We really loved our apartment, which was comfortably located in the city center and a welcome respite from the heatwave!
We stopped for frozen yogurt, because why not!
Gotta love Snoopy!
During our evening, we enjoyed walking around and visiting some of the plazas, including Metropol Parasol, which was one of my favorite sites from my first trip to Sevilla while I was studying abroad in Spain three years ago.
On our next morning, we packed in several sites before our train ride in the afternoon. First, we stopped at the historical bull fighting ring, where we received a tour of the grounds and access to the museum. While bullfighting is not something that I personally support, it is definitely a major part of Spanish culture, and many cities have a bull ring that has been used for centuries.
This was the part of the bull ring where the royal spectators would sit to watch the bull fight. From left to right, the flags are for Andalucia (southern region of Spain), Spain, and Sevilla.
We thought this looked a little bit like Pat!
Our next stop was the Plaza de EspaƱa, which was incredible! I had actually not visited this when I was in Sevilla last time, since it is a little bit of a walk outside the city center. Jake was also very excited to visit this because it was used in the filming of Star Wars episode I as Naboo. Here is a picture for reference from the movie.
It was such an incredible and powerful experience plaza with stunning architecture, so we definitely enjoyed walking around here! I will let the pictures do the talking! :)
We just needed an R2D2!
Some people would take horse drawn carriage rides through the plaza!
This picture might seem a little random, but I felt nostalgic upon seeing this entrance to a park I had gone to during my past trip to Sevilla! I have included the picture of me from three years ago for reference haha!
Our final stop was the Cathedral, but unfortunately we did not have time to go inside. It was still beautiful on the outside though!
And that concludes our trip to Sevilla! Next up…Granada! Thanks for reading!
