We arrived in Sevilla in the late morning. Rafael had asked us to call him from the train station to let him know we were coming. This worked out well because he met us at the apartment and we were able to check in right then. He gave us all the information we needed to stay there and gave us a quick tour in the immediate neighborhood, including the tourist office. The apartment is part of a beautiful older villa- picturesque and also secure through an outside locked gate and a bolted front door. We were incredibly centrally located by the cathedral (the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of them!), the palace, many little stores, a grocery store right out the back gate, and a plaza. Despite the central location, it was also very quiet. We also enjoyed a flamenco show Rafael recommended that was only a five minute walk away. What a lovely apartment in a lovely city!
