Seville - Day 1
Another challenging year in Manchester, United Kingdom has finished and M&M decided to go on city break to Seville. We are fascinated about Spain, its culture, tradition and language. Therefore we decided to again visit another region of that amazing country - Andalusia...
The streets of Seville are surrounded by the beautiful buildings which create the atmosphere and mirror the traditional Spanish architecture and culture.
Seville as the every traditional Spanish city has a mixture of styles heritage of the invaders: Arabs, Phoenicia and Carthage.
The bishop's house
Break for traditional tapas in the local tapas restaurant, which was so great that we came back there. Interesting was eating on the large steps decorated in all sort of ceramic figures.
Busy tapas counter with porg legs hanging above the customers. Spaniards are fast and loud when preparing the food and it is fascinating to watch them serving and getting around such small space.
The great invention of Spaniards who hang those linen across the buildings to protect people from the sun burnt.
Plaza Nueva - the main city square in front of the City Hall
This building reminds me of Wester Movies and Dramas such as "Doctor Queen"
The lovely square nearby the cathedral
Calle Mateos Gago (one of the lovely streets)
Giralda the bell tower of Seville Cathedral, which was builded by different conquerors, who added styles from their times baroc, renaissance, islamic.
