Seville, Spain

We used Seville as our hub for the exploring we were gonna so in southern Spain and Gibraltar. I am so glad I visited this city it is very beautiful. Although so hot. It was like 97-98 degrees when we were there the high in Lisbon was like 80 and it was about 75-80 on the coast to so 98 was very very hot! We kept cool by cranking the AC in our room and eating lots of ice cream. The first day we were there actually Spain and Portugal was playing in the World Cup and people were so excited. We caught a little bit of it in our hotels bar when we were enjoying sangria but then we went out to explore the city so we didn’t catch the rest of the game but we could hear cheers and boos ring out across the city it was crazy. It is just like this coke commercial. You can really hear what’s going on from everywhere!

One of the main sites I wanted to see was the Metropol Parasol. It is a really big modern art sculpture / building. You can go up on top of it and get amazing views of the city. Underneath there was all sorts of street performers and people hanging out and enjoying a wonderful Spanish evening. We then headed to get tapas at Perro Viejo cause you can’t go to Spain without enjoying tapas. And after we did a quick scan for dessert and ended up at ice wave a place that makes the ice cream in front of you on a frozen stone and that rolls it up. Very cool.

The last full day we were in Seville we enjoyed the views and sights from the Plaza de Espana. In the morning we got brunch at Jesters. A cute little smoothie, coffee, pastry shop that seemed more hipster than traditional but it was great we even went back again before we left town. The Plaza de Espana was magnificent. So gorgeous and so much tile everywhere. There were even Flamenco dancers performing in the square under the shade of course since it was so hot. We also made a stop at Ofelias bakery so get some cupcakes for an evening desert and they were great. I definitely recommend the carrot cake one the Oreo one seemed a little too dry. We also grabbed take away pizza at La Urbana Pizza Shop so we could head back to our hotel room, get out of the heat, and watch the World Cup !

We also couldn’t leave town without getting churros I had to do a quick google search of the best churros in Seville and we went to Bar El Comercio and it did not disappoint. They were made fresh (which is definitely key when getting churros) and came with warm chocolate for dipping! We loved Seville Spain and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Spain! It was lovely and beautiful and the food was delicious which is a key factor to enjoying a vacation ;)
