Travel Snapshots

SNAPSHOTS
OF SEVILLE,
SPAIN

S

eville, Spain boasts rich, vibrant
architecture and cobbled streets
beautifully lined with shops and
tavernas. The eclectic mix of
people and cosmopolitan feel of the city
makes it an ideal location for people who
want to experience authentic Spanish
language and culture in a beautiful setting.

It is a splendid getaway location for a
week that can easily be filled with scouting
out historical landmarks, interacting with
the hospitable locals and soaking up the
beautiful warm weather… all of this while
enjoying some authentic Spanish cuisine
made with home grown ingredients in the
many restaurants dotted around the city.
Here are some great snapshots from one
of our educator’s trip to gorgeous Seville.
