Travel Recommendation: Seville

No caption needed 


The SAI Barcelona family flew to Seville two weekends ago to experience the south of Spain’s beloved culture. The capital city of the autonomous community of Andalusia, Sevilla, is home to 700,000 people. We started the trip on a rare rainy day walking off the plane and finding ourselves in the middle of a taxi strike. Eventually, we settled into our hotel and walked to the Metropol Parasol located in the old quarter of Seville. We spent time admiring the 360-degree view of the city while trying to stay dry.

The following day the sun glistened off the colorful buildings bringing the city to life. Our second day in Sevilla consisted of touring La Giralda, the Cathedral, and the Real Alcazar de Sevilla. After lunch, Leticia and Sandrine guided us to La Maestranza, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings. At the bullfighting ring, we walked and listened to an audio tour sharing the history of the great dance between the matador and the bull. The day finished with witnessing my first Flamenco show. Several dances were performed each one better than the last. The audience felt the emotion and passion of the dancers, guitarist, and singers bringing some to tears.

We spent the last day of our trip biking around Seville seeing Plaza de España and biking by the Guadalquivir river. Seville found a special place in my heart the urges me to return.
