Hola amigos!

The heat is getting hard to stand but we still have our smiles! After class, we went to visit el Barrio de SantaCruz, a neighborhood of Seville, close to the school. It´s full of little squares, narrow streets and history. We even saw the balcony that inspired the Opera ¨The Barber of Seville¨.We won´t surprise anyone by saying that after that we went for ice cream..... We also went back to the book and music shop: la Fnac.

Hola!

After class, we met again in the afternoon at the school to learn how to dance Sevillanas. Everyone had fun with it. The teacher was very nice and fun. She joked a lot with the kids!

They did a great job dancing. Some were a little shy, since it´s a couple´s dance, but all enjoyed it!

Only 2 days left here! It´s getting really hot around here. July will be a daily oven for the Sevillan!

Hola!

After class, we went to visit the Alcazares de Sevilla. It´s a group of Palaces started by the Arabs in the XI century and finished by the Spanish King Pedro I in the XIV century. It is very big and beautiful. It is right in the center of the city and has a huge garden. We had a blast visiting it. We went in the room in which King Ferdinand and Queen Isabela received Christopher Columbus before sending him to discover the world! It´s amazing to know that you are standing at the exact same place at a different time. After that we went for a walk, had ice cream and went shopping for music. Great day again!

On Monday, we went back to class. The school didn´t have a specific activity for the afternoon so we decided to go back to the bullring but this time, we took the tour and went inside. It was very interesting. After that, we went for a walk in the little streets of the old part of the town. The kids got a lot of their gift shopping done. And guess what?...... We all had ice cream!

On Sunday, we took the train to Cordoba. It is very pretty and has great monuments. We all enjoyed the visits, the walks through the narrow streets and the multiple ice cream stands (Yes! We do like our ice cream around here!). By the end of the day we were a little tired. But we had a great time!
