ADVENTURES IN PORTUGAL & SPAIN - Day 7

March 27, 2009

On our own in Seville. After breakfast several of us made the walking trek to the city center for shopping. Ceil bought sensible shoes. I bought these:


Yep, they are PURPLE.

After lunch, 5 of us ended up at the Cathedral, where we all decided we wanted to go to the Macarena, no not the dance, the church. Not knowing how to get there, we negotiated with a carriage driver to take the five of us for 40euros. A deal, considering it was quite a trip.



When we got there the Basillica was closed until 5:00, because everything closes between 2 & 5. We wandered down the old wall-fortress of the city and ended up at a little cerveceria across from the church.



After seeing the crying virgin and praying for World Peace, we took 2 taxis back to the hotel. Dinner was an adventure. Try to find something open in Seville before 9:00pm. We found a place down the street from the hotel and were the only people there. However, as we were leaving the locals were coming in.
