Experience in Sevilla, Spain by Manuel

What is it like to live in Sevilla? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I think Sevilla is a wonderful city to live in. It's a city full of opportunities and there are lots of stuff to do. It's a big city, but it's nice to go on foot or cycling with "Sevici", which are bikes placed all over the city, available for everyone just for a period of time for a small fee.
