We ate lunch outside of that cute little red restaurant and a million times over I talked about how perfect this trip was. Lyle said his pizza tasted like Digiorno so there’s that haha but maybe just get a fresh juice and take it all in. Wandering the streets here I kept finding little shops and restaurants cuter than the last. Everything is pretty close to each other so you shouldn’t have any problems. Also my favorite ice-cream place of all time was in Seville and I referenced it on my Spain food guide here. (Not that I am any expert but DANG).

Seville is probably one of the most visually appealing cities I have ever seen. As soon as I saw the Plaza De Espana I was done for. With the arch walkways, carriage rides and people rowing bows you could just sit there all day. We almost didn’t go to Seville and I am SO happy we did. We had already gone to Portugal and rented a car and decided why not and just drove right over the border (it’s really easy). In my travel book that I reference a lot (Lonely Planets Ultimate Travel List) it talked about how awesome the Alcazar of Seville was and how it was a must see and I agree. It was amazing! Don’t be alarmed when you see the huge line out front, it goes fast… although you can pay for a guide and skip the line if you are rushed for time. We waited in the line and got ice-cream from a local shop (seen below) and the views from the line are so quaint I didn’t mind the line. This trip we weren’t as planned out which was SO NICE. Granted I wouldn’t have tried this in the Summer when it’s so busy but going right before or after the busy time will make it easier for you to be flexible. For instance, we didn’t love Madrid as much as we did Barcelona so we left early and got to spend more time in other places. For trips where we are so booked and planned it can get stressful if you miss something or have bad weather so it was really convenient to travel this way. We would just pull up HostelWorld and book for the next night. We actually ended up saving some money by doing it this way. We road a bus in the middle of the night to get from Barcelona to Madrid for $40 a piece that we booked last minute. If you are trying to save money I recommend this at night because you get your transportation for cheap and then you don’t need to pay for a hotel. Buses are honestly the way to go, last time we used one was Thailand and they are the most affordable way to go. We never pay extra to have internet on our phones and we have never needed it. We always manage to find wifi. I also just downloaded this app Maps.Me that works offline around the world! I have already started saving places for my upcoming trip. Usually we just use google maps and save it the night before but it can be kind of difficult so I HIGHLY recommend this app. We loved just wandering and as you can see I am obsessed with the architecture there. Oh man is it dreamy.
