Sevilla

We had such a great day in Sevilla. It's on my list of favorite cities because it is so beautiful. First of all, the hotel that we stayed at was one of the best that we've had on our trips and the breakfast they offered was fantastic. That helped to start off the day well. We started our tour at 9:00 and had a tour of the Alcazar Palace, which is super gorgeous and has incredible gardens, then we toured the Cathedral. Here's Leigh and I in front of the Cathedral in Sevilla: It's probably one of my favorite Cathedrals we've seen.

The floors are always way cool in Spain.

The Cathedral: And we got to climb to the top of the tower, which offered some pretty sweet views of the city.

Me at the top...it was super windy up there.

Then we had free time for the rest of the day, so Kiersten, Leigh, Carolina and I went to find us some Kebabs. We were successful and they were sooooo delicious. We took them to go and ate in a park. It was the ideal lunch.

Then we wandered the city and stumbled upon this beauty. A candy store that was playing happy music from the 50's. We all bought some candy to snack on and it was super yummy.

We were told that we had to see las setas (?) so we found them at the Plaza Mayor. They are the sweet ceiling that you seen in this picture. They are made out of wood and it covers this plaza. Pretty sweet.

This was my reaction to it because I thought it was so cool.

Then we eventually found La Plaza de España, which is also super pretty. There is a park attached to the plaza so we sat there for a little while chatting and enjoying the day.

We ate more of our candy. Kiersten and I both got these elephants to eat, so we had to take a picture acting like an elephant of course. 

Then later that night we all met back at the hotel to take our bus to see a FLAMENCO SHOW!!!! It was awesome to say the least. The show lasted for two hours and different dancers, singers or guitarists would go on stage for about 15 minutes each. It's just such a cool art form because it includes so many different things and is pretty much mad up on the spot. They all just follow each other. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

Also their outfits are cool too.

After the show some of us ventured out into the rain to get churros and chocolate. We weren't exactly sure where the restaurant was so we wandered for a little while, but we found one and it was delicious as always. Overall the day in Sevilla was great!
