The day opens on a narrow Andalusian road as the vehicle slips away from Seville toward low olive groves and the flattened plains of the Guadalquivir. Arriving at Itálica, the amphitheatre looms not as a romantic relic but as a lived space — tiers of stone that once held 25,000 people, mosaics still glimpsing through time, streets that chart the grid of a Roman colony.
