, Moorish history, Tapas and Flamenco.

Seville has a slower pace, especially in summer. Shops close in the afternoon, restaurants open late. Plan accordingly and maybe enjoy a siesta yourself.

Start your exploration in the Plaza de España, a sprawling square built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. Its buildings represent the architectural styles of Spain’s former colonies, a reminder of the city’s long history as a trade center. The Alcazar stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of diverse cultures, and the timeless beauty that can arise from their harmonious coexistence. The Taste of Seville Tapas, the delectable small dishes synonymous with Spanish cuisine, have a humble origin story in Seville.

If you can catch an authentic flamenco show, do it. It’s not just dance, but an expression of deep-rooted culture and history. Seville’s Semana Santa, Holy Week, and Feria de Abril are legendary if you can snag accommodations during those peak times.
