Seville
certainly is one of the most beloved places by visitors to Spain. Although today
Moorish influence is architectonically most evident - Andalusia was occupied by
Moors for about 800 years - it has been a cultural center long before. The fertility
of this land and its favorised climate with mild winters and about 3000 hours
of sun per year made Phoenicians and Carthaginians settle here. Later came Romans,
like almost to any place in Europe, and two of their emperors, Trajan and Hadrian,
in fact were born here. Seville was the home
of famous and infamous figures (history).
The legendary "Don Juan" started
from here to conquer the hearts of women across all Europe, while Columbus started
from a port close to Seville to discover a new world. When
you visit this city, you are in the very heart of Andalusian culture, the center
of bullfighting and Flamenco music. Take time and life easy, as Andalusians use
to do, and interrupt sightseeing from time to time to have a few "tapas", those
typical "small spanish dishes", and a glass of Sherry wine in one of the thousands
of bars in this city. |
