Sevilla was beautiful town...so quaint and full of culture...I loved it! We saw some amazing places there..the cathedral was huge! one of the biggest in the world, and the palace architecture was so intricate and beautiful, and the gardens were breathtaking! We got to enjoy some bits of culture...we went to a Flamenco show and saw some traditional dancing and stuff which was pretty cool....had some Chocolate and Churros (which are to die for!
