- As our first night happened to be a Saturday, we felt obliged to partake in the hostel pub crawl. Good crew, cheap drinks and a bit of rowdiness confirmed a good evening.
- After a bit of a sleep in the next day, we went on the free 2-hour walking tour which gave us a good overview of the cities attractions and historical significance. The 46-degree heat certainly made it hard work!
- Armed with our new understanding of the city, we set off to the Torre XX for. Tour of the bullfighting ring and museum. Unfortunately the summer heat renders bullfighting cancelled, but the tour of what is one of Spains most historic bullfighting rings gave us a good appreciation of the sports prestige.
- Next up we trekked over tothe Real Alcazar. We spent a good 2-3 hours walking through the various rooms, courtyards and gardens, all decorated with elaborate detailing. A must-see if you ever go to Seville.
- On our final day we went to the Seville Cathedral - Europes third largest. Interestingly, the Cathedral was the closest attraction to our hostel and one of the last thing we did. The inside was excessive, massive cielings and over-the-top alters. A climb to the top of the tower cofirmes to us that Seville is definitely viewed from ground level.
- Our final stop was the Plaza d'España - a massive arced building encompassing a yet-to-be constructed river/fountain. The construction took away from it a bit but the overall presentation can only be described as epic.
