It was awesome, of course! I might have already told you, it was our second time there. We went to the Costa del Sol for our honeymoon 10 years ago. We did a day trip to Seville and said we absolutely have to come back. So for our 10th anniversary we did just that. 4 days in Seville, 2 in Carmona at the Parador, and 5 in Barcelona. Barcelona was cool, but I wish we'd spent more time in the south and a few less days in Barcelona. Seville was just great - as wonderful as we'd remembered it. The Parador was of course awesome, but I really liked Carmona. Our 2nd evening there we sat in the main square and watch the locals for a couple hours, drinking sangria. How perfect is that?
Here are a couple pics:
Me at the Parasol Metropol, a massive modern art structure over top of some Roman ruins in Seville. We didn't know about this place (it was built since our last trip there) and just stumbled across it by accident - absolutely awesome.

The afore-mentioned Sangria in the main square in Carmona, with some salmojero on bread. This is a tomato/bread/oil/garlic/vinegar soup/spread that I fell in love with. In fact, I just made some this afternoon, which wasn't too bad for a first try! After this we went for a proper dinner. The appetizer was salmojero, which was the best I had the whole trip. Entree for me was bull steak which was excellent. Dessert was white chocolate "soup" as they called it, with mango and cloves. Absolutely to die for. And more wine. I don't really remember going to bed that night

Stef posted a whole bunch of pics on FB. If you can't click through from my profile, send her a friend request. She'll know exactly who you are because she spent 2 days singing your praises while we were at the Parador!
