Just right after almost 8 years I visit Sevilla again. As I lived over there for a short period of time and this has been the first place I visited in Spain, I managed to make quite a lot of memories. During all these years city has changed quite a lot as well as me, lets see what is going to go on this time. As my cousin is there for studies these months, I will have a very good company.
Andalusian people are always on a wave. Festas (celebrations) are happening not almost all the weekends, but quite recent also in working days. I got nice surprise in the first evening, parade celebrating some religious event. Native people are completely into it with all their feelings. For me is quite surprising how different is a culture in different parts of one country.
Heat for sure is already here, 39 gr. C in shadow, quite big heat.. So to feel a bit fresh during all the long day, there are some new instillations in the city. Refreshing water on the streets and textile roofs on the streets.
I had one obligatory object to visit Real Alcazar, spent some 5 hours walking in the premises. Very beautiful architecture and amazing parks.
Night life is very active all week long. Flameco is a very big part of Andalusian culture and flamenco performances are really authentic, heat, the music, dance and passion for that inside of people doing that. All the atmosphere was just like it is more than real making unreal sensation in the same time.
Metrapol Parasol - the largest world's wooden construction. Waiting the when the night comes on it's roof and counting the towers of churches just lightening up makes me feel again life is magic.
One of the benches presenting one of Spain's cities in Placa Espanya. Very nice surroundings, especially park Maria Luisa.
Sevilla is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, the air is full of vibrations of passion and well being feelings. Just taking a ride along the city makes the trip even more special. I did not do it, was walking a lot up and down in the day and night, enjoying the hot breeze of air and the special smell of Sevilla of orang trees flowers. The city is crossed by river Guagalquivir therefore the bridges over it makes the city even more special. I found people very friendly and opened and living in a very big contact with their culture keeping their traditions alive. Being very religious people are gathering a lot, even more than in more northern part of a country.
