Sevilla and Córdoba

I absolutely loved having the opportunity to see other parts of Spain. However leaving Granada for only two days made me just realized how much this place is home for me. Our trip started with us visiting Cordoba, I enjoyed Cordoba it was very beautiful, however not nearly as exciting as Granada! We spent most of our time here looking at Cathedrals and walking around. Sadly my phone was dead for most of this trip, however I honestly felt as if I had a much more personal connection because I did not have to take out my phone every two seconds to take a picture for my facebook. Two pictures that I thought were cool and snapped inside the Cathedral before my phone passed away =( are below!


Now the fun Begins! Seville is where I had the most fun, learned the most, and had an active battery life. When we arrived in Seville the first thing that I realized was that I did not have to worry about cars magically appearing and hitting me (like in Granada), But here people were riding bikes everywhere!

I learned so much here, the first site we visited was the location of several star wars movies, I grew up around star wars so this was surreal.

In my opinion here the attractions were nothing sort of spectacular. Although as usual we walked alot I never seemed to become fatigued, probably because of the excitement of seeing such awesome features. In Seville there was also many people riding around in horses, being a city boy I was never necessarily use to seeing this so often. I felt kind of in different about seeing the horse rides, the horses were mostly treated like product solely for tourist entertainment. 

Also In Seville you always had to be more aware of scammers. On several different occasions women "selling rosemary" tried to convince us to talk to them, and then would try to grab our arms until we paid for their services. This was very interesting and new to me personally. It was also very cool to see how much pride seville had in all of spain, and not solely seville. Throughout many places I noticed different flags, even an American flag

Night life in Seville was awesome for my friend and I we had a blast..But I realized that every where in Spain was not as cheap as Granada. For example we may have paid 2 euros for a drink in Granada, but that same drink in Seville is more like 4 euros or maybe five. The people in Seville were also very energetic. While we were at the bar we also were treated to a great showing of music, and people singing traditional Espana Canciones! 

Go Seville!
