Day 8 and 9: Sevilla

On Saturday, we took a bus from Cadiz to Sevilla at 11:15 and got there around 1 pm.  We went and got lunch and then we checked in at our hostel.  It was the first time I've ever stayed at a hostel and I thought it was pretty nice.  After we dropped off our stuff, we walked around Sevilla and saw the Sevilla Cathedral which was beautiful! Then we went to the Royal Alcazar which was an Arab palace with beautiful gardens and architecture.  We walked around the rest of the day, saw many festivals of Cruz de Mayo, and got tapas for dinner.  After dinner, we got ready for the night and went to a flamenco bar to watch flamenco dancing.  The musicians and dancers were so good and I really want to learn now! Then we went on a night tour with a tour guide to popular clubs to go dancing.  It was so much fun and we met a lot of people from different countries like Australia, Ireland, and England.  On Sunday, we checked out of the hostel and went to the Cathedral to attend mass in Spanish.  Then we got lunch until the bell tower of the Cathedral opened for us to climb all the way to the top and see Sevilla from a birds eye view.  It was amazing! Afterwards, we headed towards la plaza de Espana which was a must-see, and it was so cool! It was this amazing building with a fountain in the middle of the plaza and a moat all around with boats in the water.  It was very neat.  This was the last thing we saw in Sevilla before we got on the bus to return to Cadiz.  We took the 2 hour bus ride back to Cadiz and it was good to be "home."  I loved Sevilla, but it was very hot there and I'm so glad to be in Cadiz! I'm so glad I got to visit Sevilla though! Hasta luego!
