Right now we are standing under the roof of a restaurant waiting. It's Sweet Potato here, and this is some brinjal, it is brinjal with cheese, there is cheese inside it, it looks like an interesting dish, rest let's see, the weather is playing, you can see it brother. It is getting cold, it has rained and our Seville, now we will explore a little in the rains, the stadium where our bull fight was to be held, now we have come back to get some refund because it has rained, so the bull fight got cancelled. I have taken the general entry ticket, the bull fight is not happening but the ticket to enter the stadium is 10 euros [music] I have got a friend here, this is mt friends, he has come from Mexico, that means every two In four minutes a horse comes out, a horse carriage comes out [music] The thing that we feared has happened,it is raining. Now we have just left after lunch,
there was a restaurant here named Petra and as soon as we left, it started raining, we got a little wet. We have done this when the rain has slowed down a bit, so now we have come out and in Seville, today and tomorrow even I think there is rain prediction on Sunday also, so Bad luck it is. The day we arrived, the weather has worsened a bit and there is rain etc. and now the sky dive has been canceled but apart from that, the other things we have planned can also definitely get affected due to this rain as we Tomorrow we have to go to see the bull fight, so now let's see what happens if it rains and whether it is possible or not, there are many things, for now we are going to the hostel, today there is not much special scene to visit. We will stay in our hostel and go out here and there in the evening. One more thing I
noticed here which I had not noticed in any other Spanish town till now, there are a lot of horse carts and people are travelling. Look, three horsecarts are standing here in the line itself, in fact four. people are using horse card for local commute & tours. Our legs are strong,so we are moving I am enjoying the weather has become good, meaning it has become suitable for walking, but yes, at the moment I am not enjoying. There are some things which you cannot control after seeing the rain,
so you accept it and do as it happens. Sky diving is very popular in Seville and the reason behind it is that the weather here is quite moderate throughout the year and favorable for sky diving, but our luck is such that when we came, it rained here Which is not a favorable weather for sky diving, May be some other time, not here but in some other countries,I will do it. Sky diving happens in many countries . hello good evening friends and I have come at this time, Seville. Let's go for a walk at night. It's now 8
o'clock. The name of the river you see behind me is Guadalquiver River. It is the only navigable river of Spain. Navigable river, I mean the water body where Water vessels can pass easily and can pass safely, just like India has two navigable rivers Brahmaputra and Ganga, similarly Spain has only one river and at this time it is almost 8 in the evening and it feels good, some music etc. is playing. Today we did not have anything in mind to cover any particular spot, we just went out for a night walk in the night, the view of the river was very beautiful and we had fun. While we are still walking, here
is another bridge on the same river. We have crossed here and the lighting here looks a little better. The bridge on which we were earlier did not have great lighting. It was quite dark, but yes overall, the lighting here is much better. Not very dim lighting,
not very bright lightning plus today the weather is also a little rainy, oh man, it has started raining, people are also a little less visible to us or those who are visible are either carrying umbrellas or wearing rain coat etc., it is showing rain for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow too, so right now we don't know how well we will explore Seville. Right now We are standing under the roof of a restuarant , we are waiting for the rain to subside , let's go out. Yes, the rain has stopped just a little bit and we are going to check out a restaurant right now. When it was raining, we went out
one or two right here. We sat at one or two places in the line and had some light food. Had a drink and waited for the rain to stop, now we are going to a Tapas restaurant for me, I didn't find anything special to eat in a vegetarian place, so maybe there are some options for vegetarians, we will go there and see a little bit and then sleep, today it was raining and we People came in the afternoon, after that the weather has been like this, let's see how it will be tomorrow, we are going back, this one is near the hostel, there is See this, friend, the Cathedral of Seville. you will find the cathedral in every city in Europe, but friend, it is very big, it is very big, literally you will see it, even my phone is not able to capture it completely, I have to tilt it a little. It is very grand for me but I will show you its architecture from a little closer. It
is night time and today it had rained so there is not that much crowd so it is good for yourself. Oh my god man wow look at this. It looks great. The setup is great, the lighting is very accurate, according to this monument, it is very tremendous at this time, it is very big, there are also bicycles and tram lanes, so one has to see that too & be careful, but wow, it is literally fun, see If you come to the restaurants here, which are tapas restaurants, in maximum restaurants, as soon as you enter, you get these olives along with this bread and these people give some packets of Churros at the start so that you people Enjoy, it is free of cost, you can order whatever you want with it, this is your dish, this is roasted sweet potato, brother, this is some brinjal, it is brinjal with cheese, there is cheese inside it. Looks like an interesting dish, let's see how it tastes, the rain was not stopping, we had dinner and now finally we had to come, we came running quickly, look, we are already drenched. After waiting for a long time,
brother, it is 12 o'clock, it is about 12:30, the restaurant where we went , it was open almost till 1 o'clock, but there was a lot of crowd there, ok brother, here. There's code to open the hostel gate. It has been opened . let's meet you later, Good Night hello friends good morning today is a new day in Seville city today is 12th October. Seville friend, it became a little bad for us because when we
