Catalonia Giralda Seville

... of a small group of drummers and guitarists. Her songs were haunting, vaguely familiar, and still unlike anything I had ever heard. The bar was so packed, it was impossible to reach the bar. People crammed into the open doorway. If this was Canada, the fire chief would have closed the bar. The show came to a close, the crowd erupted into rowdy applause, and I pushed my way through the crowd to the fresh air outside. <br><br>Its been a long day, and I'm ready for bed.<br><br> <br>

... themselves, so obviously I had some peach yogurt. But the abundance of peaches does not mean there are not a lot of other flavors...so far, I have had flavors such as natural, lemon, peach, strawberry, "Macedonia" (which appears to be a mix of banana, peach, strawberry and orange), caramel, and, most interestingly, cookie. Yes, cookie flavored yogurt, and it's delicious. <br><br>We left the hotel and went to the Flamenco Museum, where we heard a short talk about the history of ...

... the world must live together. He said this in the context of Seville where the three religions of the book ¨Christian, Jewish and Muslim, all peacefully coexist "well they do now at least" the cynic in me says. Ask me at home to recount the joke about the bull's bits after the bullfight. As usual we toured by bus around the city admiring the many exhibition buildings from the 1929 Exhibition of the Americas. A long time ago I guess but what a ...

... road and we passed an ominously large industrial estate and then entered the small town of Utrera. Now the hotel hunt began again and after several minutes I spotted some shops and then a bar and stopped. In the bar I asked for a hotel and two guys, who were drinking there, came outside and started giving me directions. Except that there were roadworks in the town and local knowledge was needed to get round them, so they walked me round the roadworks to the ...

Without a doubt Seville is my favorite spanish city with everything being so agreeable -- sunny weather, the landscape, friendly people, flemenco, and many shops for cute and inexpensive souvenirs. I spent half a day exploring the palaces and gardens in the Alcazar, there were so many things to buy in the shops in Santa Cruz and Casa de la Memoria has a nice little stage at a courtyard for the flemenco show, I found this place ...

... me. She made it known to us that she was a very open person and wanted us to have an honest and close relationship. The first thing I learned about Emma is that she LOVES TO TALK! Emma could talk for hours on end. Our lunches last for about 2.5 hours almost every day, just eating and talking. Even though I don't understand everything she has to say, she has so much to offer. After translating and ...

... her house when we came to the city. The house has a live in house keeper, a live in cook, a salon, a terrace and a location right in the heart of Sevilla. It is like something right out of a movie! So, here I am now, at the internet cafe in Sevilla with my sister, updating you all on my adventures in Spain. I hope the rest of the trip is as exciting as the last two days have been. From the looks of the city...it absolutely will be. More to come soon... love always, Alexandra

... in a month, we went and had a bottle of red. It went down well, with a beer chaser. In the morning, nothing had changed. It was still ******* down. Actually, the temp was quite mild, so we hauled ass over to the Alcazar. We paid and entered. It wasn't like the Alhambra at all. There was an old painting showing Colombus which was ok. There was also one section which was very Islamic, but overall, it was no way as good as the Alhambra. Outside ...

... get something to eat but naturally the food is all kind of strange to us and we don´t really know how to order. But then we find our lifesafer, McDonalds, hahahaha! Whatever reminds you of home, ya know! So then we finally board our flight to Sevilla and get into the airport there at about 9:30. So we´re so relieved to be there even though we know we already missed the first night of orientation at the hotel for our program. And also, now we have to take a cab to ...

... the Cathedral I crossed the square to take in the Alcazar; an ancient Moorish palace, and it's stunning surrounding gardens. Its really no use trying to explain the place here. Just take a look at the photos and you'll see why I spent nearly 3 hours cruising the grounds. These were the loveliest gardens I've seen in Europe. After this I went for a little bite at a place nearby; fried pieces of swordfish and a beer. It was a surprisingly good and nice light lunch. Followed by a ...
