Sevilla, España

Spanish Countryside from the Train
Our three days in Seville were amazing and so special. It was so wonderful to get off the ship for a decent patch of time and escape to be by ourselves, which is a rare thing. It was a pleasant and relaxing 1 hr 45 min journey by train to and from Seville.







La Plaza Espana












The Cathedral is a huge structure which dominates the skyline of the old city. Our favourite spot was the Plaza de Espana, which consisted of a huge paved courtyard, with a river flowing through it, surrounded by a palatial structure with a tall tower at each end.




























































We stayed in a bed an breakfast and ate piles of tapas and drank litres of Sangria. The temperature was around 37 degrees at the heat of the day, so we either took a Siesta like the rest of the city or retired to a cool, shady spot in the Parque de Maria Luisa or by the river.

Puente Del Isabel II
There were mounted policemen and horse-drawn carts all over the city. One clever transport feature that fascinated us was the “bike road”, a mini road painted green for bicycles, that ran parallel to the footpath. We thought this was a brilliant idea.
