Hotel Relaxation and Seville's Architectural Wonders
Hotel Pool and Relaxation Time
After settling into our surprisingly spacious room, the first thing I wanted to do was check out the hotel pool. The vlog promised a refreshing dip, and after a long train journey from Cádiz, a swim sounded heavenly. Down the stairs we went, anticipation building with each step.
The pool itself wasn't enormous, but it was perfectly adequate for a relaxing afternoon. It wasn’t the kind of luxurious, resort-style pool you might find at a five-star hotel, but it was clean, well-maintained, and exactly what I needed after a day of travel. The sun was warm, and it was the perfect way to unwind before heading back into the bustling city center.
Later, after a refreshing swim and a quick shower, we took a moment to freshen up in the room. It felt amazing to relax a bit before our evening plans. That well-deserved rest made all the difference in our readiness to head off to a tapas restaurant for dinner.
Exploring Seville Cathedral and City Views
The Seville Cathedral truly took my breath away. From the outside, its sheer scale is impressive, but stepping inside is an entirely different experience. The grandeur of the architecture, the intricate details, the sheer height of the ceilings – it's overwhelming in the best possible way. I spent ages just wandering around, taking it all in.
Later, we ascended the Giralda, the bell tower. The climb was worth it for the panoramic vista of the city. Seville sprawled beneath us, a tapestry of terracotta rooftops, narrow streets, and the Guadalquivir River winding its way through it all. It was a stunning view, a perfect way to cap off our exploration of this magnificent cathedral.
Afterwards, we stumbled upon a rooftop bar – a charming little place with a breathtaking view of the city (though the 12 euros for two colas was a bit of a shock!). The drinks were pricey, but the ambiance and the view were pretty spectacular, giving us a different perspective on the beautiful cityscape.
