Overview
The south of Spain's prized jewel, Seville is the capital of Andalusia and a city with a rich 2,500-year-old history. Seville is romantic, known for dramatic bullfights, exciting festivals, and flamenco music that plays long into the night. For Expo 92, the city underwent an extensive revitalization that improved the overall infrastructure without sacrificing Old World charm. Visitors can wander quaint streets lined with terrace cafés serving tapas and sherry. At night, partygoers can participate in la marcha (marching), hopping from bar to bar in the Santa Cruz area. For sightseers, Seville offers magnificent monuments, most notably La Giralda Tower, the 15th-century La Catedral, and the Moorish-style Alcázar palace. Each spring, the city also puts on two grand festivals: Semana Santa, the week before Easter, and April Feria, the last week of April.
