Travel back to the time when Seville was the \u201cport and gateway to the Indies\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose who haven\u2019t seen Seville haven\u2019t seen a marvel,\u201d they used to say in the 16th century.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why take this tour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because this period was precisely Seville\u2019s \u201cgolden age\u201d<\/strong>\u2014it was a cosmopolitan, modern city teeming with famous figures. The fact is, Seville cannot be understood without America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\u2019s a past that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.<\/strong> And above all, it\u2019s full of fake news. You\u2019ll uncover these historical myths and learn many more fascinating facts that seem straight out of adventure novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because it is right to rescue this period of the city\u2019s history from oblivion<\/strong>. Although Seville is full of monuments, it has chosen to highlight only a small fraction of them, forgetting that this was always a port city dedicated to navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
