Few European cities combine history, beauty and walkability as seductively as Seville in southern Spain, balmy even in winter and perfumed by the blossoms of some 40,000 orange trees. It’s been home to Romans, Moors and finally the Spanish, who in 1503 made the city Spain’s principal port, vastly enriching it. The capital of Andalusia, Seville ticks many boxes for travellers seeking quintessential Spain — flamenco, gazpacho, bullfights, equestrian culture and colourful ceramic tiles.
