We got into Sevillia Spain Feb 11 about 430pm. The airline made our 8 hour trip easy with 1.5 hours flying time. Better than the train and cheaper too! We took a bus into the city and then walked for about a half an hour and finally found the hotel.
Unreal!
Thats all I can say. The area here is as old as one can imagine!
Started around 700 BC and our hotel is in an area of 1100 to 1400 AD. I dont know how many Romans slept in my room but... Hahahah.
Its a real weird thing to see so much. Its overwhelming as a Canadian from Calgary to see things so old. People here just walk by it all everyday and live in the midst of all this history. To touch a wall or a pc of wood or a decorative block that is 500 or more years old is quite something. I stand there and wonder what the people looked like back in the day, what they wore and what they ate! some of what we have been eating is what they ate.
Our clothes have certainly changed and I will say for sure that style in dress means much more to Europeans than it does to us as North Americans.
Both men and women dress with certainty and style. Its quite something to people watch over here. Its always been one of my hobbies but here its awesome!
Feb 12th (Friday) is rainly and cold so we spent most the day at the hotel. +6 is freezing to us now so I guess we are getting climatized.
The walls are so close together on the streets that many of them in the area you can not drive on. Old people even drive scooters. Id like a Vespa myself! Some streets you can almost touch both walls! Cobble stone or brick streets. I wonder if they were laid by the Romans or.....
Im out of time so must run. Sorry for the delay in updates we will try to do more. This week we dont have wifi in our room just in the Lobby so its a bit harder. We are here for 7 more nites then back to Mallorca (Santa Ponsa).
Cheers!
