Two days after Christmas Dad, G, and I packed up our bags, said a sad goodbye to my brother’s family, and flew south to the Andalusian Region of Spain. One of the largest regions in Spain, Andalusia is located on the southernmost section of Spain and is famous for flamingo, bullfighting, olive groves, and tapas.
We flew into Seville, the capital of Andalusia. On our first night G and I went and saw a flamingo show.
It was really neat to watch the dancers and hear the flamingo music. I had never seen a flamingo show before and it was really fun see it for the first time.
This is the Seville Cathedral. Fun Fact: It is the largest gothic cathedral in the world and legend has it that the builders of the church stated that they wanted to build "a church so beautiful and so great that those who see it built will think we were mad."
Aren’t the carvings beautiful?
This is Christopher Columbus’ grave
I don’t really know why they had a mirror on the ground, but a lot of people were gathered around it, so we figured why not take our turn!
One major difference between the spanish cathedrals and the other european cathedrals: the GOLD. Every spanish cathedral we went into had tons of gold engravings. You really won’t find that anywhere else.
The cathedral had its very own orange grove.
This is part of the view of Seville from the church’s belltower. You can see the bullring in this photo.
I loved how white the buildings are!
Part of the cathedral’s treasury.
After seeing the cathedral we meadered the city a bit
My number one favorite thing about Seville: the orange trees. The streets are lined with orange trees. They are so beautiful and add just the right touch of exotic to the area!
There were motorcycles everywhere!

This is at the Plaza de Espa.
He’s such a stud :)
