City Tours

Every Friday we have a city tour with our program and we go to different parts of the city. The first week we arrived we went to the Cathedral and La Giralda. It was a amazing to learn about the history behind this very old church. Then we climbed 30 stories to the top of the lookout and saw the city view from above.

This week we went to Triana and the Torre del Oro. Torre del Oro is a lighthouse that they used to guide ships along the river. We went to the top and could see our university and the cathedral. There was also a maritime museum that we checked out. After, we went to the neighborhood of Triana which is across the river and an older neighborhood with cobble stone streets and quaint houses and markets. Very cool area with lots of little bars and restaurants.
