Now we’re on a train headed to Madrid. We should arrive around Noon local time, which will give us the afternoon and evening to explore the city a bit before we fly home tomorrow. #travel #Spain
In the afternoon we visited the Alcazar, a palace built by (Christian) King Pedro in the Moorish style, which has been used by Spanish royalty ever since. In fact, the Alcazar is still used as a residence by the current King and Queen of Spain when they are in Sevilla. #travel #Spain #Sevilla
Incidentally, if you ever find yourself in Sevilla and looking for a good meal, I highly recommend the Sevilla Tapas website. We used it several times during our trip, and we had excellent meals each time. It’s the best version of the old school Web: a hyper-focused personal passion project with no ads or subscriptions. The website breaks down restaurants by neighborhood/barrio, so if you vaguely know where you are, you can look up options. #travel #Spain #Sevilla #food
After an arduous morning touring the cathedral, Heather and I stopped at nearby a nearby restaurant for a lunch of paella and the local cocktail called a “Tinto Verano”. Nearest I can figure, the Tinto Verano is a mix of fruity red wine, lemonade, and club soda, all poured over ice and an orange slice. It’s nice and refreshing on a hot day. #travel #Spain #Sevilla #food #wine
