"Sevilla tiene un sabor especial" (Seville has a special flavour), so goes a traditional Spanish song that explains, as well as can be done in just a few words, the special feeling that greets all visitors who arrive in Seville.

Seville and Andalusia have long been a major attraction for teaching English. Now you can complete the Trinity Cert TESOL certificate course at our Seville centre 200 hundred metres from the Giralda Tower.

The fourth largest city in Spain, the capital of the famous Andalusian region, Seville combines the old and the new, the Moorish and the Christian in a spectacular manner. But beyond the wonderful architecture, the Alcazares, the churches, convents and monasteries, the Cathedral with its "Giralda" tower that still dominates the Sevillian skyline. Part of its treasure includes Casa de Pilatos, the Town Hall, Archive of the Indies (where the historical records of the American continent are kept), the Fine Arts Museum (the second largest picture gallery in Spain).

Seville is home to many spacious parks on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, most notably, the Maria Luisa park -that housed the 1929 Exposition, and where parts of the new Star Wars prequels have been filmed. These parks provide a sharp contrast with the city centre and its tiny streets, where cars seem more out of place than the horse-driven carriages that can still be seen throughout the centre. Seville is famous throughout Spain for its religious festivals, such as Easter Week and the Corpus Christi, when incredibly ornate baroque floats are borne through the streets of the city. A real treat for the senses, these festivals can be enjoyed in a truly authentic manner in some of the smaller more traditional neighbourhoods in Seville such as Triana. This is an area, until recently, the gypsy quarter of Seville, where some of the purer strains of flamenco can still be enjoyed.

The April Feria (Fair), which takes over Sevillian life just after Easter, is one of Spain's most popular festivals. During the festival, a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially mounted tents, People from all parts of the world can enjoy the daily bullfights, eating, drinking and dancing sevillanas till the early hours.
