Sevilla ... 
According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hércules and its origins are linked with the Tartessian civilisation. It was called Hispalis under the Romans and Isbiliya with the Moors. Its high point in its history was following the discovery of America (historical records of the American Continent are kept in the Town Hall!)
Sevilla lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir River and is one of the largest historical centres in Europe. It has the Minaret of La Giralda, the Cathedral (one of the largest in Christendom), and the Alcázar Palace. Part of its treasure includes Casa de Pilatos, (the Town Hall), the Fine Arts Museum (the second largest picture gallery in Spain), plus convents, parish churches and palaces.
It has hosted two international exhibitions (1929 and 1992) and is the administrative capital of Andalucía. The quarter of Triana on the other side of the river, La Macarena, Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé, the street of Las Sierpes, plus La Maestranza Bullring, María Luisa Park and the riverside walks are all representative images of Sevilla.
For all its important monuments and fascinating history, Sevilla is universally famous for being a joyous town. While the Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle, the city itself is striking for its vitality. It is the largest town in Southern Spain - the city of Carmen, Don Juan and Fígaro.
The Sevillians are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual Feria de Abril, a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially mounted tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses.
Immediately before that is Holy Week, Semana Santa, a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by huge baroque floats on which sit images of the Virgin or Christ, all surrounded by cheerful crowds. Both spring events are well worth experiencing.
In Sevilla, you will want to visit the old city, with the Cathedral and the Giralda Tower at its heart. (You can climb the steps inside the tower for a magnificent view of the city). Very close by are the Royal Mudéjar Palace, known as the Alcázar, with marvellous gardens, and the Santa Cruz quarter, with cramped streets, flowered balconies, richly decorated facades and hidden patios. Other sights not to be missed are, in the old city, the Casa de Pilatos, a large sixteenth-century mansion where Mudéjar, Gothic and Renaissance styles blend harmoniously amidst exuberant patios and gardens and, crossing the Triana bridge over the large Guadalquivir River, the lively popular quarter of Triana with charming narrow streets around the church of Santa Ana and traditional ceramic factories.
Don't miss out on the tapas! The city is credited with their invention and has more than a thousand bars where the choice of food is virtually unlimited, from seafood to ham and sausage, from vegetable to cheese. The Sevillians actually make a meal of them, moving from bar to bar and trying one dish at a time.
