Seville

This post, I will give details about Seville, Spain. Maybe this can be somewhat of a pro-con list for me to decide!
Seville has a lot to offer. It is in Southern Spain. The climate of Seville is very warm during summer and sometimes it may snow or not in the winter. There are beautiful sites to see in Seville. Bullfighting is one also known as "running with the bulls." Also, the flamenco (a style of dance) is known here. This is a beautiful presentation. The women dress in colorful dresses, with ruffles at the bottom. They also dance with different instruments. The boys normally dress in tuxedos. It is a combination of ballet and contemporary dance. There are three different forms, dance, song, and guitar. Seville is also home to the largest medieval Gothic cathedral.
Seville is known for their other architecture as well. Seville also has many museums and sites to see. There are beautiful parks that are full of luscious nature. Also, Seville holds one of the most popular plazas in Spain; Plaza de Espana. Seville also celebrates Holy Week or Semana Santa. It is a festival that celebrates Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus. The university that we would attend is called Menendez Pelayo Internacional University. It has a student population of 5,000. It is a very intimate college where one-on-one with the professors is very important. Seville is a smaller city, but has a lot to do also at night. Most people do not even start going out until about midnight. The drink of Spain is known as a Sangria. In order to tour the city, buses, taxis, as well as subways are all available.

Overall, Seville is a great city. Click here for more information about Seville. It has so many options and we would be staying right on campus in a dorm-type room. It is going to be a hard decision to make. Next time, you'll find out about Salamanca!

  1. OMG I am so excited for you both to be going to Spain. My hubby and I would love to do that but can not leave our animal for that length of time. So I just sit and listen to others and be jealous but glad for them at the same time. Enjoy yourself.
