During my time in Sevilla, I repeatedly saw this symbol throughout the city. On the flags, the buildings, and even sidewalks, it was located throughout the city. "NO8DO" is the motto of Sevilla, and a bit of a legend for the city. The symbol stands for "No me ha dejado" or "It has not abandoned me." It comes from a legend, when King Alfonso X was king, his son, Sancho IV, tried to lead a revolt to take the throne from his father. The people of Sevilla remained loyal to King Alfonso, and he rewarded them with the motto, "No me ha dejado." This is a very important symbol for the people of Sevilla and is seen and respected throughout the town.
