The only thing missing in SEVILLE is the ocean. The province has three
distinct landscapes: in the North you will find mountain ranges;
in the central area you will find fertile farm land, especially around
the Guadalquivir river; and in the South you will find Doñana
National Park.
Seville, the capital of Andalusia, possesses an monumental wealth which is
second to none. Strolling through it's neighborhoods is the best way of
getting to know the city. Santa Cruz, part of the old Jewish legacy, is narrow
streets, the sound of water, gardens where forged steel imitates the natural
beauty of flowers, shady, and silent. Triana is the birthplace of flamenco, bullfighting
tradition, unique neighborly courts, and streets that maintain the flavor
of the old suburbs. It's reflections in the river can be admired from
Betis street. Triana is the home of the most artists in ceramics. San
Lorenzo is imperious and silent. The splendor of the Macarena district is
monopolized by its universal virgin. The María Luisa park is world
famous. It houses the Plaza de España and Plaza de América
which where built for the Latin American Exposition of 1929.
You won't want to miss the beautiful villages on the outskirts such as
Ecija, Carmona, Utrera, many around the Aljarafe region, as well as
some villages set in the mountains.
The cuisine includes some of the best-known dishes such as gazpacho, bull's
tail, fish fried in olive oil, chickpea stew and cured cod fish. As far
as candies are concerned there are special sweets made from egg-yolks
("Yemas de San Leandro") and special butter cookies
("mantecados").
