Plankton and algae and microalgae - oh my...

This was our first full day in Sevilla and we had a reservation at a place called Aponiente, which is about 1.5 hours to the south, on the southern coast of Spain. If you wanted to, you could catch a boat over to Morocco. But we had places to be, plankton to eat.

Madrid, I heart your churros...

We decided to go for another churro hunt, and found this place called Chocolat not far from our hotel. It was delicious - we got a pot of melted chocolate, freshly squeezed orange juice and churros. The churros weren’t fresh ( as in the last 10 mins) but were still tasty. As was the chocolate and orange juice.

Diverxo - but no photos...

Today we had lunch at a cool Asian/Spanish fusion place called Diverxo. However they don’t allow photos, so you can’t see the cool food we ate. It used a lot of XO sauce and had a lot of familiar tastes that remind us of dim sum and chinese cooking.

Ramon Freixa - epic...

Today we went on a few walks and tried some new churros at Chocolateria San Gines - crappy service, average churros. Will be going back to the other place, Chocolat another day.

So we woke up, checked out and headed to Chocolat, my favourite churros place. This time the churros were fresh and the place was packed. What’s worse, it was packed with Australians :(
