"Sevilla doesn't have ambience, it is ambience." -- James Michener

"This is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan, where bullfighting is still politically correct and where little girls still dream of growing up to become flamenco dancers. While Granada has the great Alhambra, and Córdoba has the remarkable Mezquita, Sevilla has soul. It's a great-to-be-alive-in kind of place...It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by Sevilla." *

Spain's fourth largest city (700,000) is divided into several old districts. The Barrio de Santa Cruz, Seville's old Jewish quarter, is maze of narrow winding streets and little courtyards surrounding La Giralda. El Arenal, the former munitions, warehouses and shipyard district, now houses the largest bullring in Spain.
