Ahhh...Sevilla. I loved Sevilla. Sunny, warm, oozing with rich art culture history. Every moment was picture perfect.
I took an ealr morning train to Madrid, where I transferred and was on the way to Sevilla, where I arrived about mid-day.
After a short tussle with unnamed/misnamed streets, I checked into my very friendly hostel and then went for a quick walk on my own.
Then, I took a "free wlking tour" - a guide (from the Netherlands) showed us around, explaining the history and interesting tidbits about each site, all for tips. We walked all around the Old City, including (but not limited to) the Cathedral, the Alcazar, the Jewish Quarter, the Plaza de Espanya, the riverside, and the bullfighting rink.
At the end of the day, the hostel enjoyed a great cookout on the rooftop terrace. It was a bit chilly but the burgers and sangria were perfect, as well as hearing the mix of Americans, Indians, Germans, Jews, etc, talk.
