I have not written for a few days now. The transport between Cordoba and my new campsite outside Sevilla was just that. Transport and housekeeping. Very good but eventless road and then to Carrefour for some supplies. Need those days as well.
Sevilla on the other hand was something completely different. At first I was actually hesitant whether to go there at all. It is a bit of a drive, but I figured having come this far I would probably only regret afterwards if I'd skipped it.
I'm very glad I didn't skip Sevilla!
Coming from visits of fairly small towns and villages, Sevilla is big. Not only by footprint, but also heigthwise. Wide boulevards and fairly long distances to walk. The size of it all makes that you don't see whichever place you are going to until you turn a corner and is already there. Weird.
Did a full day in town and wasn't back at the campsite until dark. Well worth every minute, although waiting for the non-showing bus back for an hour was a bit of a drag. Highly recommended place!
