To Seville, Spain

The Uber driver picks us up early so that we can catch our 7:20 am bus and start our Seville experience.  The bus heads east through Algarve to spots we have not yet visited.  We make stops at Faro, Faro Airport, Olhão, Travia, and Vila Real de Santo António.  Along the way we see a mixture of orange, lemon, and olive groves.

At the eastern edge of Algarve we take the bridge over the Guadiana river to arrive in Spain, stopping first in Ayamonte, a sister-city across the river from Vila Real de Santo António.  Large scale orchards of oranges dot the landscape.  Soon they give way to huge fincas of olives. After two additional stops we arrive in Seville a little before 1 pm (with the 1 hour time change), a four and one-half hour trip.

We walk 10 minutes to our apartment hotel, Zentra Plaza Armas.  It's a newer two bedroom duplex apartment for $90 a night. Nice!

We have a late lunch of tapas then start seeing Seville.  We walk past Teatro Lope de Vega on our way to Plaza de España.  The plaza was built in 1928 for an Exposition.  It is a huge semi-circle of beautiful buildings and in front is a moat where tourists row small boats.  There are small alcoves with tiled scenes representing the providences of Spain.

We walk briefly around Parque Maria Luisa, but we're tired.  We catch a taxi to take us to the Mercadona grocery store right by our hotel where we pick up a few provisions for snacks and breakfasts.​
