Tickets for the Alhambra Palace can be purchased at the self-service ticket machine next to the ticket office. There is no need to queue up and there are few people. Yunluo used a Minsheng Bank Euro credit card and passed it in one go. The visiting hours of the Alhambra Palace are divided into morning sessions (8:00 to 14:00) and afternoon sessions (after 14:00). Entry is only possible during the reserved time period.

The number of visitors per day is limited (6,600). If you come during the week of Easter and from June to September, you will often encounter the situation where tickets are not available on site. It is best to book in advance. Tickets booked online can be picked up at a bank ATM in Lacaixa in any city in Spain. You need to insert the credit card used when booking the ticket.

The ticket prices are the same and tickets are available from half an hour before the opening of the evening. Reservations are also possible.

There are many water outlets in the Alhambra Palace. Although they are spring water from the mountains, they are no longer drinkable. Drinking water is provided in the palace. You can find it if you pay attention. There is a toilet at the exit of the Alhambra Palace. It is free. There is a large supermarket called Mas opposite the Granada train station. 5 liters of water is only 0.58 euros.

It is very easy to watch football matches in Granada. Just order a drink for two or three euros and you can enjoy a football feast for at least 90 minutes. Wine is definitely not a place with high consumption. It is different from China.

Picture Andalusia in your mind’s eye – arrogant men in wide-brimmed hats, flamenco dancers, turbaned penitents following a statue of the Virgin illuminated by candles, a bullfighter spreading his red cape… Rather than saying this is Andalusia, it’s more like all of this has become a reality in Seville.

Especially during the September Festival, everything you can think of and can't think of can be shown with great enthusiasm in Seville.

September Festival is the beginning of summer in Seville. It is also the beginning of the carnival in the whole city. The sunshine, food and architecture there are full of enthusiasm. The colorful traditional Seville skirts make you unable to look away. The different colors on everyone also make you overwhelmed with every step you take.

The skirts are billowing like waves. When they are in the mood, the streets and alleys become their dance floors. In fact, this is the most primitive flamenco, there is no specific dance steps. Everything moves as the heart desires.

Because of Seville's September Festival, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu even ignored the city's most beautiful Plaza de España, the quiet Jewish quarter, the Golden Tower built with gold looted from America, the exotic streets, and the legends and stories of this city.

By the way, there is one thing I haven’t forgotten, it still belongs to the city of Columbus.

There are not so many hardships in the story of Seville. Some people say that no matter whether you go to Madrid or Barcelona, ​​as long as you have not been to Seville, you have not been to Spain. So Yunluo and Yan Chenyu listened to the praise and came to Seville with expectations.

On the train from Granada to Seville, I saw many locals carrying dress bags, which they put down gently when getting on the train and picked up carefully when getting off.

When we arrived at Seville Railway Station, we found that the September Festival in Seville had begun. Almost all the women were wearing traditional Andalusian wavy skirts, and people like Yunluo and Yan Chenyu who were dressed in ordinary clothes looked a little weird.

We took the bus to the hotel opposite the train station. Because of the September Festival, the prices of hotels in Seville skyrocketed instantly. A triple room at 100 euros a night was the cheapest, and the location was remote. In fact, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu should have known the status of the September Festival in Seville through the high hotel prices. But they didn't expect everyone to be so devoted.

The bus took more than an hour to sit, no, it was standing for more than an hour. People in skirts kept getting on and off the bus. The bus was like a jar full of colorful candies, crowded and stuffy, but they were still talking and laughing. You could feel that happiness was from the bottom of their hearts.

When the bus reached the Maria Luisa Park on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, it was completely blocked. That was the biggest traffic jam Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had ever experienced. Cars and horse carriages were mixed together, but apart from the clamor of people, there was not a single second of car horns. At this time, Seville and the others were the protagonists.

I walked to the hotel under the scorching sun and found out it was a youth hostel. It was located in a school and most of the guests were students. When checking in, you had to get towels, bath towels and toiletries at the front desk. You also had to make the bed sheets yourself. There was no waiter to clean the room every day. Fortunately, I only stayed for two nights. I looked at the price of the room at the front desk, which was 27 euros per person per night. With a student card, it was 21 euros per person per night.

The room is big, with 5 beds in total and a balcony. It is very clean. The orange color matches the city very well. Except for being a bit remote and expensive, it is generally good.

