Spain- Volume 3

We stopped at the next not-to-miss town -Sevilla. Definitely one of the most popular towns in Spain to visit. This pic was taken at the old cigarette factory. Spain was a huge exporter of cigarettes back in the day. This was the nicest factory I have ever seen. These people were rolling cigs in style!






Here's the front entrance of the cig factory.











Inside the courtyard of the factory. This man has some huge endorsements for Cigarettes all around the world. We'll call him Marlboro Man. :)






Next we stopped by the Plaza of Spain.One of the most spectacular buildings I have ever seen. It was shaped in a semi-circle with a gorgeous fountain and tile work and carvings to make one stare. This building has been used for administrative offices for the city today and in the past.





There were these huge tile tapestries all around op different cities throughout Spain. I think this one depicted the city of Cadiz.













Mr. Matador and his hot sexy flamenco dancing, booty shaking senorita. Yes, we paid two euro along with every other tourist to get this pic taken. Don't you love this hat on J? HOT!!!




One of the most famous cahtedrals in all of Spain. Very beautiful but closed for the day.












Again, the cathedral.







A tower in Sevilla. Don't know anyting more than that. The tourist map said we should see it. :) Check.






One of the oldest bull rings in Spain. It looked like it had been painted only about 100 times.











The canal that divides the city.







Another night of scouring the city for a hostal. Again it took hours. This was definitely the dumpiest one. Called "Pension La Gloria" we had to share a bathroom with an entire floor (yuk!-we were desperate!) and I am not sure but I think the bed had exactly 264 springs in it. I felt every one. The best part were again the beautiful romantic balcony doors that opened up to the city where an accordion player serenaded us (or more than likely the people at the restaurant below) until about 1 am. Billy took this from his balcony.









The nest morning enjoying the balcony.











The top the the hostal we stayed at had a patio/terrace where we captured a quick pic of the surroundings houses and buildings.
