The city of flamenco and bullfighting, the beating heart of southern Spain's Andalusian culture. The narrow alleys of Santa Cruz, the flamenco bars of Triana, and the riverside promenade along the Guadalquivir convey the passion of Andalusia. Despite scorching summers, festivals, tapas, and flamenco performances captivate visitors — the best city to experience the true soul of Spain.
