The Spanish capital is a young city, not least because it only acquired its status five centuries ago. It has become a very cosmopolitan and contemporary city, whose main attractions are not so much its great historical monuments \u2013 although it has several \u2013 but rather its wonderful museums. Embrace the charm of this vibrant city, which is both as Spanish as can be and thoroughly European in its lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Many activities are available: climbing, mountaineering, walks, and jeep tours can be organised for lovers of nature. You can also take a picnic in one of the two picnic parks.

Formerly called Lacobriga by the Romans, Lagos is located on a slope that descends gently to the mouth of the River Bensafrim. It was ruled by the Moors from the 8<\/span>^{th<\/sup> century until the town was conquered by the Christians in 1250. In 1505, Dom Manuel I granted Lagos the \u201c<\/span>foral<\/em>\u201d (charter) giving it municipal autonomy. This important document is nowadays displayed in the local museum. Lagos was a very important port during the time of the Portuguese maritime expansion.\u00a0<\/span>It was from this port that Dom Sebasti\u00e3o left for the ill-fated battle of Alcacer Kibir, which would result in the loss of Portuguese independence for a period of 60 years. The town was devastated by the earthquake of 1755 and many of its buildings therefore date from after this period.\u00a0<\/span>Today, the town manages to maintain a balance between local urban life and the pressures of mass tourism.

Spain’s fourth largest city and Andalusia’s most important port. Legend has it that it was founded by Hercules, but history states that it was Christopher Columbus who took it to to the heights, by discovering America. Seville today has many monuments and a vast heritage, and is known for its soul and has a lively, joyous city that inspires sensations and passions. Seville has witnessed the passage of various peoples, with a Cathedral that is the world’s largest Gothic edifice, a symbol of Christianity; La Giralda \u2013 originally the minaret of a mosque \u2013 and the Reales Alc\u00e1zares de Sevilla, both built under the Moors; and the Archivo General de Indias, where historical records on the Americas are kept. All these monuments are classed by UNESCO as World Heritage sites.<\/span><\/p>\n
