The MetroPol Parasol is a brand new addition to Sevilla, inaugurated only a few weeks before we arrived. This beautiful piece of modern architecture is something that will become a landmark for Seville in its own time. Also, when we visited, it was being used for protests against the government!
This picture was taken from the top of the Giralda. The view from the top is amazing and from the side that I took this, you can see the Plaza de Toros. I never actually got to visit the plaza myself, but it looks impressive even from this distance. Hopefully when I return to Seville I will be able to visit.
This is the day we went wine tasting at the culinary school in Sevilla. We tasted three different types of "vinos tintos" and ate lunch there as well. The wines were spectacular, some of the best I have ever tasted...and I have tasted a lot of wine!
On this day, we went to the Italica which is an ancient Roman Ruin. It is so mystifying here and quiet (besides the screaming FIU students, of course!). I was missing my roommates this day though...
This was by far one of my favorite places in Sevilla! The Plaza de España was such a great last minute thing to see. Not only was it beautiful and rich with history, part of Star Wars was filmed here!
This is from Bar Zafiro on the corner where the hotel is located. In the picture is my meal of "Rabo de Toro" and a glass of "vino tinto". I frequented this cafe quite often seeing as it was only a minute's walk away. This dish ended up being spectacular; between the potatoes and the meat, it was heaven on my taste buds. And of course, the wine was good as always!
These are pretty much my most memorable days in Sevilla. There were so many other pictures but these were the ones that made me feel like I was really living the dream I had sought for so long.
