* Seville is a very complete city, and the rich mixture of its history and modernity will add value to your Spanish course. Much of the history is still reflected in the monuments of the city (e.g. the Cathedral, the Giralda, the Alcázar, the Torre de Oro and the famous Barrio Santa Cruz quarter). If you would like to discover the popular customs of this region, you should visit Seville in the spring. The two most important festivities of this city take place within two weeks: Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week), with its world-famous processions, and Spain’s most famous Flamenco event, Feria de Abril. * It is the world center for bullfighting and flamenco music. * The "good life" is another of the traditions that the Sevillanos Sevillians like to maintain, as you will see from the many restaurants, bars and terraces that guarantee an entertaining and thrilling nightlife. Seville has one of the highest concentrations of bars in Spain! * Seville has an international airport, which makes for good communication between other Spanish cities and the rest of the world. Plus, it only takes 2 1/2 hours to reach Madrid (the capital of Spain) with the high-speed trains known as AVE.
