¿Qué hizo en Sevilla por una semana?

Hola estoy aprendiendo Español y quiero mejorarme mi español, entonces quiero compartir mi experiencia en Sevilla en Español con todos. Mi español está nivel A2/B1.

El hotel y lugares turistos

Me quedé a Hotel cerca de la iglesia Santa María la blanca. El hotel estuvo muy limpio, el habitación estuvo muy basic, y cerca de la ciudad centro y pude caminar por todo. Pero las parades de mi habitación no pudieron bloquear ruido de fuera. En la noche, otros turismos hicieron mucho ruido y no me pude dormir bien. Hubo la piscina en el techo pero muy pequeña.

Me gustan el alcázar, el palacio de las dueñas, el palacio de España mucho. El camino en las calles antiguas fue muy interesante para mí. Lo mejor para mí fue a andar en la calle antigua y descubrir cosas nuevas. Exploré muchos lugares por piel y también crucé el puente a mirar Tirana.

Fui a los pueblos blancos cerca de Sevilla por autobús (aproximadamente 100 dólares) ; Zahara, Ronda, y Grazalema.

La gente y la comida

La gente de Sevilla no parecieron a amable mucho pero si yo necesité alguno apoyo, ellos pudieron ayudarme. Observación de mí que la gente de Sevilla fuma mucho en afuera y come especialmente tarde en la noche. Los restaurantes estuvieron abierta hasta tarde en la noche. La gente de Sevilla parece a la misma de otros europeos pero habla la misma de la gente de caribeños. Por ejemplo, la palabra "vamos", sevillanos no pronuncian "s" y puse escuchar como "vamo".

La comida había muchas cosas con jamón. Todos los restaurantes sirvieron jamón y pan. Me gusta comer verduras mucho pero muchos restaurantes no las sirvieron. También fui a probar el restaurante coreano pero el arroz no estuvo cocinar bien y estuvo duro.

Sharing my Sevilla experience

Location of hotel

Stayed in Sevilla for one week at Fernando III hotel. For me, hotel was so so as it was letting in a lot of noise but location was great. The pool was on the small side and I did not use it. A bottle of champange was provided on day 6.

Tourist sites

  • El palacio de las dueñas was the highlight of my trip. Stunning and beautiful.
  • Did a day trip by the tour bus to Ronda and that was interesting to see the landscape and other white towns.
  • Alcázar was interesting but I think I could have skipped the chapel. I thought the La iglesia de Santa María la Blanca was actually more interesting and I feel like after seeing one church, all other churches pretty much look the same.
  • Plaza de España was a nice walk to look at it.
  • I wanted to take it slow so I did not pack in too many things to do. The fun part for me was to just walk and get lost in the old city (I used the compass on my watch to get a general sense of direction) and the run to explore the city.

Food

I did not have good luck with food. They all were just bread and jamón to me.

  • Tried to check out El Rincochillo but there were always lines of people and it was on the pricy side.
  • Tried La Bortula after waiting for 30 minutes. Food was on the salty side but nothing to rave about. Then I tried all the different places and I thought they were just too bland or too salty for me.
  • Naturalmente Real Food. Overpriced but was decent. The most greens I have ever seen on the trip besides espinaca con garbanzo (Spinach and chickpeas).
  • Churros are deep fried dough dipped in sweetened chocolate. Try them but they all taste the same. I think they have to be freshly made to be good.

Other activities

  • There was a 10K race on Sunday, May 10th and I was able to participate partially. That’s when I realized that the people here speak like the people in the Caribbean - "Vamo" instead of "Vamos."
  • Did a total of over 15 miles run over different days to explore the city. Not many runners out but they have dedicated paths for walkers and runners.
  • I also just took a local bus ride just to explore the city. It was 1.40 Euro for each ride.
  • Jacarandas (the purple trumpet clusterred flowers) were blooming and that was a nice sight. I did not see a lot of orange trees bearing fruits but they were everywhere.

The locals

  • People were very nice and kind. They don’t look so friendly but they also don’t bother you either. I would sit at the park to read and no one came by to bother me to buy something from them or made me feel uncomfortable around them.
  • If you ask them for help, they all were helpful. Many people smoked and ate outdoor. Reminded me a little of on-the-street dining like they do in Vietnam but in Sevilla they sit on proper tables and chairs rather than the plastic stools.
  • They really eat late. Most places stayed open until midnight and it appeared to me that locals would also drink with their meals. I wonder how they could drink at lunch and return to work? I think work culture must be very different over there.
  • For example, when I joined the 10K race, I just asked, "¿Cuántos kilometros más para esta la carrera?" They lady looked at my foreign face and replied back in English, "We have 7 more kilometers to go!"
  • I don't think a lot of English is spoken there but I tried to communicate with them in my level A2 Spanish at all times.

Edited to add more things that I may have missed and other items observed.
