Children will also enjoy the historic attractions such as the Santa Cruz Jewish quarter, with its the Gothic Cathedral - also the final resting place of Columbus, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The children will thoroughly enjoy the climb up the magnificent Giralda Tower, which offers spectacular views of the entire city, or the Torre del Oro and imagine that the treasures are being brought in from the Indies. They will also have fun taking a horse drawn carriage around the sites of Seville, or a cruise down the Guadalquivir River. Seville is known for its 'Tapas' and flamenco dance, and there is no better place in Spain to experience this.
