Top 10 Reasons to Travel to Sevilla
1) Spring in Sevilla
As the cooler winter weather gives way to the warm months of spring, delighted travelers and locals alike find Sevilla in all its glory. 
The orange trees lining the city's squares and cobblestone streets bloom and fill the air with the scent of orange blossoms, cafés set tables and chairs outside again, and the talk of the town once again turns to world-famous celebrations of Semana Santa and Feria de Abril.
2) Cathedral
Built between 1402 and 1506, Sevilla's spectacular gothic cathedral is the biggest- although the English and the Italians will argue otherwise- cathedral in the world. Its highlight, La Giralda, is a soaring bell tower still boasting the elaborate architecture and decoration typical of its Moorish roots. Since this former minaret of a mosque that once occupied the site was spared destruction, today visitors can still venture up the series of ramps for an unbeatable panorama of Sevilla.
3) Vibe

The notoriously friendly 700,000 people living within the city limits are known to enjoy life to the fullest, which results in an infectuously happy, carefree, and open atmosphere. In fact, if you ask a sevillano for directions, don't be surprised if he physically brings you to your destination, engaging all the way in a full conversation- regardless of whether or not you understand him!
4) Alcazar
Attracting travellers from near and far, Sevilla has long been a preferred destination of not only camera-toting tourists but also of Spanish monarchs. The king known as Pedro the Cruel was so fond of the city that he wanted to live and rule his kingdom from it, resulting in a total revamping of a 10th century Moorish fortess, converting it into a sprawling palace fit for – what else – a king. With its intricate designs and elaborate architectural forms, this impressive and original example of the Mudéjar style is not to be missed.
5) Flamenco
