We arrived in Sevilla this afternoon and so far we absolutely love it! Reminds us a lot like Florence, mainly all the super old buildings & really narrow streets. Barcelona had snow, first time in 25 years, so the sun here feels amazing. Barcelona was fun though too, the snow and freezing rain added to the adventure. Yesterday we went to Sagrada Familia but it was under extra construction so you couldn’t go up the stairs. Inside most of it was roped off but we got a few pictures before our camera died. We also went and looked at a bunch of Gaudi’s architecture and saw some different areas of the city (the Eixample). After a few hours, our shoes & socks were soaked (we weren’t planning on snow) so we headed back to our hotel to get warm.
This morning we took a flight from Barcelona to Sevilla and right after check in we were starving for lunch and headed down the street to stroll around. We found a Great tapas bar with outside seating in the courtyard. I love the culture here, everyone has wine in the middle of the day, not sure if they’re working or not but everyone seems so relaxed & happy. We then walked down to the Gardens and started familiarizing ourselves with the area. We don’t have much planned for this leg of the trip, I think our days will revolve around breakfast, lunch and dinner then we’ll find activities to do in between. We’re so happy for this sun and warm weather! Our hotel is in a great location, Santa Cruz, so we’re within walking distance to everything. I read in our Rick Steve’s Spain book that all the locals walk along the river after dinner so we’ll probably start that tradition as well. So far it doesn’t seem like that many people here speak English like they did in Barcelona so we’ll have to brush up on our vocabulary.
We were finally able to upload our pictures so the link is below.
