Cabopino --> Seville
Seville is about a 2 hour drive inland from where we were staying at Cabopino. Geraldine had booked us in for walking tour that started at 9:30am, thus we had quite an early start. We made good time on the freeway, checked into our hostel and even managed to pick up an extra (Aoife, a lovely Irish girl who was staying in our hostel), all before 9:30am.The walking tour was very good. Our guide was actually English, but had been living in Seville for something like 10 years. It was one of those tours that you walk away from going "Wow, I really didn't pay attention in class".
Apparently Seville is where Christopher Columbus left from when he went off and discovered America. And for many years after Seville was Europe's gateway to America. Which made Spain very rich, but enough of the history lesson.We ended up having a bunch of beers with our guide after the tour was done. Then as the heat kicked in, went back to our hostel for a siesta. At 6pm we all resurfaced and headed out for some tapas.
We had a few recommendations from our tour guide, but they were sadly all closed, so we just picked a place at random. It was a good meal, but not as good as the tapas in Marbella.After a few drinks in fancy river side bar we called it a night. Our stay in Seville was short and sweet, but with the temperature getting up around 40 degrees, we were all keen to head back to the coast.
