Sevilla

First of all, Sevilla was awesome! I loved the city so so much.  But it was soooo hot and made me so very thankful for the weather here in Barcelona! 

Highlights from the city were---

1. Flamanco Show (traditional dancing)
Little did we know, Flamanco is a pretty emotional dance/performance type thing.  We got there and I could not even hold my laughter in because the performers had such straight and serious faces.  It was super cultural and much different than I expected.  At random times the guy playing the guitar in the back would make a crying/whaling sound, while the lady tapped her feet at a crazy beat.

2.  Bullfight
Oh my goodness, the bullfight..... now that was a cultural experience.  It was so cool, but I had no idea that more than one bull was killed at these things.  They killed like at least six right in front of our eyes :(

 Got out the sword
 And killed :(

sooo sad


 The the horses dragged him away..


(we had to sit up top to hide from the sun)

3. The Real Alcazar
Another cool Moorish Palace / Gardens






4. Hotel EME
We went to a hotel one night that had a view of the cathedral and city on the roof.  It was so beautiful!
