Change Your Climate, Change Our World Video Contest - from the Department of State’s second annual ExchangesConnect Video Contest
Sevillanos love tradition. Most are dedicated to keeping their beloved city as it always has been.

In one of those amazing contradictions that I continually discover here, it is in the celebration of two very traditional holidays that this change is most apparent: Christmas and Three Kings’ Day.
