All the legendary warmth and magic of Spain comes together in the spectacular city of Sevilla.  It’s one of the most historically interesting places in the world, and it’s contemporary identity is no less magnetic and fascinating.  There is that certain, impeccable style here that characterizes Spanish culture in general, and with some enormously splendid local twists.  It’s a sumptuous combination of tradition with absolutely modern sensibilities, putting it always at the forefront of culture.  The same combination can be found in the best Sevilla, Spain hotels,where the local is at the center, with a marvelous flair for the best of international sensibilities.

A spirit of luxury pervades in the accommodations, to allow you the opportunity to refresh your body, while the city takes care of energizing the spirit.  Lovely rests, with fantastic meals, are the best way to take a break from all the sight-seeing, and leaves you the space to allow for new ideas and thoughts about the city to form.  Sevilla is endlessly inspiring, and it continues to inspire artists today as much as it did during the golden age of Spain.  If you’re interested in seeing what’s happened here in the last and present century, be sure to give an afternoon over to exploring the magnificent Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo.

The center opened in 1990, with the intention of promoting and exhibiting new and exciting works from artists working in this region, as well as showing some of the 20th century masters from Andalusia, like Luis Gordillo and Pablo Palazuelo, and other international practitioners who have spent significant time in Spain, like Louise Bourgeois and Rebecca Horn.  It’s in a fantastic building that used to be a monastery, the Monastereo de la Cartuja de Santa Maria de las Cuevas de Sevilla, and the history goes back 8 centuries.  You can see all kinds of fantastic work here, from the plastic arts to video installation, and there’s a strong mission to build dialogue in the community, so it’s not the traditional museum sensibility.  It’s quite splendid.
