La mia avventura iberica – Siviglia
My Iberian Adventure - Seville If you've read my previous post about Granada, then you know I left with a very heavy heart. Not only did I have an amazing time in Granada, but arriving in Seville meant My Iberian Adventure was coming to an end. I travelled to Seville by bus and train, which was the last use of my Eurail Pass of my Iberian Adventure. My route was detoured due to a broken rail line. However, the train company arranged alternate transportation. From
My Iberian Adventure: Granada

This time around, I stayed in Cat’s Hostel, which was central to everything I needed, and allowed me to see everything
