SEVILLA according to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules and its origins are
linked with the Tartessian civilisation. It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the
Moors. The high point in its history was following the discovery of America in 1492. For all its important
monuments and fascinating history, Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town. While the
Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle, the city itself is striking for its vitality. It is the largest
town in Southern Spain, the city of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro.
It has hosted two international exhibitions (1929 and 1992) and is the administrative capital of
Andalucía. The quarter of Triana on the other side of the river, La Macarena, Santa Cruz and San
Bartolomé, the street of Las Sierpes, plus La Maestranza bullring, María Luisa park and the riverside
walks are all representative images of Sevilla.
The Sevillians are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual Feria
de Abril, a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a
thousand especially mounted tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and
the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses. Immediately before that is HolyWeek,
SemanaSanta, a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by
huge baroque floats on which sit Images of the Virgin or Christ, surrounded by cheerful crowds. Both
Spring events are well worth experiencing.
In Sevilla, you will want to visit the old city, with the Cathedral and the Giralda tower at its
heart. (You can climb the steps inside the tower for a magnificent view of the City). Very close by are
the royal Mudéjar palace known as the Alcazar with marvellous gardens and the Santa Cruz quarter,
with cramped streets, flowered balconies, richly decorated facades, hidden patios... Other sights not to
be missed are, in the old city, the Casa de Pilatos, a large sixteenth-century mansion where Mudejar,
Gothic and Renaissance styles blend harmoniously amidst exuberant patios and gardens and,
crossing the Triana bridge over the large GuadalquívirRiver, the lively popular quarter of Triana with
charming narrow streets around the church of Santa Ana and traditional ceramic factories.
Don't miss out on the tapas. The city is credited with their invention and has more than a
thousand bars where the choice of food, is virtually unlimited, from seafood to ham and sausage, from
vegetable to cheese. The Sevillians actually make a meal of them, moving from bar to bar and trying
one dish at a time.
