Spain / Southern Spain / Seville
 
THE AREA
Spain / Southern Spain / SevilleSeville is the home of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro and the final resting place of Christopher Columbus. These are synonymous with the city, but there is much more to this proud and mysterious capital of Andalucia. When you visit this city, you are in the very heart of Andalusian culture. Take your time and take life easy, as Andalusians use to do.

The cathedral (the world's largest gothic building), the soaring spire of the Giralda and the nearby Alcazar Palace bear witness to the glory of Spain's Moorish heritage, while the sweeping arches of the Plaza de Espaņa and the Maria Luisa Park remind the visitor of the city's more recent but equally flamboyant past. The medieval Jewish quarter of the Barrio Santa Cruz is charming by day or night, with its flower-lined streets, houses adorned with exquisite wrought iron and endless restaurants and taverns.

Ecija is located at the border between the provinces of Seville and Cordoba. This traditional manorial town has several beautiful palaces, remarkable are in particular the palaces of Marqueses de Peņaflor and Condes de Valverde. The importance of the town under the Moors, who called it Astigi, is shown in its great Arabian baths. Interesting, as well, are the remains of the Moorish town-walls, among them the two doors Puerta del Puente and Puerta Cerrada.

Seville is easy to explore on foot, with all the sights close together. Buses and taxis are cheap and there are also excellent rail connections to Cordoba, Jerez and Cadiz.
 
ACTIVITIES
Seville is also known for its theatrically and intensity of life. This is expressed above all in the two festivals of Holy Week (5-12 April) and the Feria de Abril (27 April - 3 May), both are worth a visit.

The Provincial Museum of Fine Arts is a Baroque building, formerly the Convent of La Merced and contains paintings by Murillo, Valdes Leal, Zurbaran, El Greco, Alonso Cano and others. A new attraction is the 'Isla Magica' theme park on the old Expo site - great fun for children and adults alike.
