Las meriendas (also known as snacks) here in Sevilla are completely ridiculous and I am still amazed on how skinny these people are when they eat things like this.... usually accompanied with cafe con leche this scrumptous treat is eating by locals all over the city. Watch out college students... this could be your next wave of the freshman fifteen.

A few basic facts...
1. Third biggest church in the world (The first is St. Peter's Bascilica in Rome and the second is St. Paul's in London)
2. Claims to have the tomb of Christopher Columbus
3. Has the famous tower called "La Giralda"
My observations and comments.....
It's best to go here with a friend. It's really cold and the organ is very loud and plays scary music straight out of phantom of the opera. It's a little creepy. A lot of things are gold plated so everything is behind a cage type of thing. FYI you also have to pay.

Paseos
Watch out NYC fashion week paseos en Sevilla are showing you up! Late afternoon, los sevillanos step outside and roam the streets to take their daily paseo (walk) and check out the latest fashions offered by their unique boutiques. It's not uncommon here to see young mothers strutting in the neighborhood of Santa Cruz in their high leather pumps and fur jackets. Men wear plaid and nice slacks and even children wear more charming outfits than Suri Cruise. They also walk at a pace of 2 MPH, so if you expect to get from point A to point B fast between the hours of five and seven, think again.