It was already 12 noon when we arrived at Seville train station. After being tossed around by the chaotic traffic, it was already close to evening when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu left the hotel. But it didn't matter. For Seville in September, this time was just right. Although the hotel was a bit out of the way, there was a bus to the city center, 1.3 euros per person.

Get off at the terminal, San Fernando Avenue, and walk through the wide San Fernando Avenue to the pedestrian street. Except for avoiding the trams, you can stroll here easily.

The festival dates back to 1847, when it was originally a fair for the trade of livestock, but it gradually evolved into a carnival with various entertainment and celebrations, and the bullfighting season began. During this period, the white streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful flags.

After the lighting ceremony on the first night, the whole city was plunged into a sea of ​​joy. People gathered in tents of various sizes to sing and dance, and taste various local specialties such as fried fish, paella, and raw ham. Of course, a glass of mellow sherry is indispensable.

In the following week, bullfighting, horse-drawn carriages, flamenco and other artistic entertainment activities are held in the streets and alleys of the city.

During the September Festival, large floral skirts, beautiful carriages and gentlemen dressed as gentlemen are all common sights in the city. The most eye-catching thing is the distinctive long skirts of the Spanish girls.

All women wear long skirts, a Seville specialty that originated in the 19th century. They are usually decorated with one or two layers of ruffles and lace, and are cut close to the body in colorful fabrics. They are also paired with a shawl. A large flower or a small comb is used as a head decoration. Today, some traditional long skirts are changed according to the fashion trends every year.

In contrast, the men were dressed more simply, riding tall horses, wearing round felt hats, tight short coats and breeches, and shiny riding boots.

During those days, Yunluo thought of the story of Cinderella more than once, and believed that each of them found their beloved prince in a carriage. Among so many wavy skirts, which one do you like best?

In the evening, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had already walked to the square in front of the cathedral. Such "squares" are rare in Europe and can really be regarded as "squares". This fully reflects the grandeur and richness of Andalusia. The Seville Cathedral was built in the early 15th century, when Spain was expanding wildly and at its peak.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The victory of the Restoration made the people of Seville arrogant. The designers aimed to build a church that would amaze future generations. In the end, they succeeded. The cathedral took 100 years to build. After its completion, it replaced Hagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey) and became the largest church in the world at that time (now the third largest Catholic church in the world).

The great monarch Ferdinando is buried in this church, and of course, Columbus was also buried here 400 years later.

Well, OK. I'll save this highlight for tomorrow to savor. Now it's time to find something to eat.

Maybe it’s because I’ve spent too much energy that day (hauling my suitcase, the hot weather, the crowded buses, running around Seville…)

When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were walking through the Jewish Quarter, they only thought about filling their stomachs and forgot to appreciate the quiet beauty and the pure white houses outlined with yellow lines. It was a pity that they did not take any photos, but fortunately Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had walked through it before.

Yan Chenyu still insisted on looking for a Chinese restaurant. But she failed. It is true that when you are hungry, you will eat anything. But there is also a saying that goes "accidental success". Yunluo and Yan Chenyu stumbled into this small restaurant specializing in tapas. The taste is super good! If you point to the type you want, she will take out a piece of white paper with the shop's sign printed on it.

Roll it into a tube, put as much as you want in it, seal it and weigh it. It feels like going back to the 1980s in front of the counter in a Chinese store. You can also order drinks at the restaurant next door, a beer or a sangria for only 4.5 euros, and there is a toilet available (I observed that the restaurant also has seats outdoors.

So whether you eat here or not, you can go in and use the bathroom without any worries, but Yunluo and Yan Chenyu are usually too embarrassed to do so.) The tapas are full of hard goods.

Squid rings, shrimps, prawns, popcorn chicken, cod... they were all fried, so fat! Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went to buy them three times. Yan Chenyu loved prawns, so she bought them every time. The last time, she didn't finish them and took them back to the youth apartment as a midnight snack.

While eating, I asked the clerk where the supermarket was. The clerk told Yunluo and Yan Chenyu that there was a mas just around the corner, but it closed at 9 o'clock. I looked at the clock and it was already 8:45. I rushed over to check out and just caught up with the last group. (A great event, cool phones are waiting for you!
