Sightseeing in Seville with Jeanie and Monroe
... quick drive over to Seville (4 ½ hours) by way of the toll road in Portugal and then a very nice road in Spain. They had driven outside of Seville that day to see some Roman Ruins and so we ended up meeting at the hotel around 4 p.m. Our ...

Spain v. England

Travel day to Seville, Spain
... a cab ride to the small hotel I'm staying with. As the taxi drove me through Seville I quickly noticed that Seville is a lot smaller, and more village-y (?) feeling without all the big high rises. It's also a lot more rustic and more what I ...
