Dali Seville

... agreed. They certainly got themselves a big church. Sevilleīs cathedral is one of the largest in the world. It was completed by 1507 and was originally all Gothic, though work done after its central dome collapsed in 1511 was mostly in Renaissance style.

ALCAZAR

The Alcazar began life as a fort for the Cordoban governors of Seville in 913, and has been adapted and/or enlarged in almost every century since. The Sala de Audiencias ...

... streets, one person started from one end and the other started from the other end, and when the met, they realized that, "ay dios mio, we're off by six feet. Oh well, no worries, we'll just lay a little diagonal path, no difference". We started cracking up because it was just so silly looking, attracting more strange stares from Spaniards. Just as we were beginning to calm down, a car comes driving through. So, when the road-builders decided their faulty design was no problem, I don't ...

... that buses have distinct issues. Luckily for us it is very early in the tourist season and usually there aren't too many tourist buses all trying to do the same things. The exceptions have been the high interest areas like the Prada Museum, L"Escorial and the Portuguese Riviera. Even as the temperature climbed as we drove south with the beautiful blue Atlantic glistening on our right and the sun shining down we noted that Portugal ...

... a gang of people who always holidayed together and they always came to Spain. My parents weren't adventurous people by any means, however, the first holiday I ever spent abroad they took us 3 kids on a 2 week holiday to Estartit (northern Spain) by train, which in 1972 would probably have been classed as very brave. As cities go Seville was an easy one to get into. You didn't get that horrible suburban sprawling ...

... it was so big I couldn't get the entire thing in one photo. Despite supposedly housing the tomb of Christopher Columbus, I couldn't justify spending 7euro to go into another church though, so once I'd taken enough photos I continued onto the Rio Guadalquivir. Not far from the cathedral and by the river was Seville's famous bullring, Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza. It was one of the oldest in the country, begun in ...

... and most backwards route possible. FYI if you are ever trying to go to Sevilla from Madrid, DON'T TAKE A TRAIN, trust me, I feel like I was on the Amazing Race and losing. But my arrival in Sevilla made it all worth it. It was a breezy 70 degree day and tropical compared to the rainy season in Florence. After settling in, we all were able to catch up over ...

... leave the others for there smoke. Apparently they get kicked you about an hour later for who knows what, but by this time i am fast asleep ready to go to leeds the next day! The following day i run around Madrid for a bit and then head to the airport at night to sleep at hotel Madrid Airpot (which is the marble floor). My flight leaves early in the morning and I'm off to London, which is the end of my trip to Spain, but no the end of my trip

... It was my first time trying it and it was good. We had strawberry flavor and later apple flavor. It was totally relaxing with the dim lights, really cool decorative lamps, and comfortable pillows. We also saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen! The clouds above the mountains were in purpleish pinkish swirls witht he Alhambra right below. I loved it! Overall, Granada is prolly the second best city to Sevilla and ...

... much more formally than we do in the U.S. I swear Spanish women must have been born in heels, but I donīt know how they even walk in them with all the cobblestone! I still dress pretty casual when I go to class, even though I know that makes me stick out, but I have classes with all Americans and itīs not like they canīt tell Iīm foreign anyway! My host mom usually dresses more fashionable that I do! Haha, although one day she did kind of look like a hooker. Black stiletto ...

... algo asi que aca estoy recuperando algo, ya que tengo 50 minutos hasta que salga el tren para Cadiz. De las 5 noches que pase en Sevilla, una sola dormi en el hostel. Tras la experiencia de Madrid con los CSers (lease, couchsurfers) me fui al albergue. La verdad que esta muy buena la sensacion de que es tu lugar, que no estas ocupando el lugar de nadie, pero tambien 'el viajero' que a veces uno quiere encontrar tampoco esta en el hostel. Aca hay mucho viajero VIP, que pese a que va de ...
