Seville, Spain

Ever heard the saying "Seville = Love"? Because it does.

The hotel was tucked away in a little alley

That's the best way to describe it. I absolutely loved Seville and cannot say enough great things about it. Friday morning we woke up, had something to eat, stopped off in Tarifa for a "quick" souvenir pick up. Finally after what felt like forever, we found our shot glass and magnet, got some gas and we were off to Seville.

Seville, or Sevilla as the natives call it, was the city I was most excited to see. Rick Steves had a snapshot book of Seville, so I knew it had to be great! It did not disappoint! We took the scenic route following the coastal highway to get up to Seville and saw the beauty that is Southern Spain.

We stayed at the Pensión San Benito Abad, this was the most expensive hotel we stayed at. The hotel is located on a busy street, but tucked away down a pedestrian street. Our GPS found the hotel easily, but we had no where to park! We had to look for the the blue "P" signs to find parking. Luckily there was a parking garage right around the corner from the hotel. Unluckily, was that it charged 22 euros to park there for 24 hours. YIKES! I thought we were getting the hotel at a steal for 45 euros. We ended up paying 67 euros for this hotel.
