All the places I visited on the second and last day in this city before I move on to the next one.
We walked from one place to the other. Most of the landmarks are nearby each other. It is so nice walking around the city, there is so much to see, and the weather was perfect. The architecture of the buildings, the amazing gardens and monuments around the city are to gaze.
Most of the places I visit on this day take a long time to roam around and to get to know the story of each one.

Places to eat:
During the day I bought some snacks in the carts that are in the street corners, or small stores that I found around. I tried some local cookies, chips, ice cream, and other snacks.
Restaurante Mateos - We had breakfast at this location. Such a good, healthy breakfast. Service was great and it's a cute place.
Triana District
There are multiple places to eat in this area. I just remember that our taxi drops us by the Mariatrifulca and Ro&Ma Tapas restaurant, and from there we continue walking along Calle San Jacinto, but I don't remember where we end up having a light, quick dinner. It was late and we were exhausted after touring all day around Seville since early morning. I remember seeing many places to eat. I was on a phone call while in the taxi and our driver was mentioning a few places to eat. Here I own you some recommendations.
I have more pictures from walking around the city. Also, I went to some souvenir stores, there are so picturesque, and the people are so friendly. I love the vibe of Seville. Really, really cool and yes the Flamenco, the culture it's big in this city. Love it!!
