• Sevilla

    Apr 20–25, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    For my first night in Sevilla I stayed at a hostel that costed ~$60. I asked why it was so expensive and they told me it was the last day of La Feria, which is a huge flamenco festival. I decided to go and went in my new shoes. It was a huge festival with tents all over. People were drinking and dancing while playing music, and dressed up in flamenco attire. There was also a fair with rides, games, and food. On the way back to the hostel, I felt my ankle tweak, and I knew I messed up because I was in my new shoes with more ankle support. Also even though it was $60, it was not a good hostel. I had instant pasta and just needed to boil water, but they didn't have any pots in their kitchen. All they had was a dirty kettle which I didn't use, so I had 3 Oreos for dinner. Also my bed didn't have blankets on it so I slept in my dirty clothes and used my shirt as a blanket. I moved hostels the next day.

    Rested my ankle in the hostel for the next couple of days. Made some friends at the hostel and read the Alchemist while I was resting. Went to the bull fighting ring, the Alcazar, and La Plaza de España. At the Plaza de España I met an older couple who traveled the world, and they showed me Find Penguins.

    Post trip notes: made 2 friends in Sevilla that I ended up seeing again. Ben and Pookie.
