Over the first two weekends in May, I visited Barcelona and Sevilla with friends. In Barcelona, we visited the Sagrada Familia and other Gaudí landmarks, walked through La Boquería market, and spent a day at the beach. I traveled with Sam and Gillian, and we met up with one of Gillian's friends from home there. It was a really fun weekend and such a cool city to walk through!

The next weekend, Sam and I took the high-speed Ave train from Madrid to Sevilla. One of my best Ramah friends, Josh, has been studying in Sevilla all semester so he showed us around and hung out all weekend. So fun to have a weekend reunion with him in Spain! Sevilla is so charming and pretty, and waaay smaller than Madrid. It definitely has a different feel but I liked it a lot. Over the weekend we saw the main landmarks: the Alcázar, which is sort of like a smaller Alhambra, and the Catedral de Sevilla, one of the largest cathedrals in the world. We also walked around Plaza España and by the river. We had a really fun weekend even though it was HOT out - like low 90s every day. Woah. Oh and the last day there we saw a bullfight! It was cool to go and partake in such a Spanishy tradition but the actual bullfight was gross.
