Welcome to Seville! , the city where I live in. As capital of Andalusia, it is the fourth largest city in Spain with a population of 704.114 inhabitants within the metropolitan area.
The city is one of the most touristic spot in the country. There are lots of interesting places to visit, as the Cathedral and its Giralda tower, the Plaza de España (Spain's square), the Alcazar (Fortress), the Fine Arts Museum... Of course, there are two important traditional events in town: the Holy Week (religious) and the April's Fare (festive). I'm increasing my page constantly because I would like to show you every monument and interesting fact of my city. Please, visit it frequently and comment to me what do you think about!
Let's go to discover this amazing city!

The Seville's coat-of-arms represents the King Ferdinad III, the Saint (1230-1252), who reconquered the city from the Moorish in 1248. He is between the Sevillian bishpops Saint Leander and Saint Isidoro. There is the motto "NO - DO" linked by a skein above them. It's an hieroglyphic granted by the King Alphonso the Wise (1252-1284) to the city being grateful for the loyalty with him. It's read "NO - MADEJA - DO" in Spanish (It didn't give me up)
El escudo de Sevilla representa al Rey Fernando III el Santo (1230-1252), que reconquistó la ciudad en 1248. Está entre los dos obispos sevillanos San Leandro y San Isidoro. Sobre ellos está el lema "NO - DO", unido por una madeja. Es un jeroglífico otorgado por el Rey Alfonso X el Sabio (1252-1284) a la ciudad para agradecerle su lealtad con él. Se lee "NO - MADEJA - DO" (No me ha dejado)

Antonio, que lindas fotos de Sevilla. Estuve algo enfermo durante mi visita, pero goze bastante. Falta volver a verlo bien.
Saludos de Estados Unidos.val
Lovely photos here!! :)
Some absolutely great tips on Seville which will come in so useful in April! Thanks!
Hi Antonio! Great pages on Sevilla! I'm moving there in July. Can't wait to live in such a beautiful city. I'm now even more excited after reading your pages. The bi-lingual site is also good for my Spanish! Thanks, Best wishes Kate
The Archivo was the neatest thing I visited in Sevilla--everything in the city was worthwhile, this was just the best! It is the sexiest, friendliest city I have been to outside of north America.
Gorgeous opening photo on your Intro! Many excellent tips. Have copied and pasted most to take with. Thanks. P.S. - really like your ppp too :)
excellent page! if im ever back again to do Seville a bit more I will take your pages with me!
Hey, I'm going to be in Sevilla in September too, enjoying your pics and tips.
We will be in Sevilla in September, so I will visit your page every now and then to read your tips!
loved Sevilla so much when I visited. Kansas City where I grew up is the sister city of Sevilla and shares its love of fountains!
