Capital Seville: To travel to this region and not visit the capital would almost be a sin. Located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, Seville is the soul of Andalusia and one of the historical treasures of Europe. The historic centre equals a labyrinth of narrow streets and lively squares, where flamenco culture and tapas merge to create a unique experience.

Carmona, one of the oldest cities in Europe, rises majestically from a fertile valley. The town's landmark is the tower from the 15th century, which will give you a warm welcome.

Estepa: The town is famous for its polvorones and mantecados, delicacies baked for Christmas celebrations. But this charming small town also has an interesting history that dates back to ancient times.

Constantina: Located in the Sierra Norte, this is a popular retreat for Sevillians who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the Moorish castle is in ruins, it dominates the landscape and tells a very old story.

Alanís: A beautiful village on the edge of the Sierra Norte Natural Park with a fortress of Moorish origin that has survived to the present day.

Villanueva del Río: Located on a hill overlooking the Guadalquivir River, the town has a fascinating history dating back to Roman times.

Osuna: Known for its baroque architecture and bullring, the city served as a backdrop in the television series "Game of Thrones".

Flamenco lovers can visit the most important villages of this art form, such as Mairena del Alcor, La Puebla de Cazalla and Arahal. History buffs and lovers of the past will find traces of Roman culture from the past in towns like Santiponce, Écija and Osuna.

• Festivities and local events: Festivities are one of the mainstays of tourism in this region. Particularly noteworthy are two great festivals full of heart: the April Fair and Easter Week, both classified as valuable for international tourism.

The charm of Sevillian gastronomy lies in the simplicity of the preparation of the dishes, the quality of the products and the aroma of the spices. Typical dishes are gazpacho, fried fish, eggs "a la flamenca", Andalusian stew and oxtail.

Most typical of Sevillian gastronomy, however, are the tapas, small dishes eaten between bar visits. These include shad roe (with mayonnaise or vinaigrette), pinchos morunos (grilled meat skewers), pavías de pescado (breaded cod pieces), snails and fantastic olives.

The desserts are heavily inspired by Muslim cuisine. These include torrijas de Semana Santa (Easter cakes), yemas de San Leandro, a sweet made with sugar and egg yolks, and polvorones, mantecados and alfajores, made in Estepa and eaten throughout the country at Christmas.
