About Old Seville: The City Of Eternal Youth
Florence has its glorious architecture, Egypt its ancient foundations, Rio de Janeiro its carnival, New Orleans its music, Pamplona its festivities, Istanbul is a bi-continental crossroads and Rome and London were once centres of world Empire. All of this is captured in Spain in just one city: Seville. What other city can lay such a claim? But how much do we know of Seville compared to the others? It is time to redress the balance and discover a city loved by all that have visited her. There are few cultures that kick up their heels like Spain and there is certainly no Spanish city more alegre than Seville. It made a lasting impression on the likes of Byron, Borrow, Brenan and all of the great Hispanophiles. When one imagines the temperamental fantasy of Spain one is thinking exclusively of Seville and her legacy. Its glorious past is mirrored by its vibrant present and infectious atmosphere. London, New York and Paris may be on cigarette packets and shopping bags but Seville is found in writers’ eulogies and engrained in the visitors’ imagination. Seville is the fame and fable of all things Spanish. Hence, if you don’t know Seville you will never fathom Spain. While Sevilla has been largely forgotten since it discovered the New World its citizens still believe their world spins at the centre of the old universe. It’s just waiting for you to rediscover it and see they are right. Old Seville - the City of Eternal Youth is the author's love letter to what is quite simply the most vibrant and flambouyant city on the Old Continent. If you have fallen for Spanish culture and her extravagant mores and wish to delve deeper into her many-layered culture then the Hispanophile Series will immerse you in her history, literature, fame and fable like never before. Read Old Seville - the City of Eternal Youth and transport yourself today to the sunny climes of the south, where you will discover a city the like of which can only exist here in Andalusia.
