SEVILLA

I would characterize Sevilla as the most romantic city on our tour of Spain and Portugal. The streets were so charming and quaint. In fact, many of the streets are called "kissing lanes" as the buildings were often so close together they were almost kissing. Sevilla was a great city to wander and just get lost in. The highlights were visiting the Cathedral and seeing Christopher Columbus' tomb as well as touring the Alcazar Royal palace and gardens with a guide. We had the best Tapas in Sevilla and my first taste of Churros on the trip.
