SEVILLE - SPAIN

This is a city I love and for so many reasons!
Since very early I come to Seville at least one day in the Summer and the sun , the heat , the oranges , the memories, the light, the tapas are always a reason to come back.According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules.

Place of Spain
Sevilla lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir and is one of the largest historical centres in Europe, it has the minaret of La Giralda, the cathedral and the Alcázar Palace.
Some quarters are famous for the typical cobalt narrow streets ,Triana , La Macarena, Santa Cruz and San Bartolomé but mostly La Maestranza bullring below.
Seville is famous for being joyous town. The city of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro.

The Hotel Alfonso XIII one landmark of Sevilla. The Sevillians have their most important events in Fería de Abril, where the men parade on their fine horses and the women dance in their coloured gypsy dresses and the Holy week.

The Giralda is one of the most magnificent buildings in Seville and dominates the skyline.

Sevilla is also the home of one of my favorite hotels - HACIENDA BENAZUZA
