SEVILLA!

Last Easter I went to Sevilla and I spent some days there. We left the 31th by plane very early in the morning. When we arrived we rent two cars and we went to the apartment that we had rent in Bromujos, a little urbanization near Sevilla. In the afternoon we visited the Gold Tower, where the ancient spanish people kept the gold from America; and “La Maestranza” the typical bullring and the museum. After that we ate some tapas in a typical tavern with a very funny name: “Matahambre”

The next day was the Palm Sunday and all the people wore smart and new clothes and they went to see the different processions. It was cloudy and some processions didn’t start. We visited “Plaza España”, a very beautiful semi-circular square. That midday we had lunch in an argentinean restaurant. Then, in the afternoon, we saw one procession but before we did a cruise through the Guadalquivir.

On Monday, we woke up early and we’re going to visit “Los Reales Alcázares”, where the old kings of Spain had lived. Their rooms are very big and well-decorated and they have very colourful gardens. In the afternoon we visited the Macarena and and then, unexpectedly, we saw a very long procession. I don’t like the processions because I am a nonbeliever and I found it long and boring.

The following two days we did one-day trips. At first we went to Jerez and we visited the Alvaro Domecq winery, where we saw the different types of Jerez wine and we also did a little wine-tasting. After that, immediately we went to see the horse show of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation. The show was wonderful and the horses were gorgeous and very well-educated. That night we watched the F.C.Barcelona VS Milan match in a typical bar. 

The next one-day trip was in Córdoba. There, we visited the cathedral. It was fantastic! The cathedral is an ancient mesquite and the arabian arches are really beautiful. In the afternoon we saw another procession, but this one was shorter than the others.

The last day we were going to see the Sevilla’s cathedral and “La Giralda”. The gothic cathedral is very big and “La Giralda” is the bell tower. This bell tower hasn’t got stairs and you have to go up by ramps. Then we did a tour with carts pulled by horses. At last we went to the airport and we returned home but the plane wasn’t there at time, so we arrived at home too late! Although, it was a very good time!
