After enjoying a hearty breakfast at the Al Andalus hotel in Seville, we jumped on our bus to the center of the city.
Everyone in Glee enjoyed a guided tour (split up by class year, shoutout to my amazing fellow sophs!) of the Cathedral of Seville — which has beautiful architecture and houses many incredible pieces of artwork. We saw the recently identified remains of Christopher Columbus and walked all the way up the cathedral's Giralda Tower (amazing sights and a good workout!).
As we were performing in the Cathedral the next day, getting a chance to see the space was exciting as we had not yet picked a place for the performance. After the tour, the winning location was the alter created by artist Pierre Dancart!
After finishing the tour, glee clubbers split up for lunch. A few of us found our way to El Patio San Eloy where we enjoyed local cuisine and tried Spanish Fanta (which tastes fantastic!).
After lunch, we had the opportunity to do some shopping and sightseeing before heading back to the bus.
The bus dropped us all back off at the hotel where we had a group rehearsal to prepare for our upcoming performance the next day.
After rehearsal finished, we jumped on our buses again back into town to grab dinner. A few of us glee clubbers walked around taking in the rainy night (and stopping into a few more stores for browsing and buying) before we ended up at the restaurant Sabina and enjoyed some tasty Tapas! When walking back to the bus to go back to the hotel for the night, we stopped for ice cream when we stumbled upon Amorino— I enjoyed a non-dairy option in a cone in which the ice cream was placed on top of it like a rose!
In the bus, some glee clubbers were sharing the story of the Flamenco show they got to see.
This is Isabella Bustos (‘27), signing off!
