Goodbye Sevilla.

Sevilla is beautiful, big, and busy, and in all honesty you could spend a month exploring and still not see anything. Unfortunately it was our final few hours in the city - so we decided to enjoy it and experience what we could without rushing.




We dawdled through yet more alleyways, following the enticing scent of fresh food into a tiny little courtyard lined with three restaurants and a sweet little shop selling flamenco fans. 




We dived into a bowl of cool, homemade gazpacho under the shade of the courtyard trees, and welcomed the evening, which brought with it a gentle breeze. 

Then we made our way back to the hotel for a final dip in the rooftop pool and a sneak at that beautiful view of the city. 





The next morning we arose early, backpacks on and ready to catch our next train, but not before heading across to Triana, and it's infamous market.


Triana is located just across the bridge from Sevilla, and despite technically being part of the city, it is completely different with a whole new culture.


The indoor market, which is located just as you cross the main bridge, is full of fresh produce, ranging from fruit and vegetables, to meat, and even to the most delicate of pastries. 





We grabbed some of the most gorgeous fresh fruits for the train, and sadly had to say goodbye, zigzagging our way through the narrow cobbled streets, past beautiful, tiny chapels full of Easter gold, towards the train station.




And with that we said goodbye to Seville, and hello Cordoba.
