Seville is the soul of southern Spain and the great gateway of the Al Ándalus. Its Gothic Cathedral — the largest in the world — rises beside the Giralda, the old minaret turned bell tower. The Mudéjar Real Alcázar, still a royal residence, hides courtyards and gardens of extraordinary beauty.
Add the monumental Plaza de España, the orange-scented lanes of Santa Cruz, the Torre del Oro on the river and an evening of flamenco, and you have a city made for arrivals and farewells.
