After a five hour layover in Girona, a tiny airport nearly 2 hours from Barcelona, we finally arrived in Sevilla around 10pm. Fortunately for us, that is dinner time in Spain, so we were able to make the most of our first night, heading out to enjoy the views of the cathedral, tapas, and of course, sangria.
We walked along Rio Guadalquivir, the second longest river in Spain and the longest in Andalusia, enjoying the views of the first of many monuments to Christopher Columbus that we would see here.
We spent our last day here simply wandering, exploring the hidden plazas and beautiful scenery. We meandered through the Jewish quarter, finding our way to the Murillo Gardens, enjoying the scent of jasmine that climbed over the Alcazar walls to surround us with its distinctive fragrance.
After two very long plane trips, we were glad the next leg of our journey would be taking place in a car. Of course, we when booked a rental car to drive from Sevilla to La Linea de Concepcion, the Spanish gateway to British Gibraltar, we forgot that all cars in Europe are manual transmission. Fortunately, Danny is a quick study and after a short lesson, he was able to drive through the Spanish countryside to our next destination.
