Seville is great city. It's cosy, has great architecture and very distinctive areas like Santa Cruz, Triana an Alfalfa. People start their day late, enjoy a wine after work and eat late. It has everything to make your visit worth it.

Although Seville is Europe's warmest city, you shouldn't be here in summer, we had plenty of rain during our first two days. It made us find the bars with the best tapas and cava, but I hoped to have better conditions. Luckily the afternoons were beautiful and made up for all the drops we caught walking through the city. Here, we're on top of the Metropol Parasol, the largest wooden structure in the world. Seville lights up their churches so nicely that from this point the Giralda, the Metropol Parasol and the sunset made up a fine composition in my opinion.

Shot 2: Off the beaten track

On our last day we had a couple of ours left before heading to the train station to visit Malaga. We decided to stay close to the taxis but to visit an area we hadn't visited before. There, behind a small alley we found this gem. A garden / piazza with a fountain. The illustrations on the building were amazing and the half round building really made you feel all alone. And indeed, it was quiet, although being in the city center. As you see, locals visit this place as well to, I guess, escape the hectic city center.

I hoped Seville would be sun and blue sky. Too bad it wasn't, but when you don't have infinity time, you work with what the weather gods give you. Although the clouds and the rain put a dent in my mood, I still found great architecture on the streets. This is not a 'middle' of the road photo, but it really is a good example of the more quiet streets of Seville.

Shot 4: Signs of life

Seville is a city that starts off late. This means that getting up early will leave you with plenty of alleys to photograph, but it leaves you with a strange feeling because the people are part of the city and that energy is something you can feel and capture. So rather than wandering around in the morning, I went out in the afternoon in Santa Cruz. This part of Seville is like a maze. There are so many small alleys, piazzas and shops and getting lost is not a bad thing. While I was crouching to shoot a reflection a local drove by on its bike. I only saw him through my lens but I knew this was a cool moment. Seville being the third best city in the world to cycle, I hadn't see many cyclists, so capturing this moment felt like a great fit with the soul of the city.

Sometimes the best things are saved for last. During our walk to the taxi that would bring us to the train station we had great weather and we passed the popular Torre del Oro, tower of gold, along the river Guadalquivir. From the photo it's no secret why it's called like this. The early sun lights up the tower and gives it a touch of gold. The busy street, palm trees and blue sky make this a cool composition in my opinion, from a point of view many people skip
