For at this time’s put up, I needed to share some eats from Spain! You guyyyyyyssss. The meals was unbelievable.

Whereas we went out to eat a LOT and tried a lot unbelievable locations, I’m sharing our high picks from Sevilla under.
A humorous word earlier than we get began: we prefer to eat. Like, lots. We’re all foodies, all of us take pleasure in it, and we just like the attempt ALL the issues. Additionally, after we journey, we are likely to have one big meal every day after which snack and seize smaller bites the remainder of the day. (You’ll be able to see an instance of this after we went to Mykonos right here.) At the least thrice throughout the journey, the server requested us to cease ordering. “Okay, that’s sufficient meals.” LOL. Let or not it’s recognized that we ordered lots – you recognize, within the identify of analysis – and we crushed it. Perhaps they’re used to vacationers ordering a whole lot of meals and losing it? Welp, that wasn’t us.
