SEVILLE — Two weeks after the solemn Holy Week in Seville commences a grand celebration that brings Spaniards together for a week of festivities.
Friday morning my family, Marisa and I took a taxi to the train station. Next stop: Granada! The train ride was a little over two hours but very pleasant. There were two elderly couples sitting in front of us and they were having the best time chatting and pointing out the window during the entire ride. We saw flamingos in a little swamp area and cows in a green field from the window. About 20 minutes into the trip I started to journal and when I finished, we were there!
SEVILLE, SPAIN – As the capital of Andalucia and the fourth largest city in Spain, Seville is turning heads with an impressive public transportation system. Where you would expect a city crowded with cars and the incessant honking of horns, the quiet hum of buses and trams fills the air. The previous mayor of Seville, Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirin, made extensive changes to improve public transportation during his time in office. These changes included creating bicycle lanes, redirecting traffic to allow for expanded pedestrian zones in the historic area, completing the metro-line project and creating “El Tranvia,” the tramline that runs through La Avenida de la Constitucion. As a result, the people of Seville are able to walk safely through traffic-free streets of the historic area. While cars are no longer an issue, pedestrians are not the only ones lining the streets. Along with the expanded walkways, bike lanes were constructed for roller skaters, skateboarders and bicyclists. Fines discourage people from walking on these lanes.
After more than 24 hours of traveling across the world and into a different time zone, I am happy and overjoyed to announce that I am finally in Sevilla!!!! I spent my entire Monday/whenever-the-days-melted-together-and-became- Tuesday with Marisa, one of my very best friends, traveling partner and home stay mate, and Meghan, my new friend who I have come to adore! After we parted ways with Meghan and other CIEE people at the airport, Marisa and I made it to our beloved Rosario’s house/apartment just around 9pm! We hopped out of the taxi and saw her standing out on her balcony waving at us! She buzzed us up and before you knew it we were standing in our new “home!”
