Seville Travel Guide

Universal Seville has entered the 21st century in great form, adapting her urban framework to the functionality and modernity required by the capital of an autonomous province, but without comprising the historical city that was for centuries the gateway to the New World. Seville today amalgamates the past, present and future perfectly, uniting modern business practice with the old ways and local colour in an inimitable way. Seville is made up of four major parts: the old part of the city, the site of the 1929 Exposition, Triana and the Isla de la Cartuja (Island of la Cartuja).

Nighttime at La Alameda La Alameda used to be the stage for Seville’s shadiest characters, but this outdoor esplanade has long since reinvented itself... Read More

The Feria-est of Them All The Feria-est of Them All

Well, Semana Santa is over, but the memories of a truly one-of-a-kind experience will remain forever. Never have I experienced something of such tradition with people as passionate as the Spanish. Standing on a dark street at 4am with no light but glimmering candles illuminating the path for hundreds of robed men as they carried massive gold-drenched structures of bible scenes, just as they’ve done for hundreds of years, among crowds of proud... Read More
