A city that will never cease to surprise you

There are photogenic cities, there are postcard cities and there are movie cities. Seville has the ability to continually reinvent itself, and although the cinema has already immortalized many places in the city, there are still unique scenes that have not been discovered for the world. Discover them for yourself!

Sevilla, Seville.

Seville is cinematic

When walking through Seville, many people can get to experience fantastic sensations, almost unreal. Seeing the Plaza de España for the first time is like crossing the big screen (more than one traveler has thought), an impression that also continues in the Parque de María Luisa as you explore its unique corners, its traffic circles and fabled gardens.

Why not try putting yourself in the shoes of a film director?

Lights, camera, action!

Since the Lumière brothers recorded, in the early days of cinema, images of the Seville Holy Week, many filmmakers have been fascinated by the iconic power of the city. George Lucas, David Lean, Ridley Scott, Alejandro Amenábar, Luis Buñuel or Jim Jarmusch are some of these emblematic names of cinema. But there are even more travelers who discover every year special and unforgettable places that go around the world thanks to their cell phones.
