What A Beautiful City!
by Krystynn
Start your sightseeing expedition by exploring every nook and cranny of this fabulous Andalucian city - on foot. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by Sevilla's unique atmosphere... her magnificence and old world charms. Go on. Climb up to the top of La Giralda (your heart and stamina permitting) and take some lovely photographs of the city of Sevilla.
Can you spot Sevilla's most famous 18th century bullring (which happens to be one of Spain's oldest) - Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza in the distance?
Santa Cruz quarter, christian influence
by tompt
In the heart of Seville a district with winding alleys. It was the Jewish district in the middle ages, and was under protection of the Crown after the reconquest. At the end of the 14th century it was taken over by the Christians who changed all the synagogues into churches. And this christian influence can also be seen in the statues of the Holy Mary.
See the Plaza de España, in...
by Raffa
See the Plaza de España, in addition, you will want to visit the old city, with the Cathedral and the Giralda tower at its heart. (You can climb the steps inside the tower for a magnificent view of the City) Very close by are the royal Mudéjar palace known as the Alcazar with marvellous gardens and the Santa Cruz quarter, with cramped streets, flowered balconies, richly decorated facades, hidden patios... Other sights not to be missed are, In the old city, the Casa de Pilatos, a large sixteenth-century mansion where Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance styles blend harmoniously amidst exuberant patios and gardens and, crossing the Triana bridge over the large Guadalquívir river, the lively popular quarter of Triana with charming narrow streets around the church of Santa Ana and traditional. ceramic factories.
Don't touch the fruit
by betis1
Many times (but not always) in supermarkets you need to wait for the attendant to pick your fruit. Unlike in the U.S. you can't always reach out and squeeze that tomato or plum to see if it is ripe. You can, however, ask that they pick out a certain piece of fruit for you if it looks good.
