Capital of the province of Andalusia, Seville is the 4th largest city in Spain. A city with a rich history, it boasts a wide range of cultural attractions. The Cathedral of Seville is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world and houses the tomb of famous explorer, Christopher Columbus. Moorish influences on the city can be seen in the royal fortified palace, the Alcázar. Seville has a long tradition of flamenco dancing, which is thought to have originated in the old gypsy quarter of Triana. The Barrio Santa Cruz is well known for its wide selection of bars and gardens, as well as a huge number of tapas restaurants. Well-known festivals here include the processions during Holy Week and the Seville Spring Fair. Home to the famous Seville oranges, this city offers visitors a real taste of southern Spanish flair.
