Sevilla

After working on the farm for two and a half weeks, I went back to Sevilla (before I left I stayed there for two nights). At first, the city made me feel very overwhelmed. After being in the middle of nowhere, enjoying nature and very secluded from civilization, this big city with tall buildings and small windey streets was a little much. It also was a shock to see my expenses in the city. At the farm, I didn´t spend a single penny (okay, I had another wwoofer buy me some chocolate so I spent €1, but that´s nothing for almost three weeks!) and in the city everything was obviously much more expensive. I quickly got over all this shock though after about the second day and ended up having a wonderful time in Sevilla!
The first night I was there, I went to a free flamenco show with the hostel. It was cool to see but there was a reason why it was free. It was super crowded and everyone was drinking and talking and being really rude towards the performers. I was slightly dissapointed, but ended up making up for it later on in the week with a really great flamenco show.
I met some amazing people from Uruguay, Argentina and Chile at my hostel. We all hung out quite a bit in Sevilla and ended up meeting again in Madrid the following week. The four of us went to the better flamenco show one night and then ended up meeting up with a couple people from the farm who were staying in Sevilla for the weekend. It was then when I finally realized how many great friends I´ve made while traveling!

 
















On my last full day in Sevilla, I did a day trip to Ronda. It was amazing! By far the best place I´ve been! It´s a town built on the tops of cliffs with a gorgeous bridge (Puente Nuevo). The day involved a lot of hiking up and down the cliffs but the view was well worth it.
