Sevilla

Just hours from taking a flight from Sevilla back to Barcelona for our last days in Spain before heading home. Sevilla was great.... our hotel was in the heart of the old town area. Cobble stone streets and walking distance to the cathedral, Giralda tower and town square. Lots of cute shops and restaurants. We have seen many signs and references to Sevilla being the city that smells of orange blossom and rosemary. However, we have yet to smell that. Instead we have fondly knicknamed the town square the corner of "Shit Street and Piss Place" for the many horse drawn carriages that ride around the city center. Are you getting an idea of the smell of Sevilla yet? Ha!! Well, other than that it has been fun! We saw an amazing authentic flamenco show last night.... we took lots of pics and video. They even had a male flamenco dancer.... woah!! LOL! Our plan today was to head to Gibraltar to finally see the monkeys Melissa has been waiting for. But today is a major holiday in Spain and we had no idea how difficult it would be to rent a car.... and there is no quick and easy was to get to Gibraltar from Sevilla by train or bus. :( We tried so hard to find a way... but we figured it was not meant to be. So the monkeys will have to wait until the next time we make our way back to Spain! Sorry Mel!! So we will be back in Barcelona tonight... and will write more when we get there. Hopefully we will be able to post pics from there!
