It`s always on the top list of the 50 cities that each and every human being must visit in a lifetime and it has stood on the 7th position in Top 10 Best Cities by Travel &Leisure Industry, comfortably, for two years.
It`s the city where the holiday, the flamenco, the lunches and the stunning tapas, the conviviality and the joy are the only purpose of living here. Bizet with its Carmen and Rossini and its Barber of Seville chose it as a perfect setting for their operas, that became extremely famous all over the world. Its colors are incredible, the flamenco spirit perfectly fits people´s passion, it has an aristocratic elegance, and its scent is unique and unforgettable: orange flowers and Guadalquivir breeze.
