Sevilla and Granada take two..

After my amazing weekend in Barcelona, my dad and I headed to Sevilla for two days and are currently in Granada for two days. I have already been to both Sevilla and Granada but my dad really wanted to see both cities so I compromised ;) It is amazing how much a little sunshine and blooming orange trees can change a girl's mind about a city...Sevilla was so much fun the first time I visited but has easily become my favorite city in Spain. The weather was absolutely incredible! My dad and I visited the Plaza de Espana, the Cathedral, and the Park Maria Luisa. I was glad that I was able to take my dad to all of those places, he fell in love as well! We spent our mornings sight seeing and our afternoons strolling the cobble stone streets, along the river, and enjoying good food and wine.

Yesterday we arrived in Granada. We checked into our hotel and then I showed my dad a few of the spots I remembered from my first visit. Unfortunately we didn't make reservations to the Alhambra but we were able to get tickets to the Gardens. My dad really didn't miss out on seeing anything by not getting the full tour. The only thing we couldn't do was enter the main palaces. The gardens were beautiful and I think my dad was fully satisfied. After visting the Alhambra I took my dad to the opposite side of the city so we could look at a full view of the Palace. We found ourselves inside a tradition Spanish bar where my dad tried the blood sausage...I couldn't do it. My spring break has been incredible so far and it's only going to get better. We are headed back in the morning to Alicante for a day and a half and then it's off to Italy to visit my brother and his family for a week. I already miss Sevilla, I can still smell the sweet orange blossoms...
