It's the first week of classes at the University of Seville, but as the professors seem in no hurry whatsoever to begin the academic year we thought we'd take the opportunity to do some "Cultural Activities". Even when you're somewhere for a while it's easy to miss out on sightseeing due to procrastination, and there's no point in saying "We have a whole year" because before you know it the year will be up and you won't have seen half of what there is to see! I thought it'd be nice to show you all some of what there is to do in Seville. We'll begin with the big one: The Cathedral.
La Catedral de Sevilla is one big ass cathedral, biggest Gothic one in the world according to The Guinness Book of Records. It's about six hundred years old, it was originally a mosque and became a christian place of worship during that thing where Spain and Islam got a bit ticked off at one another. There are many pretty things to look at inside, and also Christopher Columbus is buried there which is pretty cool. But hey, I'm not some sort of cathedral expert and I was too cheap to get the audio guide, so do what I did and Wikipedia it. Here are some pictures though :)

You can also climb the 104m tall Giralda (the bell tower, which was originally a minaret.. awkward) and have a look out over Sevilla. As you can see, it was cloudy today. It takes a good few minutes to climb up... I'd recommend wearing comfy shoes. All in all €3 (for students) well spent. Obviously there's a lot more to the Cathedral than what I've shown you but wasn't this a fun overview?  |
