Metroji clue #99

Seville in five emoji

Spain

Andalusia's capital, and the hottest major city in Europe in summer. It had a monopoly on trade with the Americas for two centuries.

What each emoji refers to

Flamenco came out of Andalusia and the city still argues about who does it properly.
Summer temperatures regularly pass 40Β°C, and the city plans around it.
The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in the world and holds Columbus's tomb.
The bitter oranges lining the streets are inedible raw and mostly become British marmalade.
The flamenco guitar is played with the fingers rather than a pick.
