What to expect
Elegance of relief, abundance of beauty
Seville is a city with a rich historical heritage, where several architectural styles are intertwined. Taking a stroll along the Guadalquivir River promenade, you will enjoy architectural diversity and learn about the centuries-old history of the Iberian Peninsula. As we approach the center, we will encounter the buildings of the University and Lope de Vega Theater. I will tell you what Triana district is famous for, why the local tower was named Golden, which Seville aristocrat became the prototype of Don Juan, and how Columbus and Magellan are connected to Seville.
Legends of bygone times
We will talk about the modern life of the city, the mentality, and traditions of its inhabitants. You will learn about the origins and current celebration of the Seville April Fair and the grand festival of Semana Santa. Near the monument to the Duchess of Alba close to Saint Telmo Palace, I will share interesting facts about the most titled person in the world, and on the way to Plaza de España, I will talk about the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929.
You will be able to take a walk through the tobacco factory where Carmen worked, have a cup of coffee at Don Juan's tavern hidden in the labyrinth of streets of the former Jewish quarter, see the city's landmark - the Giralda Tower, and the most beautiful cathedral where Columbus and his son are buried. And finally, standing by the walls of Alcazar, you will touch the secrets of the oldest active residence of the Catholic kings and remember the movies that were filmed there.
