Carmona

Yesterday I went on a short day trip to Carmona, a picturesque little Pueblo Blanco situated in the hilltops, only 30 minutes away from Sevilla.

As usual food was the most important part of the itinerary. We casually strolled through the winding streets, gazing up at the rows of freshly painted white houses, detailed with colorful Moorish tiles.

We followed the “Ruta de las tapas,” a series of small restaurants and bars that specialize in traditional tapas. We enjoyed a few glasses of white wine and basked in the calmness of this quant town, while gazing out at the vast countryside. Although we spent most of the day waiting on busses, it was a wonderfully relaxing day away from the hustle and bustle of Sevilla.
