day 13: Wednesday

Wednesday after school we had an excursion set to Utrera. It is a small city near here with lots of little churches. The city is also know for its pastries. I skipped this excursion since I was super worn out from all the walking the day before in Córdoba. Word on the street was it was such a good idea to skip this one. They walked to 3 small churches and around the city. At one of the churches they got kicked out of, apparently because they were a large group without a reservation.

Instead of going on the trip I headed home for lunch and a nice long siesta. Afterwards (around 5ish) Kristen and I met up and shopped. In my travel book I read about a street named Calle Sierpes and how it was filled with great shops. Soooo.. That's where we went!

There were so many adorable clothing stores! I definitely know I need to come back to Spain to shop *when I lose my weight and shrink my feet, that is * There is a girl in our group who wears like a size 5 in the states and bought XL shorts when we were out shopping (aka ridiculous)

This is a view of Calle Sierpes

One of the first stores we stopped in had
super cool lights hanging from the ceiling

This was one of the lights up close. Love it.
I think it'd be a cute outdoor light idea

The store had this in their window. Interesting I
thought. And they sold kids clothing here? Interesting...

There were lots of stores that were new to me and some that were not. We saw an H&M, Timberland, Swarovski, Lush, Guess, and a Sephora (to name a few). I didn't have a lot I wanted to buy but I did manage to find a cute pair of earrings on sale in a small accessory store :D

BUT: a new favorite store I found was Pull&Bear. I will definitely be looking for their website!! They had adorable clothes.

In addition to shopping- we got to enjoy some good musicians. I think that's one of the things I love most about walking around here. You get to walk around and listen to all sorts of music.

After shopping we made our way over to the Spala Restaurant on San Fernando for dinner. Of course we both ordered that amazing Chicken Carbonara, which sadly wasn't the same this time. It was good but not so amazing→ our consequence for being lame and getting the same dish. At least we were able to make up for it with some cheesecake :D

After din-din we ventured to our casas to end the evening :D
