Seville is the fourth largest city in Spain and the capital of Andalucía.
The city centre is bursting with beautiful buildings decorated with tiles and wrought iron balconies.
Seville’s Gothic cathedral and the Moorish bell-tower La Giralda (the former minaret of the mosque)
The Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold) on the banks of the Guadalquivir River
The Real Alcazar (Royal Palace) is a beautiful Mudejar (Moorish) style palace with a myriad of exquisitely decorated rooms and lavish courtyards, gardens, pools and fountains.
Seville’s Plaza de Toros (bull ring) is the oldest ring in Spain and it’s considered one of the world’s most challenging bull fighting stages because of its characteristics, history and unforgiving audience.

The Plaza de España, built in the early 20th century for an exposition
At ground level, the walls of the Plaza were decorated with tiled alcoves each representing a different province of Spain
The Museo de Bellas Artes (Museum of Fine Arts)
A Moorish Ambush – Fernando Tirado
The Metropol Parasol designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann
We saw an amazing Flamenco performance – one guitarist, one singer, one male dancer, one female dancer
