Seville

SevilleThe city is the capital of Andalusia, the landscape of which represents a mix of mountains, beaches, vineyards, fields of olive, orange and lemon trees growing between the houses of the well-known courtyards of the region. Seville is one of Spain's central cities. Don Juan de Carmen was the one of the city's glories.
A great architecture of the city is expressed through historicalbuildings such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria, a gothic-style construction with an outstanding collection of art. It is also the placewhere the rests of Christopher Columbus and San Fernando lie. Seville is also the city of great monuments and among them one can find the Giralda, the Alcazar Palace (a Moorish building), and the Torre de Oro.
Each year since 1847 the citizens of Seville celebrate the April Festwhich follows Easter. The fest was established when women of Seville put on their best clothes and all the citizens spent their time eating, drinking and dancing sevillanas. Sevillians consider Easter and April Fest to be the two most important days for the city.
