"City full of traditions" Sevilla by Mahieu

Sevilla Travel Guide: 2,207 reviews and 5,567 photos

Since a long time I wanted to visit Sevilla and finally, in March 2004, I was able to spend 5 days in this beautiful southern-Spanish city.
I wanted to practise my Spanish a bit, but this was easier said than done, because the local dialect is quite difficult to understand, especially when spoken by elderly people! :-)

Sevilla is indeed a very beautiful city, but for one reason or another I prefered the atmosphere of other Spanish cities like Barcelona or Madrid. But this has probably to do with the fact that I traveled alone and didn't get into the typical tapasbars or nightlife scene. Will come back definitely and will probably have a whole other opinion, cause enjoying Spain is indeed about those things too and not only about the beauty of its cities.

Pros and Cons

Pros:very beautiful and charming
In a nutshell:will come back to enjoy the soul of the city

Last visit to Sevilla: Mar 2004

Visit my Sevilla page to have a close look at a picture of "El Giraldillo", the human iron representation atop of the Giralda.
