Sevilla, Spain

Friday, October 18 – Wednesday, October 23

Back in Spain! Give me all the tapas!

I took a train from Lisbon to Faro and a then a bus from Faro to Sevilla. I was able to get from the bus station to my Airbnb on foot, walking under this fabulous artistic structure along the way. It’s known as Las Setas De Sevilla and is located in a plaza just around the corner from where I was staying!

Right away, I figured out that the layout of Sevilla is extremely confusing! I pride myself on having a pretty good sense of direction but I’ll be damned if I didn’t keep getting lost over and over, even with a map on my phone right in front of my face!

But I just let myself stroll around and get lost, doing loops around the same area if that’s what happened (and it did).

Torre del Oro along the Canal de Alfonso XIII

Plaza de toros, a huge bullfighting ring and museum

The highlights by far for me were the Catedral de Sevilla and the Royal Alcázar de Sevilla. Both unbelievable complexes that took many hours to explore. I also learned what a huge nerd I am for audio tours. I cannot pass one up!
