Seville, the capital of Andalucia, is a picturesque, energetic city with antique white-washed buildings, lush gardens, and world-famous landmarks like the Alcazar and Plaza de Toros (the bullfighting ring). Visitors immerse themselves in its unique and historic culture; experience its flamenco clubs, theaters and discos; and dine in its outdoor cafes and restaurants. Seville is located in the south-central part of Spain and was once the home of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. It was also the returning point for the "new world" voyage of Christopher Columbus. This romantic city has been the home of Don Juan and the birthplace of the great painters Velasquez and Murillo.
