Seville

Seville, with its Roman and Moorish influences, will charm anyone who sets foot here. From the flamenco dancing to outrageous religious architecture, this Andalucian city is flamboyant and it knows it. As they say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. And Seville does just that.

The UNESCO Heritage listed palace of Alcazar is a great place to start. Built in the 1300s, this sprawling palace is a marvel of architecture and is so beautiful it’s hard to believe it’s not a CGI-created set of a movie. Keep the ball of disbelief rolling by next visiting the Gothic masterpiece of the Catedral – one of the biggest churches in all of the Christian world.

Appreciate the Moroccan influence of Seville with a relaxing visit to the hammam Aire Banos Arabes. The tranquil setting and traditional bathing process will have you feeling rejuvenated.

Chow down on some tapas and then catch a flamenco show. To understand the dance form better pay a visit to the Museo del Baile Flamenco with its three floors dedicated to art and costumes. You can even do a class or workshop! Escape the city at the beautiful Parque de Maria Luisa.