came Seville It has been raining heavily in this city since yesterday and in fact it is raining even today and it is raining tomorrow too. We were here till Sunday and since yesterday it is raining here so many of our plans got canceled like Our skydive got canceled due to the weather. After that today we had to go to see a bull fight show, that too got canceled because the weather was rainy, The tickets for our bull fight costed 37 Euros and out of that, the face value of the ticket was 21 Euros and the remaining 16 Euros were taken by them as management fees.We did not even pay that much attention to the details because we had to watch the show but now it has rained and got canceled. The show has gone and
the mail we received is that you will be refunded the face value of 21 Euros and the management fee is non-refundable, so 16 Euros for me and 16 Euros for my friend. Both of them are non-refundable, so we have wasted 32 Euros, but ,this happens, this is also a part of travelling, some of your plans become good, some of your plans also get canceled. We did not know this much about the weather conditions because when we had made this plan two-three months ago, we were not able to know that such weather would happen in Seville and even though Seville is popular through out for a good weather. That's why sky diving here also runs for 12 months, but my luck was bad, this time it has been canceled, but anyway, right now I am going to have breakfast and Shivam had left a little earlier to have breakfast, I am going by myself. I would like to have breakfast, friend. This is the cathedral we saw yesterday. This is the Cathedral of
Seville . This seems to be the biggest cathedral of this city and I think it will be one of the biggest. Although in Europe, when we saw Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, it was also quite grand but I also liked it very much. I made a video here at night and the lighting etc. looked quite good at night. There is no lighting right now but yes.Lot of crowd. You can see it is quite big [Music] Brother, we have just had breakfast, what a breakfast it was, we had a good smoothie bowl, it was a peanut butter bowl and I also took a spinach and a soya patty. I had a lot of fun, my stomach is quite full, now I
don't think there is any need for lunch, it's 12:30, you can see the weather, brother, it's cold. It has been raining and Seville,we will explore in the rains, we will do a little bit, now we are going to some hostel, from there we will pick up our bull fight tickets and then we go to the bull fight venue, from there we have to take some refined money, here is the stadium where our bullfight was to be held. Now we have come back to get some refund because it has rained so the bullfight has been canceled. There are very long lines, I think all these Have just come to take the refund but I guess you can go inside the stadium, you see the stadium once but first take the refund, after that let's go inside and see what is the account, here it is brother, it was very close, it is much bigger. Also very close to our hostel, man, I miss it. It's done, man, it is fun, it was a different thing, man, this is the box office of the stadium, we will take tickets from here, brother, there is a lot of queue, many people are standing, I have bought tickets for the general entry, the bull fight is not happening but there is entry inside the stadium. The ticket is 10
Euros which seems a bit expensive to me considering we had also taken the main Fight ticket which got canceled due to weather calamity and after that we got some money in refund too but I am going in just because. Because this is a different thing, it means that I will not get this much in any other country, so I want to go inside and see what is in there, how is the stadium, I understand that there will be a stadium with a ring, but There is excitement and a curiosity to see because this is a unique thing related to Spain which probably cannot be seen in so many places in any other part of the world. You can see that this was not the crowd of refunds, this is the crowd in the stadium. We got the refund for taking the entry ticket inside, that is, within 5 minutes, the counter was empty, we went there, we gave them copies of our physical tickets, the print out which we had taken, we had got that print out from the hostel itself and they They gave us 42 Euros, we had bought the ticket for 74 Euros but we got a refund of 42 Euros. Anyway, I was told that I will get entry at 2:15 PM because they send only a limited amount of people inside at one point of time.It's 2:10 PM right now, let's wait for 5 more minutes [applause] [music] [applause] [music] [applause] [music] [applause] [music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] This is the replica of this stadium [Music] This is what it looks like ,brother, you have the bull ring in the middle, there is a seating area at the back and it is great [Music] [praise] [music] [praise] [music] [praise] [music] [music] [praise] [music] [praise] [music] [praise] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Guys, I just came out of the bull ring and I was going there, so I found a friend with me. This is our friend here,
Ivan has come from Mexico and let's talk to him. We are hanging out together a little bit and I was telling you a little bit about bull fighting, that it is a very old Spanish tradition and is still practiced in many Spanish speaking countries such as Mexico, Peru, Venezuela ,happens in Spain, it used to happen in Colombia also but now in Colombia they are going towards banning it, now they have outlawed it already and by 2027 Colombia will ban this bull fighting because it is animal cruelity here. But basically what happens is that human beings fight with bulls and in the end they kill those bulls and you must have seen that these people wear red colored clothes but it is not so that the bull gets excited by the red color or goes towards it to kill, the bull is color blind, it is just a tradition to wear red color, that is why they wear red color and this is what happened in olden times, when bull fighting was done on horseback. There used to be a man and he used to kill the bulls but now
they are not on horses, they happen normally. Even when I was studying in Spain after 1980, the craze for bull fighting went down a bit. It's because it is animal cruelity, you are killing the bull and now I have left the stadium, it was a different experience, I took a photo, met this brother and talked to him for a bit, now we are going to gather to see a spot, now we are going to a building. We have come to a place whose name is Torre De Mar It is situated on the eastern side of the Guadelquiver River. It is a museum in a way and here we can see what is kept inside. It has been restored. This is their monument and look inside, Ivan brought me here.
