Seville
I was in Seville for 20 hours. It is attractive and I plan to return Saturday afternoon for a 3 hour tour that the hostal gives.
The Cathedral is the 3rd largest church in the world. I believe it. Nearby is the Alcazar which I hope to visit Saturday.
The street near the hostal is great for tasting tapas at night. I met several interesting waiters from Jordan and Paraguay. Ahmad from Jordan introduced me to Barbio wine, a nice white wine.
The hostal, Sammy, is located in the oldest part of Seville, Barrio Santa Cruz, Maze like streets surround it lined with orange trees ready to be picked. Sammys is one of the nicest hostal's I've stayed in.
Cadiz pronounced like KA dith.
Well, the 1st two days it was cold and very windy! Today it began to warm up but still quite windy. Then again it sits right on the Atlantic.
Siesta is for real here. 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. many places are closed, shops and tourist sites!
Will have to see the inside of many places Saturday a.m. as I have classes from 9 - 1:30. Took a great walk through the narrow winding streets today and visited the Museo de Cadiz, excellent.
S.I.C. Spanish in Cadiz is excellent. I like my teacher and she really works us!
Tomorrow after classes hopefully Jerez de la Frontera, one of 3 major sherry producing sites.
Thursday after classes possibly Arcos de la Frontera which sits on a high ridge with sheer precipices.
Cheers!
