No question in my mind that Spain is filled with incredible cities, so much so in fact, that you’re unlikely to be able to visit them all in one trip – unless you’re embarking on a really hardcore itinerary that is! And that means, of course, that it’s likely you’ll have to select which cities […]

Rising above the historic centre, this ancient fortress (which dates back to the first century), has withstood the test of time to defend the city across multiple invaders and empires throughout its chequered history.

One of Spain’s most historic and opulent cities, Seville oozes elegance and charm. When strolling around this city, the opulent and almost regal quality of much of the architecture helped me understand the strong cultural pride and identity Seville’s citizens are famous for.
