Semester in Seville, Spain

My semester spent in Seville, Spain was without a doubt the best four months of my life. For starters, the city of Seville is beautiful. There is so much history and culture around each and every corner. While it is a place that a lot of tourists tend to visit, the locals do an amazing job at preserving the rich Spanish culture through language, cuisine, traditions, etc.. This allowed me to truly immerse myself, which is one of the reasons that I was so happy that I chose Seville. One of my favorite experiences that I had while I was away was participating in Feria de Abril, a cultural festival that happens every year for a week in Los Remedios, a neighborhood just on the outskirts of center city. It was so incredible seeing the Sevillanas get dressed up each day in flamenco dresses and suits and celebrating with all of their loved ones.
