Location
Seville, Spain
The fourth-largest city in Spain, Seville is the capital of Andalusia and situated on the River Guadalquivir. Originally founded as a Roman city in 711, endless historical beauty awaits. From cathedrals to palaces, travelers don’t have to be interested in architecture to appreciate the glory that is Seville.
Home to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, sand beaches galore, and cuisine to dream about, this city is never short of entertainment for travelers and locals alike. Seville’s influence by Islamic rule in the Moorish period can be seen all over, especially in the architecture. It offers a historical perspective unique to Spain which stands apart from more popular study abroad locations such as Madrid and Barcelona. Its close proximity to both Africa and the rest of Europe makes destinations like Morocco and Portugal easy add-on trips.
Famous for its warm climate and relaxed pace of living, locals balance work and play with mid-day siestas and plenty of opportunities for celebration in town.
If you’d appreciate any of the following, then Seville might be the place for you!
- Walkable city with warm breezes
- Tapas
- Futbol (soccer)
- Flamenco (dance and music style of the Southern Spanish people)
- Springtime festivals (Holy Week, April Fair)
- Baroque art, cathedrals and architecture
- Cycling, kayaking or boating
- Ceramics
