My mom and dad officially arrived in Sevilla! And as I'm writing this after their visit, I can honestly say that we couldn't have asked for a more perfect 10 days. After an unseasonably rainy winter, the weather was finally beautiful, and you could smell the orange blossoms (azahar, as they call it here) everywhere. We did so many things, I don't even know where to begin! We walked a lot, watched the many street performers, ate lots of yummy food, drank lots of Spanish wine, and stopped for ice cream more than once or twice. Our favorite little cafe was called 'La Cava', near Barrio Santa Cruz. They had an eclectic variety of tapas, and a really great Rueda wine by the glass. We went to mass at the Cathedral, walked along the river, visited the farmers market in Triana, bought some traditional tile work in the old Jewish neighborhood...and we even attempted to ride bikes around the city, which proved to be more difficult that we thought with all the people and festivities! More about our adventures to come!
First tinto, beer, and olives in Spain - a proper welcoming.
Mom and Dad in Puerta de Jerez.
Walking along the Guadalquivir River.
Having a frosty brew at the Cerveceria Internacional - one of my favorite spots!
