Christmas is here

As I promised on my last post, here are some pictures of the christmas lights in Sevilla! It's crazy how much effort they have put on these lights but they have done a pretty good job! I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

 The second biggest cathedral in the world

 Las setas

 More lights...

It is so pretty!

 

This weekend is a public holiday so all hostels are fully booked and super expensive. In a way maybe it's good to leave earlier as it's going to be all packed and insane. Today I'm heading to Portugal and I am really not looking forward to the 8 hour bus drive, but it's going to be worth it in the end once I get there!

 “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”   

 

With that in mind I'm going to start my trip!

 

¡Hasta luego!

Ultimos días en Sevilla

Hola amigos! Many things have been happening these past few days so I haven't had the time to write much about Sevilla. I have a small change of plans (as always) as I decided to quit my job at the hostel. I have also decided to do a "small" trip to Lisbon before I go back to Greece. I am really looking forward to meet up with Riley and Lulu again as they have been working in a hostel in Lisbon for a month now. It's going to be craaaaazy :D

But before that let's go back to Sevillaaaa...

About a week ago I got to celebrate thanksgiving for the first time with my American friends in Sevilla. I really liked the idea of thanksgiving and it was fun being around one table with this big group of people.
I big applause to Reina and Hilda who made that turkey! It was delicious and quite massive! (6 kilos to be precise)

 yes, there was lots of food...

and good people

 As that wasn't enough the next day we got these...

mmmmm...

On my last days here I have been going for long walks around Sevilla, snif snif

 The Maria Luisa park

 hello beautiful!

It's been great living here all this time and having the chance to get to know Sevilla so well. I am so grateful for all the people I have met because they have made my stay in Sevilla unforgettable!

It's sad to leave, but it's time to move on for new adventures in some new place! Sevilla will always have a special place in my heart though <3

Flamenco, tapas, montaditos, cerveza, paella, kebab, sangria, salsa, salmorejo, 99 cent brie cheece...I will miss you

 Spending my last day with these gorgeous ladies! Reina and Hilda :)

(bomba de chocolate)

Why am I doing this to myself? It was freaking delicious though...

Christmas has arrived, but the weather just seems to get hotter here! I will definitely post some pictures of the christmas lights in Sevilla so stay tuned!

20 rocks!

The 25th of November for me was a great day! I was not really looking forward to my birthday because twenty doesn't end in teen anymore. Does this mean that I have to be all grown up and responsible now? In my case I don't know if that is ever going to happen, but there might be still hope...even for me.

We already started celebrating my birthday on the night of the 24th. It was a two day fiesta and I must say that I did enjoy my special day! Without my awesome friends Montana and Luke it wouldn't have been the same though! Thank you guys for being so awesome!

Me and Luke ready to partyyy!

Montana and Luke came with me to dance salsa! Basically I danced most of the time and they just watched...oopsy!  

 

The next morning (when my actual birthday was) I woke up with a big smile on my face and had the most unhealthy breakfast a human being can have. The magic word is nutella!

 

A Scottish guy from the hostel gave me a rose for my birthday hihiii :)

 Also Montana and Luke had wopen up early that morning looking for a bakery to buy me cup cakes! I was so happy to get cake on my birthday and my tummy was very thankful as well!

 Exciteeeeeed!



After all that cake (which was delicious by the way!) we went to have montaditos! It was 50 cent montaditos again so we all got as much food as possible...damn, I'm going to miss these Spanish offers! Montana has been so in love with montaditos that we call them now Montanaditos...yes, she is quite obsessed with them hehe.

The day just got better when me and Montana did some girly stuff and went shopping for like three hours. Shopping therapy does work! I bought the blingiest dress I could ever find and I was ready to take over the streets of Sevilla!

From the Cathedral we ended up in Alameda to have kebab because life without kebab would be a boring life, right?

 Everybody should get a picture with a random guy on their birthday. Thumbs up!

The girls looking good...the guy doing his own thing

Then shots kept coming...

...and people went a bit crazy!

 

Mission accomplished and birthday was a success! A big THANK YOU to everybody for making that day even more special! I'm lucky to have so many good friends :) I think I am getting used to my new age now, but I am still going to make the same question every year...
