We had a drink at the Americano bar in the Alfonso. Very grand. Andreas and ShuShu joined us and we headed to La Sal. La Sal is not a typical tapas restaurant. It was later described as Tapas Fusion. A little overlay of Japanese with a deep fried seaweed tapas and other delicacies. The food was delicious. And we had two Spanish wines that were gorgeous. I am tracking my wines these days on Vivino, a great app that permits me to post to Twitter and Facebook. Dinner did not start until after 9 and it was 1 before we got to bed. After the long trip, we slept very well.
Nice breakfast (the kind of buffet that you would expect at a top place) and then we headed out into the day. This is definitely a walking town. Many small streets, some of which accomodate cars and some too small. Old cobblestones on streets, great old architecture blending rennaissance and Moorish. Lots of people on the streets, some of which we would call allys.
Tapas lunch today (Saturday) was at Las Teresas, a very old, legit Tapas place. Andrea was our guest along with Fabio Castaneda who is a local Google oriented Internet guy. Light lunch, trying local sherry, cheese, thinly sliced ham, fried small fish almost like mini calimari and another more like smelt. Tasty all around.
Walked around after lunch and saw many sights, including the Seville Cathedral, one of the several largest in the world. Interesting architecture with a massive tower build by the Moors, topped with a renaissance treatment. Also saw the nearbye Bishop's Mansion and a number of other sights. Fabio showed us some great places for cocktails, all of which I checked in on Foursquare for sharing and future use.
Tonight, looking for something different, we had some good pasta and a pizza at La Mafia se siente a la mesa. Good pasta, average pizza, good wine.
Back at hotel now and looking for another great night's sleep. Getting to like Seville a lot.
