Seville

This is us winging it at our best. Our goal was to get to Gibraltor after our two nights in Cordoba but it just wasn't possible due to crappy train times. Instead we got on whatever train left next..... Hola Sevilla!

We lucked out big time going to Seville as there happened to be a BULLFIGHT the night we arrived! Expensive but well worth the entertainment. Here are the highlights:

1 The bullring. Old and beautifull, I felt like I was in meidevil times. You even sit on the original brick seats!

2 All the music is played by a live brass band.

3 One bull, after being stabbed in the head with a sword, flung his head up and threw the sword into the crowd. Don't worry, this was a good 10 feet away.

Don't ask us the history of bullfighting, we have no idea. Maybe somebody can research it and let us know. As for now I am just happy I get to tell everyone I saw a BULLFIGHT!

The next day we spent some time exploring the maze of streets in Seville. We also visited the worlds largest cathedral in area, and climbed the 32 ramps of the bell tower for a great view of the city.

The next day it was bye bye Seville!
