Flamenco and the bullring, at concentrations unmatched anywhere in the dataset. Seville's two most distinctive professions are matador and torero at more than 140 times the global rate, joined by dancers, explorers, poets, sculptors, and painters — the statistical shadow of Velázquez, Murillo, Machado, and a bullfighting tradition that runs from Joselito and Belmonte through Curro Romero to the present. The Casa de Contratación sent Columbus and Magellan down the Guadalquivir, and the 16th- and 17th-century bench is one of the heaviest in Spain.
