Explore Old Sevilla with a Modern Touch
Seville is the capital city of the autonomous community of Andalusia in Spain. It is a rich historical city with influences from its Islamic Moorish and Roman inhabitants from centuries past. It is divided into two by the river Guadalquivir, Seville and Triana. It has a population of over 700,000 people and it is a top tourist destination with three UNESCO World Heritages sites; namely the General Archive of the Indies, The Cathedral, where the remains of Christopher Columbus were interred, and the Alcazar Palace Complex, which was built in the 14th Century. Seville's centuries old architecture gloriously stands side by side with modern architecture built for the International Expo in 1992, which includes: a modern airport, a train station and a bullet train link to Madrid, the capital city of Spain, making it very easy to travel into and around it. The cultural city has a vibrant night scene with many places to visit, such as the Isla Cartuja, Plaza Alfalfa and Calle Betis. The activities to do in Seville include: attending a bullfight and the April Fair, which is a celebration after the sombre Easter period. It is a laid-back tourist city with a choice of accommodation to stay at while visiting.

Seville is a beautiful city. Despite its size, it has remained calm and is very pleasant to visit. In the fall, the weather is perfect for visiting this city. And also beautiful vegetation. The restaurants and the food they serve are really good and the prices are very affordable.
