This day I had an entire day in Sevilla. Lots of time to explore, visit various landmarks, and shop! I didn't think I would actually have time to stop in at shops and buy things, but I did! I found a nice dress, and some cool pottery from a small shop a walk away from town. Talked with the artist, which was really cool!
My feet were definitely hurting at the end of the day. Over 12 hours of walking will do that I guess. Got a lot ground covered in one day. Went to a Flamenco show at night, which is a presentation of traditional dance. I finished the evening with a nice meal at a cool restaurant named La Bulla. All of the waitors have been so nice! Trying to speak english to me, giving me free drinks, having a laugh. It was a nice place, but I did not finish eating until midnight, although that seems to be the norm here.
Here are some pics from the day.
View of Sevilla from the Torre del Oro, or the 12 sided Tower of Gold.
Me at the top of the tower! There were lots of maritime artificats contained here, but the best part of the tower was the view of the city.
Walking across a bridge. View of the tower in the background.
Lunch. Or more accurately, tapas. This was some sort of grilled pork on bread, and it was quite tastey!
Inside the Sevilla Cathedral. Dad, I thought you would like this. This is the tomb of Christopher Columbus.
Me in the courtyard of the Cathedral. Self timer on the camera came in handy!
Walking the streets of Sevilla. Lots of stopping in the little shops, and just walking with no plan in mind. Just exploring.
This is not a great picture, but it was at a Flamenco show in Sevilla. At this show they feature traditional dancing and singing. It was fantastic!
Dinner at La Bulla. Not sure exactly what this is, it was some sort of Peruvian food - stuffed with chiken, pork, and egg. Almost tasted like couscous, with discoveries of different items within it!
