Why visit Seville?
Seville is the heart of Andalusia in southern Spain — 700,000 people, capital of flamenco, and home to Spain's most extraordinary Moorish architecture. Real Alcázar (UNESCO palace, Game of Thrones Dorne filming location), Seville Cathedral (world's largest Gothic + final resting place of Christopher Columbus), and Plaza de España (1929 Expo with tile alcoves of every Spanish region) anchor the tourist core. Hot dry summers regularly exceed 40°C — the city largely empties for Spanish siesta.
Iconic Andalusian dishes: Tapas (small plates $3-6 each — try Eslava, Bodega Santa Cruz Las Columnas), Salmorejo (cold tomato soup with ham + egg, $8-12), Jamón ibérico de bellota ($15-25 per plate), Gazpacho ($6-10), Pescaíto frito (fried fish, $10-15), Tinto de verano (red wine + lemon soda, $3-5), Sherry from Jerez ($4-8 per glass).
Bottom line: Seville is the most authentic Andalusian experience + flamenco birthplace. 3 days hits Alcázar + Cathedral + Triana flamenco + day trip to Córdoba.
