Received from the hands of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Diaz AyusoSanz has praised that Seville is “one of the most important cities” in Spain. “Seville is a tourist power, it is the third most visited city in Spain, it is the most visited historical complex in Spain and it is the cultural capital, it is a world heritage site and it has the second art gallery in Spain in a building where you can see a Murillo, a Velázquez, a Zurbarán, a Goya,” he listed.
But his words towards the one chosen as City of the Year have not stopped there, the first mayor has also praised that be “capital of letters” thus being the land of “Bécquer, the Alda, the Machado of Vicente Aleixandre” or the land that “inspired Cervantes and that saw Góngora and Quevedo.” He also highlighted that Seville is a highlight for sport and also for flamenco. “Seville is also the capital that crosses that paradise that is the Guadalquivir River,” has added.
With a journey into history, Sanz has recalled the city’s past, highlighting that for many years it was “the gateway to America” where great cultures were and continue to be combined. Likewise, he highlighted that the city is the technological capital of Andalusia and the aerospace capital of southern Spain. “These are data,” has asserted.”
“Surely there will be those who think that I am a little exaggerated because of these characteristics that I just mentioned but no, simply “I want to recommend to those who have not yet visited Seville to visit it as soon as possible.”the mayor remarked, highlighting that the city is “the best city in the world to visit, live, work and undertake.”
With José Luis Sanz Ruiz as current mayor, it is worth noting that the Andalusian city has recovered cultural forums such as the Auditorium de la Cartuja and that in the coming years the surroundings of the Plaza de España will be the center of the events that celebrate the cultural capital of the city. Furthermore, the Flamenco Biennial continues to be the mirror in which all the flamenco festivals in the world are seen. “From Bami to Triana, from Cerro to Pino Montano or from Macarena to Nervión, Seville’s neighborhoods are in the shadow of the Giralda,” said the city’s mayor in his investiture speech.
