Live Your Best Lives
Seville, Spain's fourth-largest city and the country's only inland port, is a world-renowned city of history, culture, and scenic beauty. Its rise and fall epitomize the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire, standing as a testament to Spain's Golden Age.
Seville is unlike any other city in Spain. It's a perpetual feast, bursting with life and vibrant, vibrant colors. The city is perfumed with the fragrance of orange blossoms, whose trees dot its parks and streets, a symbol of its splendor. When the orange blossoms bloom, Seville welcomes the joyous April Festival and the grand celebrations of Holy Week.
Southern Spanish cities generally have higher temperatures than other areas, especially in the summer, when temperatures are so high that a visit is not recommended. Therefore, spring, early summer, or early autumn are good times to visit. Around April each year, Holy Week is a religious festival, and the southern part of Spain is particularly rich in the atmosphere of Holy Week. Each day features a parade with a different theme, and everyone dresses up, each with its own unique meaning. Therefore, this time of year is peak tourist season in the south.
Seville Cathedral
The Seville Cathedral is a must-see attraction in Seville. It is the third largest cathedral in the world. Its architectural style is a fusion of Gothic and Islamic styles. Climbing up the towering tower of the cathedral allows you to enjoy a panoramic view of Seville and hear the deafening sound of the bells.
Maria Luisa Park
Maria Luisa Park is the largest park in Seville, covering an area of more than 400,000 square meters. It was originally a romantic-style garden donated by Princess Luisa de Orléans and was rebuilt in 1929 for the Latin American Exposition.
