Sevilla

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | Sevilla is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan, where bullfighting is still politically correct and little girls dream of growing up to become flamenco dancers. Sevilla has soul - and we feel it in its lacy Moorish palace, massive cathedral, lavish royal tombs, labyrinthine Jewish quarter, and its people-filled streets. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #sevilla

I lived in Spain for five years and Sevilla was my favorite city. I am homesick and embracing the nostalgia of the best days gone by.

I was born in Brasil, but raised in Sevilla then later moved to Madrid.....Spain is such a lovely country, Sevilla I love because it's such a calm lifestyle there. Recommend people to visit.

[@Rocketninja200]

+Matheus Oliviera Muller I've never been to a place that has people more kind, with more family/community oriented people, than Sevilla. That's a HUGE statement coming from me because most other Americans don't believe that I came from a community that if a farmer gets sick everyone chips in and helps with the work. If you can't find your car keys the response was, "Why didn't you leave them in the ignition". I was shocked to when I realized that a city in Spain felt more like home than 80% of the US. I must go back!

I lived in Seville for four months during college. I had the privilege of going to Feria. My classmates and I used to sit along the Gaudalquivir, where you walked, doing homework and drinking Coca cola. I was married not long after my time there and while there I bought a traditional flamenco dress in white and wore it along with a comb and mantilla, instead of a veil, at my wedding.

easter is the best time to go, because for us, April is a big month, and the city looks totally different. It is true that easter is the bussiest time in Sevilla, but that is because during it, we celebrate Holy Week (when you can see the most pupular holy week processions of Spain, and surely of the world), and also we celebrate "La feria de Abril" (Fair of April) which is the most popular fair of Spain too. The city is so colorful during easter and sunny. You would love it! However, Christmas is also a very good time to go, Christmas's nights in Seville are amazing and the weather is not bad!

[@Osutip]

3:05 "Spaniards consider Andalusia the home of flamenco" It's not that Spaniards consider it. It IS. Not only that, flamenco is just from Andalusia, not Spain. You can find people in Madrid, Bilbao, Valladolid or Barcelona who like flamenco, listen or dance to it, but it's not that different from finding that in New York. We all know it's not part of our traditions outside Andalusia (and maybe part of Extremadura and Murcia if at all).

[@79soleil]

Osutip soy de Murcia y no se que tiene q ver el flamenco con murcia. Aquí hay gente a la que le gusta (se hace uno de los festivales mas importantes a nivel nacional “el cante de las minas”) pero la música tradicional de Murcia es la jota murciana

Es cierto lo que usted dice. La música popular más extendida es la Jota. Fuera de Andalucía no hay apenas flamenco en ningún sitio. Sin embargo, cada pueblo de España tiene su Jota. Una música medieval que se funde en nuestras tradiciones. La Jota está extendida por todas las regiones de España; incluida Andalucía, por la zona de Jaén.

Love your videos Rick, but the Moors did not conquer the entire Iberian Peninsula. In fact several Christian kingdoms remained very much sovereign in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, and eventually prevailed and reclamied the land to the Moors: the Reconquista.

Yes, anthere is another error: Spain's Empire "did not crumble in the 18 century". In fact, it kept expanding in the "New World" and was the largest world Empire until the early 19th century (when it actually "crumbled").
