One of the first people to fall in love with Seville was the poet-king Al-Mutamid, and the city's ability to dazzle has not abated since. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by its exuberant atmosphere - stylish, confident, ancient, proud, yet also convivial, intimate and fun-loving. Visit the historic and best known districts of Seville: Santa Cruz , Triana and la Macarena. Anyway, other districts too, like El Arenal or La Alameda, as the rest of the ancient center of Seville, carry the air of their cultural heritage. But culture is not only expressed in buildings. It is also found in the centuries old folkloric traditions. In Semana Santa (holy week), the streets of the old center of Seville convert into the giant open air stage of the spectacular Easter processions for a week. Only two weeks later to be followed by the April Fair (April 11 - 17, 2005 ). Seville is also the birthplace Flamenco that also has several centuries of history.

Seville Visitor Comments...
I visited Seville in 2005. I was there for 5 days and what a lovely 5 days it was. I was aware that it would be hot when I travelled but boy it was hot. Hitting 40 on some ocassions. However if you are into strolling around a beautiful (I can't understate that enough)and 'romantic' city then Seville is the palce to visit. I was there on my own however its beauty touched me for sure. Even though the City centre and its attractions are probably within 20 minutes distance of each at any time they are all worth seeing. My highlight the Palace d' Alcazar with it's astounding gardens and inner Islamic architecture. As a side note, I visited Barcelona last year (2006) and seville still tips it for me.
