SPAIN sevilla (free tapas with drink!)
off to sevilla we go! to start our trip, suesan, chris and i flew over using vueling air…for thirty euros and only one and a half hours! so much more convenient than a train. i had high expectations because spaniards even recommend going to sevilla, and i was not let down! if i had been here before settling in barca, i am sure i woulda stayed. i love it! streets lined with orange trees (like the namesake), the gothic cathedral which reminded me of milano’s, and the plaza españa? AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS! the tile work was especially beautiful with the sun shining on it, and it is my favorite “plaza españa” thus far (ok i have only seen two…but still).
we couchsurfed with some people, and as always it was great to talk to locals and get their perspective on the city they live in! but going out for tapas with tina (one of the hosts), her friends, and other couchsurfers was cool because i met people doing similar things. oooh ya and i can not believe how cheap everything in sevilla is! i had no idea barça was so expensive until i got here…and paid only 50 cents for a beer (cruz campo-the local brew) and free tapas with drink. i need to move here stat! haha.
