Back From Seville
13 Answers
What a lovely city. The architecture, the people, the food........just wonderful. I’m so glad the we had a heatwave before we went as I’m not sure that I would have coped with the heat. I think I’ll go back at a cooler time of the year so that it’ll be easier to get around.
Daughter enjoyed practising her Spanish, with lots of compliments from the locals about how well she speaks it, so a great confidence boost for her.
Stansted was the usual arseache. That airport is an embarrassment.

Alcazar
Spent a lot of time in Santa Cruz (I’m staying there the next time I go)
A museum (wasn’t that great)
Torre Del Oro
Mooched along the river
We stayed about a mile and half away from the city and had a sizeable pool at the hotel, so we went sightseeing earlier in the day, and went back to flop around the pool.
Taxis are on strike, so everyone is walking everywhere.

Yep. In solidarity with Barcelona and Madrid taxis, apparently, something to do with Uber and the like.
Got a bit worried as we were hoping to get cab to the airport, fortunately, the hotel sorted out some transport (at great cost). Couldn’t afford to miss the flight, there’s only 1 a day into Stansted with Ryanair.

Don't tell me about the locals wanting to practise their English. When I used to take parties of schoolchildren to Normandy we would always vist the Bayeux Tapestry museum. I speak fluent French, but one year, a young lad on reception, hearing the kids chattering in English, decided to address me in English, even though I spoke to him in French. What a painful experience that was. He could barely string two words together. After 10 minutes I had to tell him that I couldn't understand a word he said, and that if he didn't start speaking French again we were off.
