And now we return to Seville. In preparation for our return home we would return to the place that began our journey. It was our hope that we could find accommodations near the airport so we could have a less stressful time preparing for a very early morning departure. It was not to be so. Not finding any available hotels we again returned to the Murillo to seek help. They too were booked full but were able to help us make arrangements to stay in a close by apartment near the Santa Cruz area. We carried our bags three flights up the narrow staircase of this very old building to find a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room. Leaving or returning to our room required pressing a button in the hallways that would shed light on the darkened walkways, a few seconds at a time. We were told that we must be in the building by eleven p.m. lest we be locked out for the night.
How more fitting could it be to once again stroll the avenues of Seville in search of more tapa bars, there to indulge in an additional variety of tapa delicacies and to solidify the memories of Spanish Sangria and Cerveza.
An early flight the next morning required us to let ourselves out of the apartments locked front doors at 5:00 a.m., securing them as we left.
