The Best of Spain - Sevilla

According to legend, Sevilla was founded by Hercules, and was called Hispalis under the Romans, and Isbiliya with the Moors. One of the largest historical centers in Europe, Sevilla has the minaret of La Giralda, the Cathedral (one of the largest in Christendom), and the Alcázar Palace. Part of its treasure include Torre del Oro, the Town Hall, Archive of the Indies (where the historical records of the Philippines and Spanish colonies in the American continent are kept), the Fine Arts Museum (the second largest picture gallery in Spain) , Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza (a famous bullring), and Plaza de España, the site of an international exhibition (1929). The administrative capital of Andalucía, Sevilla is the largest town in Southern Spain, the city of Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro, and the birthplace of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian.

A bit stupid to have Beethoven music as accompaniment. Wouldn't be Turina, Rordrigo or some other Spanish composer be more appropriate?

Sorry about the background music. I initially used Andres Segovia but I had problem importing it in my Windows Movie Maker, and I was hesitant to download other MP3 music for fear of copyright restriction.

@emeritamanansala A mí me encanta Beethoven y sí me parece un buen acompañamiento para mostrar Sevilla. También es cierto que Sevilla es la ciudad del mundo a la que más óperas se han dedicado (más de 100) y hay donde escoger: Fidelio, de Beethoven asimismo, Las Bodas de Fígaro y Don Giovanni, de Mozart, Il barbiere di Siviglia, de Rossini, Alfonso und Estrella, de Schubert, La favorita y María Padilla, de Donizetti, Il trovatore y La forza del destino, de Verdi o Carmen, de Bizet... : )
