La vida en Sevilla

Well, our time in Tarifa was awesome. The Beaches there were great. It left you feeling, very how shall I say,... "Natural". Haha... (inside joke, sorry).  One thing I would like to say about my time staying at the Hotel Hurricane in Tarifa was that they had an amazing breakfast every morning. It was great that last morning to just sit by the pool with an ocean view and have Café con Leche with a friend.  However... the Adventure moves forward. ... Onward to Sevilla.

Linesur... Our Ticket to Paradise

We took a bus to and from Tarifa from Sevilla. It was quite a ride. I believe it was on the way there that these three ladies got in an argument over seats. It was pretty intense. I've learned that I do not want to ever be in between to fighting Spanish Women. That being said, the country side in Spain is beautiful. There are a lot of things you will see there but the two things you will see the most of are BIG Bulls and Windmills. Here are some pics.

These are Bilboard size Bull cut outs. The Bull is very important in Spanish Culture.

Any ways, We got back into Sevilla and I had the worst blisters ever on my feet because I'd been doing nothing but walking for the last 9 days. So we get back to My Friend Dave's host home and try to find my Hotel.. Hoteles-Silken . Its a pretty swanky place. I wanted to end my trip well so I stayed here. At this point, I want to stop and just say thank you to my friend Dave. It was great to go and visit him and I know that it probably wasn't the most easy thing for him to have to translate everything for me in this whole process. I greatly appreciate him and his friendship. 

Without further adieu... Here are the pictures I took while I was in Sevilla. The ones from the Cathedral will be in another post because I just can't fit them all here. First up: The Plaza de España It's a truly beautiful place that has served various functions over the last +/-100 years or so.  

You may have seen this building in Starwars....

Random Building on the way to the Plaza.

 It was a great place to just walk and relax... and for some Spanish couples... get yo Mack on...

These next pictures are from just random places... Some I'll try to explain...

This is one angle on the Cathedral... You'll see more of that in the next post though.

This is a place called the Alcazar.

The Barber Of Seville

The Cathedral in the distance... So Pretty.

 One thing that you can not help but notice is the amazing smell of Oranges! It was smelled so good. Another thing was the awesome trees. ... but I mean, I love trees anyway.

Thinking Man.

I really wanted to just take a tree home with me but getting that through customs... ehh.

Don Juan

 These next ones are from the Bull Fighting Arena. Such an Epic Place. 

The Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza

Scaled model. Pretty cool.

The Original Boy Band.

I don't even know... 

"So what are you doing this weekend?"

Pimp Suit.

The Horse Stables

I'm going to end here but believe me... it's not the end. The next post will contain our Adventure to and up the Cathedral of Sevilla. Such and amazing place.

Thanks for Reading. :)

Viva España

Well, My adventure to Spain began with an epic flight to Seville. What was so epic about it you say??? To me, the cloud formations and the reflection of sun on them is one of the most beautiful creations of God. I've always admired this amazing interactions from the ground but being in a plane makes all the difference. I'll share some with you....

There was a plane right beside us at one point which was pretty cool...

 
This is was i saw when I got to the Airport in Seville.... So beautiful.

At this point in my travels I met up with my best bud David Bell. Good to see my old friend. :)  I stayed the first night in Seville in a random hostel in the middle of the city. We left the next morning for Tarifa which is the southern most tip of Spain/Europe. It's just 14km from border of Morocco, Africa... so we went there the following day.

These are pictures of the place we stayed "Hurricane Hotel". It was amazing place to stay but literally out in the middle of no where. We had to take a Taxi into the village of Tarifa any time we wanted to get anything or get to anywhere else.... got pretty expensive.

We took the first day to venture out and see what the beach had to offer... really beautiful place. The Sunset that night was probably the best or at least second most beautiful sunset I've ever seen...

Remains of a World War II gun cage. Pretty cool. 

 

I'll make this one a short one and begin the next post with our trip across the Straight of Gibraltar on the way to Tangier, Morocco.
