One of the first
people to fall in love with Seville was the
poet-king Al-Mutamid, and the city's ability to
dazzle has not abated since. It takes a stony heart
not to be captivated by its exuberant atmosphere -
stylish, confident, ancient, proud, yet also
convivial, intimate and fun-loving. If you don't
know what alegría means, Seville is a fine
place to learn.
