Seville, in the heart of Andalusia in southern Spain, has long been an alluring travel destination, celebrated for its fascinating blend of rich history, multifaceted culture, stunning architecture, delectable cuisines, vibrant atmosphere, and varied geographic charms. Participants at this fourth ICSDS will have the opportunity to appreciate Andalusian cuisine and a flamenco performance at the ICSDS conference banquet, and to explore several spectacular historical landmarks with the conference tours, including the Real Alcázar palace, Seville cathedral with its iconic Giralda bell tower, and the Real Fábrica de Tabacos (Royal Tobacco Factory, which served as the setting of the opera Carmen).
