Seville, a city with a captivating history situated on the banks of the smooth, slow Guadalquivir River. This majestic river divides the city into two halves, Sevilla and Triana. Throughout history, the Guadalquivir has played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of Seville. Its location marks the end of the river's navigable path and the beginning of the bountiful cereal producing region of the Guadalquivir Valley. Seville, acting as a sea-port, became the hub of commerce for the agricultural goods from the west. This bustling trade flourished during Roman times, continued under Muslim rule, and reached its peak when Seville dominated the new trade with the Americas. However, as the monopoly was broken and Cdiz took Seville's place, the city experienced a period of relative decline. But fear not, for in the 19th century, Seville rose once again, gaining worldwide acclaim for its remarkable architecture and vibrant culture. The city became a coveted destination for travelers embarking on the Romantic "Grand Tour" of Europe. Seville's tourism industry continued to soar, and in 1992, it hosted the International Exposition. This pivotal event led to major improvements in the city's infrastructure, including a new airport, a modern train station, a high-speed bullet train link to Madrid, stunning new bridges, and enhancements to its grand boulevards. Today, Seville stands tall with top-notch tourist facilities and a vibrant atmosphere filled with festivals, colors, and a thriving nightlife scene.
