Seville - A monumental city
(Source: Web server of the Spanish Tourism Institute, TURESPAÑA, "www.spain.info")
Seville is a city that leaves its mark, and many people define it as special. It might be because of the grandeur of its monuments. Or perhaps the charm of areas such as Triana.
It may possibly be the scent of jasmine in its squares or the Spanish guitar music of its streets. Some say that it’s the tradition of its festivals, and many are convinced its tapas are the real reason.
You can see it for yourself in the few metres that separate the La Giralda tower, the Cathedral and the Real Alcázar of Seville. La Giralda is a city icon and one of its main charms lies in its viewpoint. The views of Seville are fantastic with its courtyards of orange trees, typical in Andalusia, and a close-up of the largest Gothic temple in Europe, the Catedral de Santa María de la Sede. A visit to the Real Alcázar reveals an extraordinary palace full of details.
Seville is much more than its undeniable monumentality. It is a city of lively streets and large open spaces such as the huge Plaza de España, María Luisa Park, and the avant-garde Setas de Sevilla. And if you want to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Seville, try going for tapas in the old town, in popular areas such as Alameda, Macarena, Nervión, Los Remedios or Triana. Marinated ‘pescaíto’ (fish), small filled rolls, typical snails, fino (white wine), manzanilla (sweet wine) or a cold beer are a must on any tapas outing.

Andalusia - A key region in the Aerospace sector

With the designation of Seville as the headquarters of the Spanish Space Agency, it is expected that the space sector will take off in the region. The Andalusian sector, very strong in the aeronautical segment, is committed to strengthening the space segment by taking advantage of synergies with existing technological capabilities. The most important initiative promoted by the cluster is the implementation of the Andalusat project, a satellite system that will be developed using technological capabilities of Andalusian companies.
Andalusia, along with Toulouse (France) and Hamburg (Germany), is one of the most important aerospace hubs in Europe, and the only one in Spain, to have a final assembly line (FAL) for large aircrafts, such as the one in Seville for the A400M and CC295.
