Seville Spain
If you go to Spain, don’t miss Seville. Everyone wanted to do a tour while we were working on Madrid and Barcelona, so we’ll have to go back. Until we do, we picked up a few tips.
The don’t miss sights are the cathedral and the Alcazar. The cathedral is the world’s largest Gothic building and the Alcazar was built by the Moors in the tenth century and still used today. Third on the list is the bullring.
I know. People are squeemish about bullfighting. But it still goes on, so you might as well see the place it happens. You don’t have to go to a performance.
People in Seville are warm and friendly. They haven’t gotten so jaded about tourists. And the food is really good. Have a meal or snack at an outdoor cafe near the cathedral. And for a low cost treat, go to one of the bars and get a sandwich to enjoy along the Guadalquivir River. Might as well get ham, after all, the Spanish are passionate about ham, which they call hamone.
Don’t leave Spain without eating paella and gazpacho. It would be like coming to America to a baseball game and not eating a hot dog.
Everywhere in Spain tourists must be on the lookout for pick pockets. Don’t get careless. But it is easy to get around in Seville. Taxies are everywhere and the busses are cheap and reliable.
Let us know if you go. When we go back we’ll appreciate tips from you .