I said, brother, let's go and see and there is no ticket for it [music] When this tower was built, it was basically built for a defense mechanism which is built above this border river, so from there these people Used to watch the defense of the city [Music] [Music] B Okay [Music] Just now Ivan left for his hotel He had a flight from Seville to Madrid Today he had to go So man, he seemed like a very nice guy to me.He was a Mexican, Mexicans, are very warm people and friendly. felt a sense of affinity with them , he just talked to me and it was fun interacting with him, now I have come to a Souvenier shop, I feel like buying some gifts and I have a The thing was in my mind, I have got it here, this bull shaped Fridge Magnet, this is what I am definitely getting, it is worth 3.5 Euros, apart from this, let's see other things should I get. It was raining out. I did the shopping inside and now I am leaving. I will reach my hostel in a little while. Now the rain has stopped for a while.
Let's leave immediately. The rain is getting heavy See this is the balcony of my hostel. This I think is in the main square, so the horse carts keep running here all day long, the sound of horses walking keeps coming, see this brother, it means every two to four minutes a horse passes by, a horse carriage passes by. [praise] [praise] Yes brother, it's 7 o'clock, we have just left for dinner. For dinner, we decided to go to an Indian restaurant which is a little away from the hostel, a walk of 2 km means 20 minutes walk. I am in the mood to eat Indian. I didn't eat
Indian even yesterday. Now let's go and eat at an Indian restaurant. We will eat with pleasure. This is probably some government building. I am not able to find out. I will have a look at it now. I am refreshed brother, I rested in the hostel for one and a half hour and now I am just going to eat the food I want. Let's see today. If there is a scene set somewhere to watch the Flamenco performance at night,
then we will go there. Otherwise, it depends on the rain. One important thing that I forgot to mention is that today is 12th October and 12th October is the national day of Spain, so it is a national holiday here and the timings of many of the spots were affected .It means that they were open for some time, like some things which are usually open till 6:00 in the evening, today they were open only till 3:00, so like our(Indian) Independence Day falls on 15th Although it is not Spain's Independence Day but the national day. It is celebrated every year on 12th October. It is a national holiday in Spain and basically it is celebrated for the Spanish culture and Spanish history. This day is celebrated on this day. It is celebrated
in a way by every official of the country. This is the National Day and that's all. [Music] Brother, we have come here. There is a bar where flamenco performances take place. I think there is a lot of crowd here.
[Music] [Applause] Nyad and there the fan performances take place. Basically a bit informal setup. So, if you want to see a proper performance, then you can go to theaters where there will be a proper stage and seating, there you can see their performance, but if you want to see these flamenco performances in a slightly informal setup, then you can go to such places. You can go here basically you had to go and have a drink and you can go inside and watch performance, it was very crowded, I mean I felt overcrowded. So, it was quite crowded inside but it is a different experience, now it depends on you, what kind of experience you want to consume, if you want to go to the theatre, then you can go to the theatre, there are tickets etc. It was in Málaga
also. These performances are also available here, so it is up to your choice and if you want a little informal setup, then you can definitely try these clubs, which was also shown in ZNMD movie. In that too, if you have seen Senorita song, it is the same thing, Flamcenco Dance performing there, obviously it was a movie, so a little Hindi style was added to it and dance etc. was done, but this was also a similar setup
. Informal setup and I have also heard that later at night you can also dance etc with these people. when the club is about to finish off . It would be time, that is, the latter half of the clubs, but it is still 10:30 and we are a little tired.
I am going back to the hostel and good night see you c [Music]
