Studying the colouring map of Seville, the first thing we wanted to visit was the Giralda. When we entered the cathedral we set out to climb the Giralda, from there you can see the whole of Seville. It is almost 100 metres high. Our surprise was that instead of steps there were ramps. We were told that a rather lazy sultan had it built this way so that he could climb on horseback and not get tired.
We were very surprised. A work of modern art in the heart of Seville, with a great contrast to the surroundings. Although its name is Metropol Parasol, everyone knows it as ‘las Setas’ (the mushrooms) because of its original shape. Underneath you can also see a very interesting Roman archaeological site.
Fiesta in its purest form! Horse-drawn carriages, riders and flamenco costumes. More than 1000 stalls covered with colourful striped tarpaulins, where Sevillians gather to eat, drink and dance sevillanas and flamenco. At night the lights are switched on and thousands of lanterns illuminate everything.
A simply unique and spectacular square! What most caught our attention were the benches representing the peninsular provinces of Spain, except Seville, and the two archipelagos (Canary Islands and Balearic Islands), with their coat of arms and a map. Of course we took a photo as a souvenir on ours.
In our colouring map of Seville you will find a document, in Spanish and English, with a lot of curiosities that will surprise you. Here we tell you some of them!
Its name refers to the fact that when it was newly built it had a golden glow because straw was mixed in its construction, although legend has it that it is due to the golden hair of the prisoner of a king who was imprisoned there.
It is composed of the word NO, something similar to a skein of woollen yarn, and the word DO. It is interpreted as ‘no-madeja-do’, i.e. an acronym with a hieroglyphic to create ‘no me ha dejado’, in reference to the city's loyalty to the medieval monarch Alfonso X El Sabio in the war he waged against his son Sancho in the 13th century.
It contains all the documentation relating to the administration of Spain's overseas territories. With more than 80 million pages, if we were to put all the material in a row, it would take up no less than 9 kilometres!
