Location

In the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, the province of Seville, whose capital is also the capital of the Andalusian region, is one of the largest provinces in Spain. The province is noted for its varied orography, which is full of possibilities and distinguishable landscapes, spanning from the tree-spotted plains to vast fields of cereal crops and olive trees, and the rice-fields of the the Guadalquivir marshes. Close to the Atlantic Ocean, the province is divided by the river Guadalquivir, which is surrounded by an expanse of meadows and open countryside. Protected by mountain ranges to the north and the south, the mighty river mouth opens into an unusual and fascinating marsh landscape as it sinews to its end giving way to the Donana National Park.

The climate, in its Mediterranean setting, is characterised by mild winters and hot, dry summers, with an annual mean temperature of around 18 to 20oC. Thanks to a modest rain count, the province of Seville offers the visitor more than 2,875 hours of sunlight per year.

Districts

The province of Seville is marked by its orography and history, and can be considered as a combination of socio-cultural features and differentiated geographical spaces. Divided into six administrative divisions, this variety becomes apparent through its archaelogical remains, its unique landscapes, its artistic monuments, as well as its traditional gastronomy and celebrations.

Sierra Norte
Among the Mediterranean forests in the foothills of Sierra Morena, ten villages make up a typical landscape of white-washed houses, in a setting which is protected and declared a National Park.

Vía de la Plata
This corridor, created by nature, has allowed communication between the north and south of the Iberian Peninsula since ancient times; it has been the access route of people and cultures, leaving their imprint as they came and went.

Guadalquivir-Donana
From the fertile river-banks of the Guadalquivir to the marshes of Donana, 25 towns stretch along the river which provides a way of life and prosperity.

El Aljarafe
A fertile elevation of land, and the natural expansion of the capital towards the Atlantic and the New World. A landscape of vineyards, haciendas, mills and olive groves surrounds 24 towns.

La Campina
Stately villas and monuments, of great tradition and ancestry, spot the Sevillian landscape, amid fertile cereal fields and olive groves.

Sierra Sur
A wonderful place to be discovered, found in the foothills of the southern Subbetic mountain range. A hospitable place where Andalusian songs are sung, a land of Moors, bandits and white-washed villages.
