Seville

Up early, checked out. We met a Spanish guy who had spent a year in Cork learning English.
We headed to the station. 36 deg leaving Jerez and 42deg when we got to Seville at lunchtime. We got the bus to the tobacco factory and walked through the Murillo gardens. It was way too hot and sticky to enjoy them.
We got into the Barrio and had a sit down and a beer. The bar had a Disney style cooling spray and we sat there for ages. We needed that cooling system.
We got a taxi ( I know !!) from the square to the Hotel Andaluse. It is a bit far outside the city....
Very nice room and bathroom. Good wifi too.
We got the bus into city, I wore flip flops, not a good idea because we had to walk a long way from the bus stop to get to the main sights.
We stopped for a sit down, Mahou beer, and then headed to Sierpes. The streets were all decorated and there was public seating outside café Laredo, with an orchestra playing.
The windows and balconies were covered in flowers, candles lighting. It was a Corpus Christi procession and celebration.
We went to La Viuda for eats. Beer was good and we had Prawns, potatoes, onions, egg and onion salad too. All tapas. Good food.
Arven wasn't too sure where to catch the bus back to the hotel. We walked and walked but finally M asked three guys in a bar and we were directed to the number 34 stop.
We had a long wait for the bus but finally we got back to the hotel. Very tired and very warm. Had long showers and decided to plan tomorrow a bit better with a lot less walking.
Hopefully it will be cooler day too.Leggi altro
