Seville, Spain — Travel Guide
Spain•
4.7/5.0

Seville

Spain's flamenco soul — a city of orange blossoms, Moorish palaces, and tapas culture unlike anywhere else in Europe. The Real Alcazar rivals the Alhambra, the Gothic cathedral is the largest ever built, and the whitewashed Santa Cruz quarter conceals beautiful courtyards behind every iron gate. Seville's tapas are traditionally free with every drink.
