Seville
Seville
One of the first people to fall in love with Seville was the poet-king Al-Mutamid, and the city’s ability to dazzle has not abated since. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by its exuberant atmosphere – stylish, confident, ancient, proud, yet also convivial, intimate and fun-loving.
In keeping with the slow-burn nature of the city’s charms, two great monuments - the Muslim Alcázar and the Christian cathedral - reveal most of their glories only once you’re inside them. These, along with many other buildings and areas around Seville, are World Heritage Sites.
