Seville is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, and the one that best keeps its traditions alive. Students can explore its many historic landmarks including the Cathedral and Giralda Tower, Alcázar or take a cruise on the Rio Guadalquiver. Immerse yourself in Spanish culture and learn about the traditional dance of Spain at the Flamenco Museum, and also the history of Bullfighting at the Maestranza Bullring.

The city is rich in both Islamic and Catholic architecture as well as traditional whitewashed houses and narrow streets. The highlight is undoubtedly the fabulous Alhambra Palace, described by some as ‘the most exciting, sensual and romantic of all European monuments’ - it’s a must for all groups.
