Seville

BUDAPEST: Not their now. Obviously. But loved it when I was. Very strong Andalusian feel, complemented by the Moorish flavor. Lots of walking down streets and peaking into the courtyards of houses with beautiful mosaics, fountains and gardens. Drinking at bars on small squares. A lovely cathedral. The Real Alcazar is a stunning Moorish palace with some of the most amazing gardens. Did a tour of the Bullring. Got drunk on a bar that was floating on the river. Went to Pilate's House, a proper Moorish house. Stunning mosaics and gardens. Is there a theme here? Ate a lot of tapas and drank Cruzcampo. Walked through the Gypsies quarter where we tried to order two sandwiches. Instead we got a plate of meat (pork chops, pork fillet, chicken, ribs, etc. served on a bed of chips) for about twelve euros. Walked around in shorts. Checked out the city walls and the art gallery which includes stunning courtyards and paintings by Zubaran. Maybe we did more but what I remember best was walking around in a sunny daze knocked out by the stunning architecture.
