Seville is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen to date. The amazing architecture has Islamic influence and visibly stands out as the distinguishing factor in the city. Locals are quick to make friends and are extremely proud of their city and country. Don't miss the Giralda, Museo de Bellas Artes, Semana Santa with its beautiful processions during Holy Week and Feria a few weeks after, when families spend the week dancing, drinking and socializing within their own casetas.
