I arrived in Sevilla around midnight and my host picked me up by car. He lived with his mother who had an Alzheimer disease, he took care of her but every day in week she used to go to a center for old people and stayed there around 8 hours. My host took me to the city on Friday and showed me around. Firstly we visited a park with pigeons, it started to rain and it was raining heavily for at least half an hour. Then we went to Plaza d'Espagna where we took many photos and then we had a lunch in the tapas bar Santa Cruz, I ordered 'potaje' which is a chickpeas soup, then tortilla de patatas, calmars and eggplant with honey which was a strange combination and I didn't like it so much.
The following day I met a couchsurfer Antonio and his guest Laura, we met at Plaza Mayor in front of 'Setas', the wooden mushroom-like building. We went on the top on this building, but Antonio could speak only Spanish and Italian and although I mostly understood him I couldn't really speak with him. Laura was translating sometimes, we went for a walk in Sevilla and then my host joined us in the Santa Cruz bar. This time I had mushrooms cooked on wine and calmars, it was late when we got there and there was no potaje left. In the evening I drank too much Bacardi with Coke and I couldn't go out anymore. On Sunday we went to a market and then I left to Cadiz. The following day I walked to the city, the weather was sunny but colder than Mallorca. Cadiz is not a big city, I walked in the narrow streets in the center and in the afternoon I met my host, he gave me a ride on the motorbike and showed me the most interesting places there. On Tuesday my host cooked pasta with salmon in the afternoon and I took a bus to El Puerto de Santa Maria which I met my new host at the train station. He was an American guy working for a military base. He had a big house and five great cats, one of them was mother and the others her kids, two of them were siamese with cream color and black face, ears and tail. We went to an English-Spanish meeting and the following day we played frisbee on the beach and we visited Jerez de la Frontera but it was already twilight when we got there. Then we had dinner in a restaurant in El Puerto, I had an octopus salad and musaka but it was too salty.
I left El Puerto on Thursday morning, I took a bus to Cadiz and another one to La Linea de la Concepcion where I crossed the borders and walked to my host's house in Gibraltar.
