Unfortunately, we then had to go through a security check at the station. We hadn't planned for this time.

In Madrid, we found ourselves in a Blabla-car with a leading German diplomat and a Spanish soldier. The diplomat could speak many languages, while the soldier only spoke Spanish, which limited our conversations.
In the car, we realized that our ferry would be departing a day later due to a storm, which means we will now be staying in Seville for an additional day.
To cap off the evening, after a free dinner at the hostel, we found a billiards bar and spent the evening there with 2 beers. After having to play and win against many men, we ended the night by observing a woman defeat two very self-assured men, and decided that it was a great time to go to sleep.
