About Seville

Seville (Spanish: Sevilla) is one of Spain’s largest cities, with a population of over 700,000. It is the capital of Andalusia, in the south of Spain. The Guadalquivir River runs through the city and has shaped Seville’s history as an important river port.

Today, Seville combines historic neighborhoods, lively public squares, and major landmarks. Areas such as Triana, Santa Cruz, and La Macarena are popular with visitors for local culture, architecture, and food.

Art, food and culture

Seville is known for its culture, traditions, and friendly atmosphere. You will find museums, galleries, theaters, and many places to enjoy live music and local events.

It is also famous for tapas. In many bars, you can try small dishes and share them with friends, which makes meals more social and relaxed. Typical local flavors include fried fish, cured ham, olive oil, gazpacho, and salmorejo.

A little history lesson

Seville has a long history that includes Roman, Islamic, and Christian periods. Landmarks such as La Giralda show this cultural mix.

In November, when ICERI is held, Seville's climate is generally mild and pleasant, with many sunny days. Daytime temperatures are comfortable, averaging around 20 °C (68 °F), while evenings and nights tend to be cooler.
