Walking and sightseeing in Seville

Our apartment in the Triana neighborhood was perfectly located for us to explore on foot...

First things first: Seville fascinated us as a city! Walking through the streets, we saw so many beautiful corners, houses, impressive buildings, and parks. A truly amazing city. The many tourists also come for this reason ;-) not only cars, but even a cruise ship docked at the river port!

We limited our indoor visits to the Royal Alcazar (a very impressive royal palace). Our boys (and consequently us adults) can't handle too many of them. For the boys' enjoyment, there was a labyrinth in the palace's park and we played hide-and-seek in a corner of the park.
Otherwise, we adjusted our destinations and split up several times according to our interests. This way, we always had something to share with each other.

We only needed our small kitchen in Seville to cut fruit. Otherwise, we always ate out.
So we would leisurely start the day after getting up and find a little restaurant for breakfast. In Spain, this usually means just a toasted bun drizzled (or soaked) with olive oil and chopped tomatoes on top.
For the many tourists (and now also locals), the offer has become a bit wider: a toasted bun with cheese or meat or scrambled eggs with toast. There are also sweet options, but that is definitely for the tourists' benefit on the menu. This is accompanied by fresh orange juice, coffee, or ColaCao (chocolate powder for hot milk is called that).
Some restaurants also offer brunch. On Monday, we treated ourselves to one at a trendy little restaurant. Yummie!
For lunch and dinner, we tried different dishes from the menus: many dishes can be ordered as tapas-sized portions or as full portions. So we tried a lot and sometimes got more of something than we had expected. Meat and fish dominate. The sides (sometimes there are potatoes in some form) and vegetables somehow fall short. We haven't figured out how that works yet (except for salads of course)...

But we have definitely adjusted our daily routine: not getting up before 8.30 am, which means breakfast around 9.30 am, lunch around 2.30 pm, but it has also been 3.30 pm and then we were startled several times that it was already past 8 pm and we hadn't even thought about food yet ;-)
