Week 4: Sevilla, Spain


Plaza de España

  This week we are headed to the capital of Andalucia- Sevilla!  Dan and I went to Sevilla during a trip to Spain in 2003.  We only spent one day there and unfortunately I was sick that day, so although we got some sight seeing in, we weren't able to savor the food.  So I am researching some typical dishes from the region and will surprise everyone Thursday.

Some fun facts about the area:
  •  Located in southwest Spain, Seville is on the Guadalquivir River north-northeast of Cadiz
  •  Fourth largest city of Spain
  •  Sevilla is more than 2,000 years old
  •  The oranges that dot the city landscape, too bitter for modern tastes, are commonly used to  make marmalade and lotions
Orange trees line many of the streets
