Seville certainly is one of the most beloved places by visitors to Spain. Although today Moorish influence is architectonically most evident - Andalusia was occupied by Moors for about 800 years - it has been a cultural centre long before. The fertility of this land and its favoured climate with mild winters and about 3000 hours of sun per year made Phoenicians and Carthaginians settle here. Later came Romans, like almost any place in Europe, and two of their emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, in fact were born here. When you visit this city, you are in the very heart of Andalusian culture, the centre of bullfighting and Flamenco music. Take yourself time and take life easy, as Andalusians use to do, & interrupt sightseeing from time to time to have a few 'tapas', those typical 'small Spanish dishes', & a glass of Sherry wine in one of the probably thousands of bars in this city.
