Day 14, 15 & 16 – Sevilla Edition

A very low key few days as Kirsten has a bit of a cold and Nathan was resting up for his marathon debut. We have enjoyed a slower paced couple of days especially as we stayed in a nice Airbnb apartment in Sevilla.

Sights

• Sevilla is a cute little city in which everything is within walking distance, so we walked and visited lots of amazing Cathedrals and beautiful orange trees.
• Sevilla has a lovely river running through it so we went for a walk along it one day and for a bike ride along it another day.
• Placa d’espanya was a highlight, an amazing building with a really massive park next to it. We still don’t know what its purpose is but we enjoyed exploring it.
• One night we enjoyed a flamenco show. We were very impressed by how skilled both the musicians (especially the guitarist) and the dancers were (they were so fast).
• The other night we enjoyed a special Sevilla light show with 8 giant angels being lit up to the tune of Feliz Navidad. When Kirsten came to Sevilla in 2012 with her family they had a similar light show which lit up a building. They really know how to celebrate Christmas here! They also had a free miniature Christmas village we stumbled onto one day.
• Today we left Sevilla and went to Pisa. Kirsten has said that if she had to be sick in any place it would be here as she isn’t a big fan.

Video of light show (not as good as the 2012 one but still fun!): https://vimeo.com/user105822180/review/379471500/be1b0407ca

Tapas Galore

We can’t decide which region does the best tapas out of Barcelona, Granada and Sevilla. They were all too delicious to decide between. A highlight in Sevilla was the mustard chicken and stuffed eggplant. It’s like choosing your favourite child!

Aldi spreads joy all around the world

Surprisingly one of the highlights of the trip for Kirsten has been visiting all the different supermarkets and so she was delighted to see Sevilla had an Aldi within walking distance. We went there as soon as we arrived and Kirsten was as excited as a kid in a candy shop. Aldi brings happiness to people all over the globe. Sadly they didn’t have any Asian or Indian sauces, at all. Travesty.
