Hotel Melia Lebreros Seville

Home again, home again, jiggity jig - is my family the only one that ever says that? Because I just had the awkward thought that we might be. In any case, I'm back in Sevilla without any true news or important updates...well, maybe one. I'll get to that.

This is kind of like my random tidbits post, because there are funny things that I'...

We arrived in Spain at night but to nice weather. After a good night sleep it was time for sightseeing in Seville. Seville automatically gives the impression of a large city with a lot to offer and although the suburbs are slightly unattractive due to urbanization the city centre remains beautiful and retains an old quality to its design along w...

So, after a long bus ride....bloody bus rides, you get used to them, though, because i've been on so many and it'd be cheaper than reserving all the train rides from Lagos to Lisbon, to Madrid, and down to sevilla and it would take half the time. So, the adventure began...Equipped with an iron bladder because they had no washrooms on this bus an...

Well over a year ago I was sitting in California during interterm failing my course and I realized that I was tired of school and wanted to follow something I had wanted to do for years, Learn spanish. So I bought a plane ticket and before I knew it I was stepping of a plane in city that had been recommended to me by a spanish teacher at Rocky H...

The backpacking has begun. And so far it's none too spirit-crushing. Leaving Sotogrande was an ordeal. Though I was of the firm belief that I had left all my surplus things behind in Cambridge, Elni managed to empty at least another small backpack's worth of stuff into the bag she sent home. This, I have since realized, is an incomparably good t...

Seville reminded me much like Eugene Oregon. Very laid back, young adults everywhere, the people all ride bikes, this city has a very welcoming atmosphere to it. When I got off the station, I stripped down to a t-shirt and started walking, picking up some fresh oranges at a side market and walked the streets with no cares in the world - I felt a...

Went to the bullfight after I went on the bullring tour and they said there was a fight that night, ticket was only €7 so was not too bad. It didn´t start until 2200 so had to go for dinner early, found the Irish bar in Seville, which is just by the cathedral walls! Fight was pretty grim, and I´m not sure whether I´d want to go to another o...

Within Seville there are two division I futbol (soccer) teams - Real Betis and Sevilla. The rivalry is intense and people take their teams very seriously! To no surprise, the fact that the two teams are facing off 3 times this month has been a very big deal, and the first of the games, the Kings Cup, was last week. We enjoyed the game at a loca...
