Andalucia, which runs along the coast of southern Spain and includes the popular Costa des Sol, has the beautiful and culturally rich city of Seville as its capital. To the north, the region is capped by the Sierra Nevada range.
Figaro, Carmen and Don Juan all found their way to the stage in this fabulously artistic and romantic city. But the list of offerings doesn't end there. Visit in the spring and take part in the most elaborate of Holy Week processions with Semena Santa, or share in the festivities, fairs, and fiesta of the Feria de Abril, held a few weeks later.
If you miss the festivals and still want to take in the Spanish flair for entertaining, take in a show of flamenco dancers, mingle with the people of Seville over a serving of tapas or, if you can stomach it, view a bullfight.
Venture out of the city and take in the fresh mountain air. Follow the trail that leads to a few easily accessibly peaks of the Sierra Morena.
While there are a number of historical sights, the Cathedral is unquestionably the most impressive. This Gothic building is the largest in the world.
Also of note is the palace-fortress of Alcazar. An exquisite sampling of Moorish architecture, this remarkable structure offers glimpses into the lifestyle of the Arab kings who occupied the area for five hundred years.
