There’s a famous saying known to nearly all Spaniards which says that Sevilla tiene un color especial (Seville has a special color). This special color is immediately evident to any visitor to southern Spain’s largest city.

Although you might technically be in Europe while visiting the magical city of Seville, cultural influences from northern Africa and elsewhere are immediately palpable as soon as you set your eyes on the city.

One of the highlights for any visitor to Seville is the Seville Cathedral and its La Giralda tower. Seville was ruled by Moors from North Africa from 712-1248 AD during the period of Al-Andalus, and the tower and plaza of the cathedral was built in this period.

Another must-visit for any visitor to Seville is the Barrio de Santa Cruz. This neighborhood was the heart of Seville’s Jewish community during the medieval period of the city’s history. Its narrow, winding streets full of colorful buildings and beautiful balconies will stun any visitor.

Other sights to see for any tourist to Seville include the Plaza de España, widely recognized as one of the most beautiful squares in the world, and the Triana neighborhood.

In Triana, visitors can see a flamenco show and have some of Seville’s delicious tapas. This is an authentic of a cultural experience as one can get in this Andalusian city.
