| Stop #2: Sevilla |
From Lisbon we went directly to Sevilla. We slept in a building built in a typical Moorish style. Quite a cute, cheap hostel. It was cool, except that the toilette was directly in the room, divided only by a plastic wall that did not reach up to the ceiling and thus your pals could hear and enjoy all your "activities" there.
So what is in Sevilla to see? The most searched places are
Torre del Oro at the riverside, the
Sevilla's cathedral, which is the biggest gothic cathedral in the world, the gardens of
Alcázar palace complex and the grave of Christoph Columbus. But the thing, due to which Sevilla was special for me, was the
Metropol Parasol structure. It takes courage to place tens of meters high wooden mushrooms in one of the squares of the old city. But the result is very interesting and the complex fits in well. You can have a stroll on top of the mushrooms and there is one beer included in the price of the ticket. :)
Oh, did I mention that I found a mini-version of the European rocket
Ariane 4 there? It has been there since the
Expo '92 in Sevilla. The main topic of the exposition was "Time of the discoveries", because it took place at the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Americas.

Too bad we had only one evening for this city. It has a space rocket goddammit!
