Sevilla.

The most commercial and touristy place on our week long trip.
I won’t say I didn’t like it. I did like it.
But, too commercial for me.
Of course, it is that commercial because there are so many things to see, and so many things to do, but this city, at least the central part where everything is, is full of Starbucks and Burger Kings. Not that I have anything against these establishments, but that little restaurant in the corner where we ate a full meal for 11 euros is Sevilla, not McDonalds.
We spent two days in Sevilla at different places, the first one a dirty hostel near the centre of the city, while the other one was an apartment 20 minutes from the centre. I don’t mind travelling to the centre because the apartment was really something. When you have a nice place to come back to after a whole day of visiting new places in the rain, it makes your day.



So, Sevilla has one of the biggest cathedrals in the world, which is truly overwhelming. It is so big and encompassing that you feel tiny in front of it. Then you go up the tower, from where you can see all of Sevilla. The coloured houses stand out in the foggy mist making it a sight that you will never forget!
How do we get to the centre of the city? By a tram. Yes, a tram. There’s a little train that takes you everywhere worth going. This city was made for the tourists!
One of the places that I loved was Plaza de España, 5 minutes from the centre, but very, very beautiful. I am attaching a picture to elaborate. Because even though I consider my writing skills to be above average, I cannot describe this place.



So, that was the last of my road trip. A week of travelling tires you out, but it was all so worth it.
