Fería

We started our 2nd Spring break two weeks after Semana Santa to celebrate the Festival in Sevilla, but before we hit the fair we visited Málaga and went to the beach for the weekend. In Malaga we found a Taco Bell! It was surprising because there are none in Sevilla. One thing I miss back home was some spicy food. The beach was fun, Cesar and I played so footy and laid out in the sun. We arrived back in Sevilla only to go to Madrid to watch the Real Madrid play against Wolfsburg in the Quarter finals of the Champions League. Madrid was losing 0-2 aggregate from the first leg game (each team gets to play a game at home). In the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, 

Ronaldo scored a big Hat Trick to seal the game 3-0 making Real win the quarter final with a 3-2 aggregate lead, advancing them to the semi- finals. Cesar was really excited as the team he supports advanced, but I went to the game hoping Real would win the match, but lose the aggregate score. All in all as a fan of futbol, you can’t watch that game without still loving it no matter whose team you support. I also got to see another friend from back home who studies in Madrid. We got another taco bell in Madrid as well haha. Volvemos a Sevilla por la Fería!(We return to Sevilla for the fair). We went to the fair for the next couple of days and got jarras de rebujitos which was white wine and sprite, a special drink for the fair. The were also carnival rides and other types of rollercoasters/ rides. We spent our last couple of days relaxing and we watched a corrida de torros (running of the bulls). The tradition of bull fights during the fair is very important to the spaniard and i'm glad that I was able to see one, but I could go the rest of my life without watching a bull die again.
