Vamos a Sevilla!







Today we took a two and a half hour ride on the AVE (high-speed) train to the southern city of Seville. When we arrived, we checked into our unique hotel, La Musica de Sevilla, which has musically-themed rooms with pianos and guitars to play in the lobby. It´s right in the center of the sites we want to see, so we´ll be able to walk everywhere while we´re here. The only problem with that is the scorching heat! It is very hot, but we´re enjoying our cool room and as much shade as possible.


After lunch, we toured the Alcazar, a former Moorish castle that is a current royal residence. The castle has a unique style of mixed Moorish and Spanish architecture, with amazing moasics and gardens. We saw a variety of animals when we walked through the gardens, including peacocks, ducks, and a very cute cat!


After a refreshing siesta in our room, we´re on our way to enjoy some more tapas for dinner, then we´ll check out a recommended spot that is the equivalent of a beer garden for sangria! Hasta manana!

Vamos a la jardín de la sangría!
¡Más bebe para cada uno! Deje el buen rodillo de las épocas!
Hooray para el aire acondicionado!
