Cities for history and culture
Lovers of history and culture are spoiled for choice in Spain with so many cities and regions to explore. Here are a few which should definitely be on the list.
Seville. The centre of the city, capital of Andalucia, is made up of a labyrinth of tiny streets little changed since Medieval times. It is a fabulous place to visit for many reasons, not least for lovers of history as well as the theatre and music of all kinds.
You can see signs of Seville’s rich and vibrant past everywhere. There’s the outstanding cathedral and its bell tower, known as the Giralda, all that now remains of the original Moslem mosque which stood on this site. Nearby is the Alcazar, or Royal Fortress, still used by Spain’s Royal Family when they visit the city.
