SEVILLE AND ITS BEAUTIES


A few words about a beautiful city
Seville is located in the southern region of Spain, making it one of the Spanish cities that enjoy the perfect climate for a spectacular holiday. This city is very important, not only for tourism in Spain but also for its economy and politics. It plays the role of provincial capital as it is the home of the Andalusian regional government. Seville is situated on a picturesque plain of the famous Guadalquivir River, the river that bisects the entire city from north to south. This allows the 700,000 inhabitants of Seville to enjoy the beautiful landscape that surrounds their city. The promenade along the Guadalquivir River is the perfect place for a romantic walk. However, the importance of the Guadalquivir River is far more than just being a beautiful place to take a stroll. Ships can navigate up the river to the Atlantic Coast, so Seville has played an important role in commerce since its founding. Commerce between Spain and the two Americas was far easier with the help of the Guadalquivir River. The river continues to be a major avenue of commerce, so Seville continues to be an important river port to this day.
The history of an interesting city
Seville was founded with the help of the Tartessians, the ones who founded Hispalis. After they founded Hispalis, the Romans took control and built Italica, a city very close to Seville. Soon Seville was built and was ruled for centuries by the Romans, until the Northern Barbarians arrived and conquered it. The Barbarians lost control of the area to the Moors, so the city that you see today is a very interesting combination of different architectural styles as every culture left its mark on every corner of the city. The 17th century was the most important period in the history of Seville, as this period was its most flourishing time. This is the century when Seville gave birth to some of the most important painters and sculptors of Spain. These artists left their works behind as their legacy, as is the case with the great Diego Velasquez and Martinez Montanes. Since you are in Seville, you will not be allowed to miss tasting its famous tapas. Seville is world renowned for being the birthplace of the delicious tapas. Thousands of bars and pubs are spread all over the city, waiting for their visitors to enjoy a cool drink and have a taste of this delicious Spanish dish.
