Seville, Spain

We escaped from the Costa Del Sol to Seville and it felt like we were being freed from shackles. We would have rather escaped the entire country, but that was not really possible yet. Although we came to a nicer place and a nicer hotel, it was still very hot. We can’t say we understood the Spanish Siesta until we came to Seville. After lunch, with the heat all we felt like doing was lying down and napping and that is exactly what we did both days. Unfortunately this lazy attitude caused us to miss out on seeing the sites of Seville, using our time here escape, eat and rest.

We ate at Taberna Coloniales for lunch, which was a popular tapas spot. For dinner we ate at Az Zait which was completely deserted because we ate early (for Spain’s standards). We spent the night listening to a street performer by the cathedral. It was quite romantic. We stayed in The Petit Palace Marquis Santa Cruz the first night and decided to book a second night on Expedia because it was cheaper than doing it in the lobby. We found out in the morning that Bryan had accidentally booked a room at the sister hotel The Petit Palace Marquis Santa Ana for the same price but not including parking. We talked to everyone possible to try to get them to change the reservation but they would not, so we reluctantly walked our luggage across town in the heat to the other hotel. The last day went for a shopping spree at the Sfera and bought a bunch of clothes for 2 euro each. That night we went to dinner at Enrique Becerra, where we found and online recommendation and left very bitter about the money we spent and the meal we ate. This meal threw us overboard being completely sick of tapas food and disgusted with jamon and Spain in general.
