San Vicente

Our trip to Seville was pretty short. All we had to to do was to take a 3 hour bus ride to Seville and then a 6 minute walk to our apartment. Our apartment was much more quiet in Seville compared to Granada but the Architecture wasn’t too different.

The next day we explored the town a bit, but all the shops were closed so we couldn’t do much. But it was nice to get a vibe of the place.

On our 2nd day we went to a Spanish Palace which the Spanish royalty still use. It was much smaller than the ones in France and Germany but it was still big!

The next day we didn’t really do much but on the 4th day we did the complete opposite.

On the 4th day we went to the Plaza de Espanya, where they filmed a few movies including Star Wars. It was huge. There we took some photos and looked around. We even saw some Flamenco dancing. After that we went on a churro hunt where we got lost multiple times down tiny streets because the GPS was getting lost. That night we went out for a special dinner because it was really cheap for All Hallows Day ( a Spanish public holiday) also for All Hallows day they had a band parading past our house so we could watch it from our balcony. And it had a a bunch of priests with candles and a float with a statue of Mary on it, and a whole brass instrument band.

On our second last day we booked tickets to see a Flamenco performance and it was amazing. There were three people on the stage. A dancer, singer and a guitar player. Each one of them took their talent to the extreme. The dancer was hitting the ground so hard with her feet that I’m surprised she didn’t break an ankle. The singer / clapper guy was singing so loud and clapping so hard too. And the guitarist was playing super fast. I think I liked Seville better than Granada. It seemed more relaxed and clean. They had wider streets, no cars in the old town and a bunch of street entertainment, making it the perfect city for me.Read more
