Sevilla

Seville is the capital of Andalusia and one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, serving as the starting point of the Via de la Plata, the longest of all Camino de Santiago routes. The city's UNESCO-listed cathedral is the largest Gothic church in the world, and the Giralda tower, originally a Moorish minaret, offers panoramic views over the city.

The Real Alcazar palace, with its stunning Mudejar architecture and gardens, and the sweeping Plaza de Espana are essential visits. The old town's narrow streets, flamenco bars, tapas restaurants, and orange tree-lined plazas create an unforgettable atmosphere.

Pilgrims will find every service imaginable. The Via de la Plata follows the route of an ancient Roman road (the Silver Way) that connected the south of Spain with the northwest. The route is significantly less walked than the Frances, offering a quieter, more solitary pilgrimage experience.
