Seville is primarily famous for its bullfights which are held in the Plaza de Toros. Work started on building this arena in 1760. The Spanish sense of drama and colour finds expression in what some people call "art", while others consider it nothing more than a barbaric spectacle. The traditional bullfight is the setting in which three matadors slay six bulls. The point of the bullfighters' exercise is to wear the bull out by means of the red cape (muleta), then deliver the death-blow, plunging the sword down between the shoulders, right into the heart. There are 6000 people portrayed in the arena, each one hand-painted in their own.
Game of Thrones fan? HBO has confirmed part of series five is being filmed around Andalucia's Seville, thanks to the area's Moorish fortresses and lush gardens.
