Guide to Seville

S Quick P

Description

Seville is one of the most charming cities in Spain with its favourable climate and relaxed atmosphere. It is steeped in history and has a unique Moorish heritage that bequeaths the city a large collection of interesting buildings as well as those that are a legacy of the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. These five walks give the tourist an opportunity to visit and enjoy not only the major attractions that a guided tour usually includes but also many of the other interesting sights that people do not always see. This book will help you experience the atmosphere of different areas in Seville with its gardens, palaces, religious institutions, museums and other buildings, transporting you back through time by walking through the smaller streets and hidden plazas that have a historical and cultural significance with their blend of architectural styles. By providing five different walking routes and detailed information about each attraction passed it puts a visitor to Seville in charge of the time spent at any particular place rather than having to rush and keep up with a guide. With detailed instructions of how to get from one place to another it gives a flavour of the many things that Seville has to offer without having to join costly guided tours.
