Bellavista, Seville

Bellavista is a community on lands that once belonged to the town of Dos Hermanas, but were sold to the city of Seville. Bellavista, which means Beautiful View in Spanish, is thus the southernmost neighborhood in Seville, and quite separated from the rest of the city.

Bellavista was once called Barrio de la Salud, before belonging to Seville proper. It has between 15,000 and 20,000 inhabitants, thus making it a sizeable neighborhood by population. Although there are many housing complexes dating from recent years and decades, they are built around a historical core.

The neighborhood is almost entirely a commuter community, and it was just in the Spring of 2007 that Seville's TUSSAM municipal bus routes incorporated stops in Bellavista into the city's bus routes.
