Portugal to Spain, 2 days into Week 4

We felt Spain deserved it's own mini blog.

Seville Spain was only a 4-1/2 hour bus ride from Tavira so we went on a 2 day adventure to explore this historic city. What a mistake! As the kids would say "we didn't like it.......we LOVED it". A week or even a month wouldn't be enough time to immerse oneself into the culture, beauty and upbeat vibe of Seville. ( would like to give that a try)  Greek myth has it that Hercules discovered the city over 3000 years ago. Lonely Planet said it best, "modern Seville has the ability to adapt and etch fresh new brush strokes onto an ancient canvas".

Our apartment bordered on Alameda de Hercules, a residential park surrounded by bars, pubs, restaurants, bakeries, everything to seduce our already over indulged gastronomic cravings.

With tourist map in hand, we headed south down narrow streets and walkways. The sights, sounds and overall experience would be impossible to describe so here are some pictures of a few sights. And yes brother Don, we visited a "🎶Barber of Seville,  Figaro Figaro Figaro 🎶".

Patio of our host who loves his Cacti!

Pedestrian parks were throughout the city

A romantic way to view the historic area

Going to the palace "to see the queen"!

I'd like to say we went shopping in this 5 floor department store, but nope, just on the way to the "bano" and saw a whole section of Flamenco costumes. Ole! 💃

Caught the 6:30am train, sun rise here 8:08. It was raining but we were still sorry to be leaving. Now on to the seaside town of Lagos, Portugal and completion of Week 4.
