Crazy sounding name for one of the best hikes we’ve ever done! We went through so many different landscapes on this hike.

Crazy sounding name for one of the best hikes we’ve ever done! We went through so many different landscapes on this hike.
The kids and I took a short drive along the narrow windy mountain roads to try the hike by the dam we spotted the day before. Some of the trails are apparently pretty old, and were used by shepherds thousands of years ago.
Segovia’s aqueduct bridge is one of the most well-preserved Roman elevated aqueducts and was a must-see while we were in Spain. Fortunately, it’s on the way from Madrid to Lafuente.
We spent four weeks in Sevilla. Aside from walking 480 km in our explorations, we also spent many hours relaxing in our airbnb apartment and rooftop courtyard.
One of the fun activities has been exploring the different markets around Seville. Aside from the phenomenally fresh produce, there are sights that prompt outbursts and questions from the kids.
Looking back, it seems that we have a pretty strong focus on food 🙂
This was our last full day in Seville. We spent the morning exploring the Real Fábrica de Tabacos, followed by packing and cleaning in the afternoon.
Some things we learnt off google about going for tapas in Spain like a local – ‘tapearing’:
We headed into the Triana neighbourhood where the restaurant barely had enough room for us to squeeze into. Check!
No English was spoken and when we tried to speak English, we were not understood. Check!
When we left the restaurant, Nolan worked to convince that we should not go out for tapas here again. His reasons were that we paid €1 for a whole loaf of fresh warm bread from the panaderia and €2 for a package of tasty Iberico ham from the grocery store. We paid €3 for ONE slice of cold bread topped with ONE slice of ham – not a good deal Mom.
In addition, he saw the woman prepare the salmorejo and she poured it out of the bottle you can buy at the grocery store (about €1 for a litre) and stuck it in the microwave. We paid €3 for the little bowl. Really not a good deal, Mom!!
We had already visited Las Setas on ground level and below ground level during the day. This visit is on top of Las Setas and during sunset.
The kids watched a video about cork harvesting and another on the production of lime. There were exhibits of different types of traditional Spanish foods before we moved on to the most interesting exhibits for the kids.
After the workshops, there was a review of what they learnt at the Centro Ceramica with the ceramics exhibits.
