As a foreigner, I really had hard time to understand “Andalú” in my early times in Seville. One of the expressions that they use a lot and I find it extremely funny is “No NI NÁ” and this has same meaning as “Anda, que no”o“ No way”. It doesn´t sounds like Spanish but it is as much part of Sevilla as are the “Flamenco” and “Tapas”. Here’s the “How to enjoy the sunny capital city of Andalucía” in one blog article. Where is it? Seville is the fourth...

“I hope that The Big Power can come out this time” said the taxi driver. I know Sevilla already well enough that I knew what he meant. He was referring to the Semana Santa (Holy Week) that is coming up and that the specific procession carrying a float representing “The Big Power” will not be interrupted by rain.

After the discovery of the Americas in 1492, Sevilla became the central hub for seafarers, accumulating wealth and people in the process. Just north of the centre was an area which was often inundated by the Guadalquivir...

Although the season ended a couple months ago and we’re well...

During the summer months in Sevilla, I decided to take a hint from the locals and escape the heat by going for a day trip to Matalascañas. Matalascañas is a beach located about 1.5 hours from Sevilla – in Huelva – and a roundtrip (ida y vuelta) from Sevilla is only about 12,00 €! Vamos a la playa, oh oho oho I’ve been several times now, and I remember my first time running smoothly. We’d arrived early to buy our tickets and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast of tostadas and café con...
