Day 2 - Can I eat the oranges?

My first favorite thing about Sevilla was the orange trees. EVERYWHERE. And full of delicious-looking, brightly-colored oranges.

After having survived our night in the "hanger" hostal, things were looking up. The sun was out, we saw a rooster just walking around, and found a new hostal about 50m from the old one. We proceeded to have a fantastic time in this city that is far more befitted to sun than rain. Palm trees were everywhere, we had to watch our step so as not to step on the freshly-fallen oranges, the sun was bright, the air cool, and the buildings pretty and unlike anything I'd ever seen. We saw a proper castle, drank cafe con leche and ate seafood tapas, and I thought that was pretty fantastic.


The "proper castle", actually the cathedral in Sevilla! And a few of those delicous-looking oranges.


A little of that incredible architecture, not to mention fashionable colors!

Later on we tried the oranges, fresh from the tree. They were awful.
