Get Moorish from Seville

Karen Goldman - 09th March 2010

Seville is a city that seems to stay on your 'to do' list, you have to see it once in your life. It's one of the most romantic cities in Spain, now is the time to head there.
It's a melting pot of architectural styles through the ages with beautiful Moorish courtyards boasting elegant tiles and Spanish whitewashed buildings with both a Gothic and Renaissance twist.
Autumn would be a glorious time to venture to this fascinating place, which you can explore by foot, new tram and metro systems.
Start your day exploring the narrow, winding cobbled alleyways of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, which contains some beautiful old and restored houses, with cool inner courtyards and rooftop terraces.
You should then make your way to Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic temple in the world. Get ready for the 97 metre climb up the Giralda Tower adjoining the Cathedral, to have some of the best panoramic views of the city. Nearby is the Real Alcazar (Royal Palace).
Do not leave Seville without visiting an authentic flamenco show.
So if you want a taste of the real Spain, in a romantic setting, head for the city of oranges.
