We’ve been in Sevilla for three days now, and almost all of our students say that it’s their favorite stop on the trip! We’ve been having lots of fun exploring the city and learning about its rich history. In the past two days, we’ve had scavenger hunts, historical tours of the city, and visited a water park. We’re making ourselves right at home and having an awesome time!
We started our historic tour of the city at the Cathedral of Sevilla.We then moved to the Royal Alcazar, a Muslim fortress converted into a Catholic palace. This photo features the dome of the building, plated with gold.We got to see the gardens of the Alcazar, which were one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones.Enjoying the beautiful weather and the gorgeous gardens!For lunch, we had home-made paella, one of the most famous dishes in Spain. It consists of rice, vegetables, chicken, and seafood.After lunch, we had a mini-seminar on Spanish culture and festivals.We learned to dance Sevillanas, a kind of flamenco dancing.Coordinating the arms with the legs was definitely the hardest part.This morning, we enjoyed a breakfast of churros and hot chocolate.Later, we had a scavenger hunt. One of the first stops was taking a picture with your favorite food in the Marketplace of Triana.The boys’ group won today, finishing in first place and having the answers to every question correct.Everyone learned a lot about the layout of the city and how to get around!We finished our day at the water park. It was one student’s birthday today, so we celebrated with delicious pastries from a local bakery!
