Seville
Seville, the capital of Andalusia, is where flamenco, tapas, and Moorish architecture reach their most passionate expression. The city's monumental treasures — the vast Gothic cathedral with its Giralda tower, the exquisite Royal Alcázar, and the sweeping Plaza de España — are matched by an intoxicating street life of orange-blossom-scented lanes, horse-drawn carriages, and spirited fiestas. Seville's Semana Santa (Holy Week) and Feria de Abril are among Spain's most spectacular celebrations. The city straddles the Guadalquivir River and basks in more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
