Seville, Spain


Listen Later

Seville, Spain - A city that began Roman, then Moorish Muslim and finally Christian. It might be the best region of Spain to find the oldest and well preserved customs, food, culture and, of course, Easter traditions that were slightly jarring (at first) to us Americans. 

In this episode, we talk about the month we spent in Seville with our three year old daughter who loved chasing the pigeons in all the pedestrian-only squares and alleys. We'll check out a church-themed bar, the origins of the 90s hit 'Macarena' and those infamous Semana Santa robes. We'll walk you through the incredibly beautiful and culturally significant landmarks like the Alcazar (shout-out Game of Thrones), Plaza de Espana, the charming Jewish Quarter, Metropol Parasol (aka the mushrooms) and the Seville Cathedral (which may or may not house the remains of Christopher Columbus). We'll also give our best suggested day trips including a bike trip to the Roman city of Italica, Setenil de las Bodegas and the city of Cordoba. So grab a cold bowl of gazpacho, a vermouth on the rocks and let's visit the gem of Andalusia - Seville, Spain.

¡Salud!
