Sevilla has the most intense southern flavor of the European cities. A gateway to the American in the times past, the city's port was once the main center of the overseas trading. Today, whilst still retaining its historical background, the city has become a large metropolitan area where the traditional co-exits with modernity. With a population of over 700,000 and the capital of the Andalusian region, Sevilla of today is an extremely vibrant city with mountains of old traditions, but it's also clearly invested in the future. Its rich historical legacy, together with a temperate climate and its welcoming and friendly character, make Sevilla one of the most sought after attractions in Spain. Situated to the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, the province of Sevilla, with a population of approximately three million people, is located in the middle of the Andalusian Autonomous Region. It is the largest of the region's provinces and the city's regional capital. Although Sevilla has a Mediterranean climate, the province is also affected by the cooler Atlantic influence of the Sierras and by the somewhat hotter conditions of the Guadalquivir River Valley. Throughout most of the year, Sevilla enjoys an essentially mild climate with warm temperatures. Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons for visiting. As rainfall is low, the pleasant weather and sunny conditions are one of the province's main tourist attractions. www.spanishforsuccess.com
