Seville has always been a romantic place to visit. The city's non-European "feel", perhaps due to the Moorish influences on much of the architecture, seems to lend itself to gentle strolls through narrow streets full of whitewashed houses, of which the interior courtyards are brimmming over with flowers. Through its links with the New World, Seville became extremely wealthy in the 15th and 16th centuries, nurturing the artistic talents of such masters as Murillo and Velazquez. This book details many of the attractions of Seville, including Christopher Columbus' tomb in the Cathedral, sampling mouthwatering tapas, attempting the famous "sevillana" dances or climbing the Giralda tower, and the city of Bizet's "Carmen" must come high on the readers list of holiday destinations.
