Seville Province

Seville Province is an administrative district in Andalusia, Spain, that stretches along the Guadalquivir valley and includes 105 municipalities. The area lies between two mountain ranges and connects rural villages with towns where farming, crafts and commerce shape everyday life.

In the 16th century this region became the hub of Spanish overseas trade when the Casa de Contratación was set up here in 1503. This institution managed all voyages to the New World and brought wealth to many settlements along the river.

Flamenco traditions shape social life in many towns, where residents regularly support clubs for singing, guitar and dance. These groups meet often in local clubhouses and keep alive centuries-old rhythms that visitors can experience during informal evening gatherings.

Two main highways, the A-4 and A-92, cross the area and provide access to the larger towns. Buses run regularly between smaller communities and the provincial capital, making day trips to surrounding locations easy.

Olive groves cover much of the Aljarafe region and supply nearly a third of Spanish table olives. Many farms offer tours through the groves where visitors can see the harvest and pressing up close.
