Seville, the administrative capital of Andalucia, surrounds the banks of the picturesque Guadalquivir river.

The Seville Cathedral is a mish-mash of styles, starting with the moorish Almohade Minaret, known as the Giralda, flying buttresses, and discongruent add-ons. It’s the second largest cathedral in the world besides the Vatican.

The Alcázar, is another splendid example of Moorish architecture, a Mudéjar palace. You’ll enjoy wandering around the lovely gardens and fountains in the courtyard.
