After completing our journey in Granada, Andy and I continued our week long VW polo driving adventures east towards the City of Sevilla.Sevilla city is known for their arts, culture, and also known to be southern Spain's biggest financial district. Some of the famous landmarks includes the Sevillian bull fight ring, the world's largest gothic cathedrael and the Plaza de Espana which was used in the first three Star Wars movies.
The cathedral was built from 1401–1519 after the conquess of the former city's mosque. It is the largest of all medieval and Gothic cathedrals, in both area and volume. The interior is the longest hallwaz in Spain, it is lavishly decorated, with a large quantity of gold evident. The Cathedral itself reused some columns and structures from the older mosque, and most famously the Giralda, originally a minaret, was converted into a bell tower. It is topped with a statue, known locally as La Giraldilla, representing Faith. The Giralda is the city's most famous symbol.
Sevilla city is also known for their invention of Tapas food which contains more than a thousand bars where the choices, is virtually unlimited, from seafood to ham and sausage and from vegetable to cheese. The Sevillians actually make a meal of them, moving from one bar to another and trying one dish at a time.
Finally the last biggest thing we did was exploring the Flamenco dance which was known in various bars throughout the city. Unfortunitely, we went to a dance which was tooo touristy as the bar itself was too loud to hear the performance and to enjoy the real richness of the spanish dance.
