Seville
Passion Culture Adventure
and much more
Seville has everything. Here
you may witness history first
hand while also being part of
a vibrant modern city that
continues to grow at a sustainable
rate. A city which is known for its
great hospitality, a hospitality which
will make you want to enjoy the
city´s culture, gastronomy, leisure,
and sports.Seville was recently
designated as the number 1 city in
the world that you need to visit by
Lonely Planet in its renown annual
Best in Travel. This doesn't´t come as
a surprise as Seville boasts a huge
collection of historical and cultural
heritage due to its important role in
world history, which by itself would
be enough to attract thousands of
people, but what makes Seville
special is the way it manages to
maintain its tradition and essence
while also being one of the most
innovative and modern cities in
Europe.Seville is known for the
beauty and color of its streets and
buildings unique in their mix of Arab
and western architecture, something
that has caught the eye of many
Hollywood directors that have
decided to film in the city. Such is the
case of movies like Lawrence of
Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven, The
Dictator, Knight and Day and more
recently Star Wars, ¨The Royal Palace
of the Kingdom of Naboo¨, and
Game of Thrones, ¨Palace of the
Kingdom of Dorne¨, or as their truly
known: La Plaza de España and the
Real Alcázar de Sevilla.The people of
Seville are world renowned for their
hospitality and acceptance towards
strangers and this can be very well
perceived throughout the city when
going out for a meal, taking a stroll
or just using any type of public
services. The gastronomy of Seville is
also quite unique from the rest of
Spain as it hosts a large variety of
plates which represent the city´s
history of diversity. Meals are usually
taken in the form of ¨Tapas¨ where
many portions of different meals are
served at the request of the guest. If
this doesn´t suit you, you can always
have a traditional meal.After the
2008 c r i s i s , which profoundly
affected all of Spain, housing prices
in Spain plummeted causing
financial distress for many people,
but recently many cities in Spain like
Seville have started to recover at an
exponential rate creating an
incredible opportunity for investors
who can find cheap real estate at a
fraction of its previous value. This is
an investment that will increase in
value over time as the effects of the
crisis pass and Seville’s economy
recovers. Overall, Seville is truly a
magical city which perfectly
represents the dichotomy of modern
European cities, cities which have
been around for centuries but still
manage to look futuristic without
losing their true historical essence.
