5 QUOTES WITH «SEVILLE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Seville.
1
Katharine Lee Bates
A typical Seville shop reaches far along the street front, with many open doors, and a counter running the full length. Here ladies sit in pairs and groups, never singly, to cheapen fans and mantillas, while the smiling salesmen, cigarette in hand, shrug and gesticulate and give back banter for banter as gayly as if it were all a holiday frolic.
2
Christopher Columbus
The air soft as that of Seville in April, and so fragrant that it was delicious to breathe it.
3
Hernan Cortes
The city is as large as Seville or Cordova; its streets, I speak of the principal ones, are very wide and straight; some of these, and all the inferior ones, are half land and half water, and are navigated by canoes.
4
Hernan Cortes
There are fully forty towers, which are lofty and well built, the largest of which has fifty steps leading to its main body, and is higher than the tower of the principal tower of the church at Seville.
5
Paz Vega
People in Seville are very happy, the lifestyle here is very relaxed, you can walk everywhere; it's very easy.
