Built on the edge of the Maria Luisa Park in the 1920s in a huge semi circle with bridges, moats and fountains this is definitely the number one spot to visit whilst in Seville.

This majestic Cathedral dates back to the 15th century and claims to be the third largest building of its kind in the world.
Reviewed By WineEng - Green Valley, United States
This is THE site to visit when in Sevilla. Absolutely enormous, the largest gothic cathedral in the world consists of the main cathedral, many chapels, a small treasury and many memorials plus the converted bell tower. When busy, it’s much better to have purchased tickets in advance or be prepared to wait in long lines to hope to buy a ticket. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to visit everything while stopping to enjoy the varied architecture. A Columbus is buried here so some come to see that. The organ has four banks with over 7000 pipes and can be heard at specific times during the week. Fantastic piece of history. Cheers!

A must visit if you're in Seville! (Side note: also where they filmed Dorne in Game of Thrones, which is a huge thing!) See the stunning architecture from Muslim to Christian influences and spend an hour just reflecting in one of the most gorgeous botanical gardens I've ever seen.

The museum has the wellknown as the Sixtine Chapell of the Romanesque Art because of the 11th century romanesque frescoes, and the mythical chalice related by a recent research with the Holy Grail .
Reviewed By SunshinefromUSA - Wisconsin, United States
We took at chance on an English tour of this museum and were completely impressed! Besides the Holy Grail claims, their guide was fantastic and did a great job leading us through the history of carvings, paintings and their collections relics. They have been able to save many items from surrounding religious houses that no longer exist, so overlook the hype and enjoy your tour.

Always one of my favorite hang out spots to chill in Gijon, Asturias (from 2012 to 2016), whenever I want to escape my city life from nearby Oviedo, especially when the Sun is up! I had some good memories in this beach, with some special people in my life. You won't go wrong, going to a nice, wide, and, "friendly" beach, if you just wanna relax, for free.
