This is a view of the main Cathedral in city center. On the other side is the barrio de Santa Cruz, a labyrinth of old streets filled with restaurants, shops and private residences. I really knew we were in a place with a lengthy history, I could just imagine going back thousands of years. It was very moving. We didn´t go up the tower, because they were charging too much:(
As you can see, the oranges are fully ripe and the setting very tropical. The temperatures were in the 60´s, perfect for long walks exploring an exotic location.
Here is the view from the bridge of the Triana neighborhood where we stayed. I think Angela is picking some baguette from her teeth:) The Cathedral tower to the upper left of the photo is next to the Triana Backpackers Hostal, our home for 3 wonderful nights.
The bridge in the background is called the Isabella II. It was one of our main walkways between the Triana neighborhood, where our hostal was located and the main section of old town. The right side of the bridge is Triana, the left is old town Sevilla.
This is Angela with her full gear after just arriving in Sevilla. We were both ready to head to our hostel and put away our bags.
Here we are on the 6 hour bus ride to Sevilla from Madrid. We are both tired, but are very exited as well. The ride way very beautiful, passing through some mountains and acre upon acre of olive trees.
