If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Seville, You Will After You Watch This

Sevilla’s Metropol Parasol has never looked like this before, and that’s because it’s transitioning.  If you just spat your coffee out, perhaps you have misinterpreted.  The city’s third most visited urban landmark has been filmed by Hyperlapse Professional Kirill Neiezhmakov, whose mission is to capture as many of the world’s famous landmarks on film as possible – and then do extraordinary things with it.  In his hyperlapses, his aim is to create seamless morphing transitions between locations (hence the parasol reference!).  This makes a beautiful and already very interesting city seem even more dreamlike, as streets, skylines and structures appear to bend and flow into one another with impossible smoothness. The result is a hypnotic visual journey through Seville.

Sevilla was never been top of my “go to” cities in Spain – apologies.  Yet, having seen this it has certainly gone up a few places on the list. Through Neiezhmakov’s lens, Seville looks vibrant, futuristically historic and full of energy, proving that sometimes a fresh perspective can completely transform the way we see a city.  This is just gorgeous.  Sevilla’s city council should put this on their website!
