Weekend in Sevilla, Spain

Submitted by Stephanie Rodgers on the 2016 winter session program in Granada, Spain sponsored by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures…

This past weekend, I went to Sevilla with most of the group. We left Granada on Friday afternoon and were able to get to our hotel in Sevilla in time for dinner. For dinner, we went to a tapas place that was close to both my hotel and the hotel that the other students stayed at. The food and service were both very good and I believe everyone enjoyed the dinner.

On Saturday, we visited the Plaza de España and the Metropol Parasol. The Plaza de España was probably my favorite site so far and we had perfect weather for our tour. The view from the Mertropol Parasol was equally as breathtaking, allowing for a view of the entire city.

On Sunday, we were able to fit in a tour of the Alcazar – one of my other favorite sitess – as well as the Royal Bullring and the Cathedral. All of these places were beautiful and I would love to come back to see all of the gardens in the spring.
