When we were planning the itinerary of the trip, we originally thought we would go to Granada, Barcelona, and Madrid. But after some deliberation and tips from friends, we decided to nix Barcelona and visit Seville instead. Seville is a much smaller city, that can be seen mostly on foot, which is what we needed seeing that we would be pushing a stroller around. I was excited because I had already been to Barcelona during my semester abroad, so I would get to see a new city! We were soo glad we made the switch. Seville is absolutely breath taking and the perfect stop for the day and half we had free!
We took an early morning train out of Granada and arrived in Seville a couple hours later.
Carter had his own seat and made a new friend along the way...
Beautiful Spanish Countryside
That Aunt Lynnie seem less than enthused about...
We hit the ground running upon our arrival and spent the whole first day seeing the sights of the city!
Seville Cathedral: Third largest church in the world...
and houses the body of Chirstopher Columbus.
Where we climbed to the top of the bell tower for a wonderful view of the entire city!
The Real Alcazar: A Palace built by the Moors that now serves as the official Royal Residence when they are in Seville...
Ran into a random Procession that we believe was for a Religious Holiday...
We saw some guys in costume and figured they must know what was going on. I went over to ask and found out they didn't have a clue. They were just out wasted celebrating their med school graduation. For which, they thought they each deserved a hug from the blonde American girl.
Plaza De Espana: a Beutiful Square that we are pretty sure serves no purpose at all after it was built for an Exposition in 1929. Makes for beautiful pics though!
The Bull Fighting Ring of Seville (Separate post on the actual fight to come...)
and caught a Flamenco Dancing Show!
We had a very busy couple of days but absolutely fell in love with Seville!
