Saville

M and I had a perfect trip to Saville. Everything fell into place .. it was like the 1st five iteratations of the Fabernacci sequence, divine preportions, were used as co-efficients in our GoodTimes() function.

After a 3 hour train ride we arrived in Saville. Took a cab to the old town maze also known as the Santa Cruz district and got hilariously lost. Eventually we checked into our hotel, and oldSkool place once frequented by the writer who came up with the character Don Juan.

A quick freshen up and off we went exploring. We sauntered the beautiful maze of the Santa Cruz district, marvelling at the fantastic architecture, people and gardens. We headed over to a grand gardens and a palace, taking picture after picture. We checked out an amazing Flemenco player. Saville is the birth place of Flamenco.

As evening arrived we found a great tapas bar filled with locals. Music played, and the after work crowd settled into a good night. We had a laugh with a few people, enjoyed a few Cruz Campo cervezas and headed off to change for dinner.

M had already figured out a great place to eat, a place called San Marco´s, a great restaurant in a formally arab baths. Great food and ambience. Good times. Afterwards we enjoyed locals bars chatting with locals, and a nice couple from Majorca. All the while the locations and the Spanish experiences made us smile. (here´s our fave below - Santa Cruz Bodega)

Following day we headed to the Alcazar, and old Arab construction filled with classic arab architecture and infinate detail. Later, it was used the HQ for Spanish expeditions. We checked out a bunch of Magellens artifacts. We took a bazillion photographs, which I'll post ASAP.

The afternoon we enjoyed great Tapa´s in our fave place .. patata´s brabas, patata´s ali-oli, calamari (for M!) and paella. All super yummy and less than 1.20 each. The place was called Santa Cruz Bodega and was super vibrant, packed with locals who all smiled and was super friendly as I ordered in my broken Spanish. LOL! We tooks some movies of various characters in the place.

Later we headed off to a Market, checking our more Saville. Around 5pm we headed off to the train station and headed back. The train headed through many canyons, endless olive groves.

A great trip that M put together to celebrate our 12th year anniversery. It´s wild that it´s 80 degrees in Novemeber!

PS. The snow in Whistler and the local moutains of Vancouver is looking nice! I think we´re set for another great year of boarding.
