Seville is an incredible city—I’ve lived here for a year and a half, and I still haven’t run out of cultural attractions to visit. The heart of Andalusia can easily be toured over a weekend or for weeks at a time, since it has a manageable amount of major attractions and an enormous stock of less famous but equally impressive sights.
