Seville is the capital of Andalucía and, with 700,000 residents, it’s the fourth largest city in Spain. With a cultural pedigree spanning two millennia and many contributors – among them are Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians, along with the great figures of the Spanish Renaissance – Seville is, to put it mildly, rich in history and tradition.

Today, students can explore Moorish palaces, narrow cobblestone streets and beautiful gardens, or enjoy an array of extra-curricular activities that includes theatre, concerts and museums. Getting lost in all the options – or in all those fascinating streets – is a problem easy to solve: just ask advice or directions from any of the friendly Sevillian hosts, who are famously open and warm, and delighted to engage in conversation with even the most fledgling students of Spanish.
