Sevilla, or how bad i am with any kind of transport

Sooo, i am in Sevilla now! As you remember my previous stop was in Valencia, that is quite far from Andalucia, but to cross all this space i used Ryanair forthe first time in my life. I think using thi company for he first ime is like loosing virginity: flights will never be the same for you :) kidding, actually everything was pretty good, as i idnt sleep the night before i slept all the time in he plane so i dont remember a thing :)
So, finally i landed in Sevilla.  i was really excitedabout Andalucia, you know people say that Andalucia s actually a real Spain, so i planed to stay here about two weeks, to enjoy this real Spain with flamenco, corrida, wine, ocean, heat, and tapas. The firt disappointment - it wasnt hot here, just +32, nothing like i expected. Second: there are no free tapas in Sevilla, and in majority of Andaluia :( But come on, im here notonly because of food (right?).
Sevilla! This is a wonderful place: quite calm, but no ttoo much there re a lot of tourist, but hey dont annoy you, there is a lot of history, bu the city center is so small that ou dont need to be in a rush. Perfect place! In Sevilla as always i used CS, and m host was wonderful, he gave me a bike, maked good places to eat, and cooked lunch :) i have to sop on the bike: ive never used bike in a city before, so for m it was really interesting but hard  the same time. But actually i was ong pretty good ntill one night, when i decided that. Was skilled enough to ride a bike in the street without lights :) now me poor knee reminds me how wrong i was :)
But letstalk about Sevilla! City is just wonderful! It is very old, very beautiful, you can find any attraction you need: visiting old Cathedral, gettng lost in Alkazar's gardens, watching corrida, going out, dancing flamenco - everything that Andalucia s famous for! As i had 4 days there i could see and visit everything, what id done :)
But there is Still something missing about Sevilla ... Ah, right, food! Ooooh, that is so good! Ven there are no free tapas, but here are tapas, and i must say tha i love tapas! Tipical tapas here are croquets of jamon and fish, small sandwiches with fish, pork cooked in some special souce that is called  whisky. There is very nice plase o try tham in santa cruz barrior that s called 'columnas', and on close to the cathedral that is called 'hijos ...(i dont remember)'. And also sweets! There is this torta de Sevilla that is made from almond flour or from aceite and that are just amazing, also there are chocolate glazed baked biscuites heart-shaped and small glazed candies, that you can ind almost everywhere, but for the first one i recomed pasteleria that is right in the begining of calle de constuticion, and for the others place that is called 'horno' that is just in front of the cathedral :)
Well, even i really enjoyed Sevilla i couldnt stay there longer than 5 days. While traveling i always have this feeling, that you can call needle in your ass, but this feeling doesnt let me to stay in one place too long and always drives me into some joureys. So, jus following this feeling, im going to another part of Andalucia - to Jerez, famous for its alcohol :)
