Seville, Spain Cruises

Seville, Spain Cruise Port

Perhaps one of Spain’s most iconic images is that of the Flamenco dancer. Her dark hair tightly pulled back, one arm thrown up in the air while the other holds the tip of her long red dress that seems to weigh 50 lbs from all the fabric used to make its flowing ruffles. Flamenco is a folk dance most popular in Andalusia, of which Seville is the capital. Along with this passionate dance, Seville is a great cruise destination to find out about Spain’s intriguing history as a city under the control of the Moors (Muslims from North Africa) and the Castilians.
