If there ever was a city on Earth who's beauty is worth 111 gigapixels, then surely it is Seville.

If you ever get the opportunity, GO THERE.

I saw the white bridge on the far left of the picture and had to look it up, as it seemed very similar to a bridge I'd seen in Buenos Aires:

Sure enough, it was the same architect (Santiago Calatrava):

BA's another amazing city; I would love to see it get the same 111-gigapixel treatment.

Quien no ha visto Sevilla - no ha visto Maravilla! but Quien no ha visto Granada - no ha visto nada!

I'd love to go to Granada. Hopefully next time. :-)

"but Quien"

as a British guy living in Spain I can relate to this spanglish :)

I've never lived in Spain, I visited Seville last year on holiday

A great city, a good place to take pictures, and 9750 images to share to the world. The about section has a lot of great info about this project. I hope they do some travel and bring us other locations like this.

Well, quite seriously, if it was so, then why I see just some very large photo of a very dull and ugly regional town somewhere?

The image seriously doesn't do the city justice.

I spent 10 years of my life travelling the world, and Seville really is a jewel. Big time.

My holiday snaps (are rubbish but) better portray the energy at ground level:

Edit: for some reason dropbox id 404ing those links. Check google images for Sevilla instead.

This must have been poor placement of the camera rig because I've heard good things about this place and these photos don't measure up.
