"Seville isn't just Seville. It isn't just the Giralda with its Giraldillo, or the resounding fountains built with art and perfection by Seville's craftsmen, the ancestors of my parents and my parents' parents. Seville isn't just the glistening rain in its alleyways or the dazzling sun blazing against its white walls; nor its royal gardens; nor moonlight shining upon the Oriental-style domes, nor the slippery wax on the sidewalks following the religious processions; nor the waterways, paths through olive groves and the sweltering land which has attracted poets, painters and musicians. Seville is much more. It is so much more. It's everything the earth needs to touch the sky. Seville is a mystery."
