The best places and cities to visit in Spain

Seville

Seville is the capital of Andalucia as well as the cultural center of southern Spain.
With its courtyards, Moorish architecture and lush gardens, the Real Alcazar is what many travelers imagine when they picture an historic Andalusian city. Yet the centuries-old palace is just one of the attractions of sophisticated and sensual Seville. The city is one of the best places in Spain to experience the art of flamenco, and with its impressive collection of 17th-century Spanish paintings, the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville is one of the best in country as well. A climb to the top of the 12th-century Giralda tower gives visitors a clear view of all of Seville’s picturesque charms.
