Since the start of this journey, there has been great food experiences and we lightly touched on the subject here and there. But Seville’s cuisine is a whole post on it’s own. The cuisine itself is amazing, but also their finesse, and ingredients to complete the plate. Spanish tapas varies in different cities/regions. The origin […]
We joined a free tour of the town across Seville called Triana. It’s home to Flamenco and famous bullfighters of Spain. It’s also originally a Gypsy settlement. According to our guide, Flamenco originated from Gypsy slaves sent to the mines longing for home and their loved ones. Sounds of Flamenco was born from banging the […]
During our first walk around the city, these fruit trees lined the streets of Seville. At first glance, we mistaken them for limes since it’s dark green. But they are Seville’s famous orange trees. Tens of thousands of them ripe every December/January and used for the finest orange marmalade. Britian’s favourite export from Seville. They […]

To reach the bells atop you’ll need to scale a series of switch backing ramps, a lot easier the climbing stairs. The story goes […]

A view with a drinks is always the way to go. 3€ gives you lift access and includes a beer or glass of wine. We recommend you go in the evening to watch the sun go down and see a 360 view of Seville. Around and underneath the structure there are many bars & restaurants […]
The Palacio Real or Royal Palace is the largest and certainly one of the most impressive palaces in Europe. Locals young and old flock the parks around the palace grounds to hang with friends. The Plaza Mayor, a grand arcaded square in the center of Madrid. During the middle ages the site was just a market […]
During our pre-travel packing, the dilemma was whether or not to bring the Canon 70-200mm F4L IS lens. It’s a zoom/telephoto great for portraits and details images. The past month, the wide angels (17-40mm F4L & 24-70mm F4L IS) and prime (50mm F1.4) lens got more use given the landscapes and monuments that surrounds us. […]
