Campervan Adventures in Spain & Portugal: Seville & Portugal

Day 7 in Spain saw us up early to drive into Seville and spy. I knew it would be hot this day so I thought we would just spend a little bit of time here and then head on for a relaxing day at camp, but we really didn't get to camp till almost dinner time! I really enjoyed wandering around here!


We were super lucky and found a parking spot right next to our first stop - Parque de María Luisa

This park was so nice to wander around! There were all the clay sculptures

And lot of waterfountains







And all the plants and birds! 








At the end of the park (from our direction) was Plaza de España which was gorgeous!

I'll be honest - I have never been a ceramic tile fan, but after seeing this place in Seville I was won over. It was beautiful!








There were all of these ceramic benches along the bottom with different places in Spain & Portugal highlighted




So much fun to wander through! We spent so much time in this park as we loved it!

Then wandered to the Cathedral and farther around town










Until we got to Setas de Sevilla - the farthest sight to see




We had stopped and gotten some chorizo red bell pepper empanadas from Empanadas Malvón for lunch along the way - they were really good

And a carrot cake cronut from Chök which...no. I do not understand this. I would much rather have a donut or a croissant and not something that is neither and way worse! The carrot cake was good


After lunch it was more wandering back towards the car


Along the river



Seville was so nice and definitely on the go back to list when it is not so hot! It was 30C by the time we left which is too much, but all the restaurants had these giant swamp coolers and things that misted you the entire time to try and help keep you cool. 

Afterwards we headed on to camp (Camping Olhao) which was a place across the border in Portugal! It had a nice swimming pool so we had a swim! We saw this on one of the other campers and I thought it was silly. We did see some flying flamingos while swimming which was so much fun!! Tomorrow more Portugal adventures!

13.91km walked/7 flights (Seville is also very flat!)
