POST 2: BEST HOLIDAYS/CONCERT EVER

 

Hello everyone ! In today’s blog, I will share with you where and when I had my best holidays and why it was a very special trip.

Back in january 2019, I was living in France for my exchange year and in my winter vacation, I went with my host family to Sevilla, in Andalusia, a region of southern Spain. We were there for one week, and we stayed in a downtown hotel called Corregidor Boutique Hotel.

It was super fun for me, because I really enjoy visiting museums, cathedrals and palaces and other forms of architectural and patrimonial tourist attractions. Principaly, this region is marked by the sincretism between Arabian and Andalusian culture. It’s possible to notice this muslim legacy in music and culinary offer but above all, the andalusian arabic architecture is what attracts the most attention, with the very well maintained mosques, temples and palaces.

These constructions resulting from the time of invasion, correspond to the period between the 8th and 15th centuries, when much of the Iberian Peninsula was occupied by Muslims. My favourite place or the most beautiful spot that I visited, is the Plaza de España, located in the center of the city, it has fountains, bridges and awesome tiles in that represent the provinces of the country. There, I saw for the first time in my life, Flamenco dancing, it was very elegant.

I think these have been one of my best holidays because of the culture, history and also, the experience of traveling with a my french family and their perspective on Spanish life, wich is, in my opinion, so much closer to the latin culture. Finally, there are other beautiful cities in Andalusie as Granada and Cordoba that I want to visit in other chance.
