24 Hours in Seville



Seville is not the place where one goes to relax. It's loud and vibrant... and also very hot - going there in the Summer would be suicidal!
Andalucía's biggest city is a tourist-pleaser - flamenco echoing through the streets, ravishing architecture (Moorish, Baroque, Gothic, Roman... you name it!), narrow streets, medieval alleys, cosy tapas bars and cheerful people embracing the true Andalucian lifestyle. 
24 hours were enough for me and my friend Daniela, who drove the car, to experience and absorb Seville's spirit. I tend to avoid crowds but this time was hard not to bump into entire families speaking loudly in every corner. I am glad I have finally visited a place that I consider unmissable but honestly, I couldn't stay there for more than a weekend.

  3. Epá, a última vez que pus os cotos em Sevilha - sitio onde ia todos os anos com o meu pai - tinha uns 11 anitos. E o mais extraordinário é que ao ver estas fotos, tudo me foi tão familiar que foi como se lá tivesse ido ontem. Juro que a loja de doces é a mesma onde a minha irmã gastou a mesada dela há 30 anos atrás!!!

  5. Seville looks absolutely beautiful! The architecture is stunning and I love the look of all the little details and quirks. I especially love the river with the bridge bordered in yellow and blue. Such fantastic photographs.

  6. when i thought about going on vacation and before portugal came into my mind i wanted to go to seville. the description you made of it comfort myself in the idea of not going there, or at least not for a week.

  7. Ao ver as fotos parecem de uma semana, vocês devem mesmo ter corrido imensa coisa :D Nunca tinha pensado bem no potencial da cidade até agora; se as fotos não chegassem, a parte sobre a arquitectura chegava! E esses pátios nos últimos andares, quem dera <3 Era precisamente dum sítio desses que precisava de ir com os amigos ^^
    E tu, estás super festiva :D

  11. Amazing photos! Seville seems like an amazing place to take photos of but I will take you advice and if I ever do happen to go there it would be at a time when it's not so hot :)
