Some cities are remembered through an image: a square, a cathedral, a sunlit façade. Seville, however, also stays in your memory through what you hear. Through the bells that mark the hour in the centre, the sound of a guitar drifting from an open window, the flamenco clapping, or palmas, starting up at a family […]
