Reluctantly we had to say farewell to the lovely beaches and town that is Lagos, not to mention Portugal itself and bus back across the border, destination Seville.What a beautiful town Seville is with its cute alleys, beautifully green plazas, horse and cart taxis, gardens and of course its impressive cathedral - Catedral de Santa María de la Sede which is the largest gothic and fourth largest Christian church in the world. We wandered about taking it all in and having worked up an appetite we stopped off at a Lonely Planet recommendation which we enjoyed so thought we'd go for another of their recommendations for our dinner. It was time for Kelly and I to give Paella another go and Nico to have his first taste, just this time we would know not to have three courses beforehand! It certainly meant we were able to enjoy it far more but I'm still keen to try it out in at least one other area of Spain to see if there are big differences between them. Nico and I still didn't feel like we'd seen quite enough of the city so we thought an evening stroll enjoying gelato would be a good way to enjoy the city and that it was. There is something to be said for being able to wander aimlessly through a city with a sleeveless shirt on and be able to see the beautiful old buildings alight, accentuating their amazing gothic architecture all the more. The way the Spanish cities are alive at such a late hour completes the scene perfectly making for the kind of moment where you just stand and stare around you, letting out a big sigh thinking WOW, look at me, in this magical place that is Spain!
