Visiting Seville
The Alcazar is Seville's wonder; the Alcazar is one of those monuments in Seville that tell the story of the city, the place from where all the rulers of the city have wielded their power starting with the time when the Romans conquered it. The Alcazar was a stunning palace that had to meet the needs of al-Mu'tadid, the ruler who wanted space for his 800 women and for his creepy gardens planted in the skulls of his dead enemies. The Giralda is a wonderful attraction of Seville, the monument that the Moors tried unsuccessfully to destroy. Now the Giralda is the tower of the famous Christian Cathedral, the same Cathedral that became the symbol of the city displaying a magnificent Gothic architecture dating back to the 15th century. Besides the attractions represented by the historical monuments, Seville has a couple of festivals full of joy, color and good mood: the Semana Santa that takes place every week before Easter, and the famous April Fair where the flamenco dancers create the typical Spanish atmosphere, and the bullfighting shows make your blood run through your veins.
You must visit Seville, that pleasant city that became famous thanks to its women and thanks to the oranges; you can imagine the beauty of the orange groves that surround the city and the picturesque views that they create! Since you are there, try to spend a few hours in the Maria Luisa Park, as it is an elegant and relaxing corner of the city, a place where you can run away from the agitation of the crowds. One other thing that you must do in Seville is to go to the Bar Modesto; it is said that Seville is the place where the delicious tapas were invented, so you have to taste the ones served in Bar Modesto. Have fun!
