Sevilla


Sevilla was a great town. We didnt get much time in there but there was so much to see. Theres so many impressive buildings to see in this place. Its very hot though. It felt like it was 30 during the night. Sevilla is a little bit inland so theres no sea breezes to cool things down. If you ever come to Sevilla make sure you spend a couple of days here. Theres lots to see and do. Spanish people love staying up late aswell so theres lots to do at night. Just watch out for the thieves!
You can see why people here eat so late and stay up so late though. The sun only fully goes down at 10pm so when its dark its already late. It just doesnt seem so late.

The photos are from the Plaza de Espana in Sevilla. It was built for the world fair about 80 years ago.

For a bit of trivia: If it looks familiar to you, you may also know it as Naboo. They used this place to film some scenes in Star Wars: Episode 2 - The Attack of the Clones. The bit where Anakin and Padme arrive in Naboo and walk over those bridges in the coart yard.

Is Sevilla the Spanish name for Seville? I'm thinking that it is, just not 100% sure.
