The capital of Andalusia is the symbol of classic Spain.
Seville is the most Spanish city out of all Spanish cities. Here lie the remains of Cristopher Columbus, it was this amazing place where all the stolen Incan gold was unloaded, here Murillo painted the too joyful faces of saints, and here also lived the imagination of writers like Don Juan. Corridors have a long tradition in the Andalusian capital and this is the only place in Spain where every Spanish person celebrates Fiesta with lot of color and vibrancy.
The big show takes place in Semana Santa when 57 catholic priests each one of them wear gigantic saint objects, with holy scenes from the church they belong to the cathedral and back. The marching is practiced barefooted( with chains at feet and wearing crosses) with drummers, and the people are also disguised as Inquisitors.
