Seville (is spelled Sevilla in Spanish) is big city in the South of Spain, in Europe. There is a big river called the Guadalquivir River which goes through Seville.

There is nowhere else in Spain that complies so closely with the foreigner's perception of stereotypical Spain.  For it is here that flamenco, bullfighting and fiesta are a way of life.  Never more so than during the Feria de Abril (2 weeks after Easter Sunday) when everyone seems to hit the streets for a week long party.

Seville (Sevilla) is one of Spain's major cities and Seville is also the capital of the Andalusia region. With an enormous amount to offer both the tourist and business traveller, Seville is a friendly and captivating place to visit.

With a subtropical climate and an average on more than 300 days sunshine, the coastline near to Seville has many wonderful beaches and has become a popular place to relax, particularly in and around the Costa del Sol.

The large River Guadalquivir lies on the western side of the city centre and this beautiful expanse of water provides then perfect place for a romantic stroll and there are also scenic boat trips that start from the Torre del Oro. Across the River Guadalquivir are many churches, monuments and neighbourhoods, waiting to be discovered.
