Yet another Cathedral! Impossibly clever pop culture references!

Friday, March 25
Thursday, we had checked spent a lot of time checking out Seville and seeing most of the popular destinations, so on Friday we explored at a more relaxed pace.  One building we hadn't looked at yet was the Seville Cathedral, so we walked around inside for a while.  Fun facts: the cathedral was built on top of an old mosque, is the largest gothic cathedral in the world, and is the alleged burial site of Christopher Columbus. Later in the day we explored Triana, a neighborhood on the west side of the city-dividing Guadalquivir river.

The bridge connecting Triana and the Rest of Seville

The previous day, the tour guide had mentioned how there is some beef against Triana and the rest of Seville - apparently, Triana would rather be its own city than part of Seville. Luckily, we were able to avoid any Shark vs. Jet crossfire as we traversed the city, though a spontaneous musical number by a street gang would have been much appreciated.

Insanely impressive parallel parking skills

Because of the aforementioned construction at the hostel, friday night they offered a free barbecue dinner.  Our bus was leaving for madrid at 11pm, so we at the barbecue and hung out again on the hostel's rooftop terrace for a few hours.  As a whole, the day wasn't jam-packed with different museums or monuments, but it was still really good.

Entirely unrelated song post:
My roommate introduced this song to me a while back, and I've listened to it quite a few times.  Its a remix of Nancy Sinatra's song Bang Bang (click the link for the video of the original song).  The original is actually quite good in itself.  Anyways, Bare's remix is very different from the original, but also very good.   You can download the remix here.
