Do the people of Sevilla (I'll use the Spanish spelling since VT does!) have a secret that the rest of us don't know about? Judging by the beauty of the city, the preserved histories of ancient cultures and the spectacular cuisine, it seems that they have mastered the art of living. In many ways, Sevilla is a typical city. It has its share of problems, from notorious petty crime and pollution to high unemployment. However, the people of Sevilla seem to know how to enjoy life's blessings- a beautiful river, the sound of a guitar, children and the elderly, to name a few.
I came to Sevilla expecting great things and I was not disappointed. The Moorish influences from centuries ago have endured to this day and have left their mark in the form of exceptional architecture and cuisine. I'll always remember sitting in the shadow of the spectacular Mudejar tower, La Giralda, eating tapas. The thought makes my mouth water just remembering. I can smell oranges painting the air with their scent and see the people of Sevilla smiling and chattering in their typically exuberant fashion and I am grateful to them for coloring my memories so brightly.

Good tips for my trip to Sevilla in September, thanks!
Mark, thanks for the tips. Looking forward to my visit in September.
Good page. I'm going there at Christmas'. Ciao!
Keen observation..smart tips!!
Thank you so much for all you have written about Sevilla. I am sure it will help me a lot!
Such an interesting page Mark. Imagine the Pilates house being modelled on Pontious Pilates own house. Yes the college students probably dont see their beautiful campus the way visitors do.
wow.. excellent pages on Sevilla.. I remember visiting Sevilla when I was a kid but don't remember details.. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures and helpful tips with us.. I'd love to visit Sevilla again sometime in future.
LOVE your vivid Sevilla pages. I am still trying to get my family to do some for me (I was too busy trying to organise a large family group to see much of this stunning city!)
Hi Mark. I just love your webpage. I live in Seville and I think you have caught the soul of this city. You're very respectful with our traditions, religion and way of live. Perfect page!
