| Seville (Sevilla) | |||
 |
Seville's long and varied history dates back to the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors, but its golden age is the 16th century, when the city was the gateway to the New World. Situated on the Guadalquivir River, Seville was the port from which ships departed on voyages of exploration and returned from the Americas loaded with gold and silver. When you visit Seville, kids can stand at the top of the Torre del Oro and imagine the treasure galleons arriving from the Indies. |

The Sevillanos have a sweet tooth, and the cafes are always filled with people munching on the local confections. Two places to try the chocolates and pastries are La Campana or Horno Bonventure. In the window at La Campana, the Giralda tower is rendered in sugar. |

On a hot day, the local ice cream tastes delicious! We found the shop Helados Rayas had the biggest selection, with chocolate in many different flavors, vanilla, creme de Sevilla, caramel, lemon and fruit flavors. Helados Rayas is in two locations: closest to the city center is the one at Calle San Pablo, at the corner of Calle Zaragoza. The shop at Calle Almirante Apodaca 1 is right across from a small park with playground (great place to sit down under the trees and eat your ice cream). |
