Seville is the capital of Andalusia, a region of Southern Spain. It is situated on the plain of the River Guadalquivir, with an average elevation of 7 metres above sea level.

Seville is the fourth largest metropolitan area of Spain. Seville was a Romans province and later it was captured by Moors in 712. The city retains many Moorish features, including large sections of the city wall. The Great Plague of Seville in 1649 reduced the population by almost half. Seville is the city that better represents the 'real Spain': the siesta transforms in a desert the city, you can dance the Sevillanas (the original Seville flamenco) and you can find great tapas.

NO8DO is the city motto that you can find everywhere, on monuments, taxi, bus and on the caps of the municipal water system too. 'No madeja do' and it sounds like 'No me ha dejado', which means 'It [Seville] has not abandoned me'. This motto has a legend behind: it tells about the fidelity of the Sevillanos to the king Alfonso X after the reconquest of the city from the Muslims.

Seville's cathedral is the largest medieval and gothic cathedral in the world, built in XV century on the former site of the city's mosque and the minaret was converted into a bell tower.

The Alcazar is the royal palace, originally a Moorish fort, one of the best remaining examples of mudéjar architecture in Seville. Other important monuments in Seville: Torre del oro, the Town Hall, the University building, and Plaza de Espana, an enormous square south of the city center that hosts the Militar Museum.

There are a lot of museums in the city, for example the Museum of Fine Arts, the Flamenco Art Museum and the Palace of the Countess of Lebrija.

In Seville you can find parks and gardens everywhere: the Parque Maria Luisa , the Alcazar Gardens and many more. Don't miss the Isla Magica, a theme park, built on the site of the 1992 Universal Exposition.
Looking around in Seville: El Arenal, the ancient port of the city, Barrio de Santa Cruz, the city's old Jewish quarter and the  particular city center of course.
