Seville Economy[edit]

After the devastating housing market crash in 2008, the real GDP had decreased 9% by 2013.[1] The unemployment rate more than doubled from 2007 to 2011 after the real-estate burst. it was at 21.3%, the highest of the 17 Eurozone countries. It was as high as 35% for the working class aged 16-29, all in result of low economic growth.[2] Southern Span as a sub-macro region has consistently experienced higher rates of unemployment.[3] Some differences included family size, populations' skillsets, and average years of schooling. Economic factors that have improved over time include budget deficit which was 11% in 2009 down to 3.1% in 2017.[4] Raised taxes and lowered wages resulted in protests during summer of 2011, these resulting in government spending cuts, freezing pensions, raising retirement age and providing easier lay-off policies for companies as better ways to manage the debt crises.[2] The per capita GDP of the national mean was 74.2% convergence with the national average, meaning Seville stays approximately under 25% of notational average GDP of Spain. In 2014, the unemployment rate 32.4%, while the national average was 24.5%.[4]

Seville's growing economy was deemed stable enough to hold one of seven research institutes of the JRC (Joint Research Centre), which falls under the Directorate-General of the EC (European Commission). Sevilles' institute, the IPTS (Institute for Prospective Technological Studies), conducts research to understand technologically, societally, and economically dependent relationships that support European Union policy making, to better promote economic growth.[5] Modern Seville can be classified as a ‘smart economy’: a highly functional, profitable, and adaptable system focused on technology development.[6] The future plans include a city cooperative for the longevity and sustainability with a wide array of goals in the 'Seville Strategic Plan 2020' as the city faces more public outcry for lack of social issue actions in times of economic growth.[5]

Tourism[edit]

Seville has resourced its vast cultural monuments and activities of the urban heritage into a tourist product, promoting economic development and growth.[6]  Like other Spanish cities, Seville faces local controversy over conservatives who see tourism as exploiting culture vs. those who unsustainably solicit to tourists for pure economic or personal benefit. The tourism revenue has led to social exclusion in working-class neighborhoods because they did not receive any attention or benefit in the city's urban renewal cooperatives.[4] However, promotion of tourism benefits the economy because of the increased spending. Current important segments of tourism experiencing growth include conference and cruise tourism. In 2003, tourism accounted for 11% of the city's economy and in 2013 Seville had over 3.7 million overnight visits, holding 3rd place in tourist destinations behind Barcelona and the Spanish capital, Madrid.[4]

Bullfighting[edit]

While bullfighting has its profitable effects in the Spanish market economy, the bull itself has been declared part of Spain's national heritage, specifically, the Osborne Bull. It is the breed of bull that has been silhouetted into the nationalistic symbol for all Spaniards alike [9]. These signs were erected by beverage company, Osborne Sherry, for brandy promotion. When these signs were deemed illegal because of alcohol advertisements on roads, the public blacked out the signs and are now considered "culturally significant". With bullfighting is rapidly outlawed in Spanish cities on controversial ethical terms, Grenada still profits from tourism for this event in the city's third bullring: La Monumental de Frasceulo, founded September, 1928.[10] It was erected within one year and remains one of Spain's top ten prestigious bullrings (2 of which reside in Andalucia) with a capacity of 14,500 viewers[10]. Grenada's two previous bullrings were Maestranza and Plaza del Truinfo. While modern sports in Spain such as soccer have gained popularity, bullfighting still holds the most support with over 70 bullrings, despite controversy.[11]
