Sevilla- La Feria






Sevilla was beautiful... what a surprise! Haha. (Not). We left Granada at 8:30, and arrive in Sevilla a bit before noon. Once we got there, we went to this park/old-age-city. It was so ornate with plants and fountains. We went in the palace, and it was really neat to see the actually rooms where the King would sleep, and see the Queen's bath! After that, we had a lot of free time to just explore the city. I wanted to see the "Torre de Oro" becuase we had studied it in my art class. We made our way to the river, and found it :) After that some friends and I decided that we were getting the munchies. We found a random restuarant beside the river, and enjoyed some Sangria in the Spanish sun. (That rolls of the tongue niceley). After the relaxing afternoon, it was time to try and be a bit more "touristy" and take advantage of being in Sevilla for the day! We went to the cathedral, which is actually the 3rd largest cathedral in the world. It was absolutely unbelievable. SO huge.... it was unreal. We even got to climb up to the top of the tower... where the bells were. It was a 36 stair flight climb, and the view was amazing at the top! After that we went to the Plaza de Sevilla. The COOLEST thing about this plaza was that it was were parts of Star Wars was filmed! (I believe its Attack of the Clones) Or something... Haha. By the end of the day we were exhausted... and ready to be back in Granada. Sevilla was wonderful, just another day in the beautiful life!
