12/28/2024 Seville, Spain

Alleyway to the sea, Cadiz, Spain.

Greetings from beautiful Cadiz, Spain! The weather here continues to be spectacular! Highs in the mid 60’s but a little windy occasionally. Yes, it’s winter coat time in Spain!

Team C&K decided to take one last trip together as Kate is going on to Lisbon, Portugal, then home.

So off to Seville, Spain they go.

Portal at Plaza de Espana

I’ve been to Seville several times before so I stayed in Cadiz and the team took the train to Seville from Cadiz, it’s roughly a two hour trip.

Cindy’s talking now,

Plaza de Espana

Greetings from Seville, Spain! Katie and I had an uneventful train ride here and dropped her luggage off at her hotel. Off we went for one last tour together. Let’s go!

Plaza de Toros, the Bull fighting ring!
Pepe Luis Vazquez,, Spains most famous Matador!

Yes, Bull fighting is very much alive in Spain and a huge part of the Spanish lifestyle.

Ok, walking now.

Torre del Oro

Built as a military watchtower in the early 13th century and was also used as a prison during the Middle Ages.

Beautiful
Pano of Plaza de Espana.

Continuing our walk, we walked to the Plaza de Espana. This was built for the 1929 Worlds Fair and is a celebration of each region of Spain.

Cadiz
The plaza includes a canal that is covered by four bridges. This is very popular in the summertime as you can rent boats to use in the canal.
Popular horse drawn carriages, seen throughout the city.

Walking towards the city center. We can feel a 30,000 step day in our future…

Royal Alcazar of Seville
Giralda, the bell tower of the Seville Cathedral.
Cathedral of Seville, Christopher Columbus is buried here!
One of the entrances of the Cathedral
Barrio Santa Cruz

Barrio Santa Cruz was formerly the city’s famous Jewish Quarter of the medieval city. We enjoyed walking through the maze of narrow streets and admiring the beautiful architecture. The steps are piling up now!

Flamenco dancers, possibly getting ready for a Instagram shoot?

Seville is famous for its flamenco dancing and has a long history here.

Time for a light Spanish lunch!
Metropol Parasol

Okay, 33,000 steps later, that’s a rap. Now a walk back to the train station for Katie to see me off. We had to say our goodbyes as Katie will fly to Lisbon, and I’m headed back to Cadiz! Our time traveling with Katie has been so much fun and memorable!

Seville is a beautiful city, but wow, the crowds were massive. I’ve been here a few times, but this was even more crazy than before. Must be the holiday travelers. Now, back to Mike…

Cadiz Harbor

Wow, what a last trip by team C&K! 33,000 steps later, massive crowds, sorry I missed all of that😉

TGC and I are in Cadiz until Thursday when we move to Lagos, Portugal.

Strong chance I won’t blog again until then, so Adios and Happy New Year for now!

Happy New Year😎
