Upon arriving Seville in the evening, we quickly settled in the hotel and walked to city.  It has rained during the day; the air was fresh.  The city shined under the golden hour sun ray.  We walked across bridge Puente De Isabell II (Puente de Triana) and continued walk through the center of the city. A group of young girls jumped in front of my camera and shouted "took a photo!". They must have just came out from a party.   We felt the vibes of the city and continued walk till we reached Plaza de Espana and had dinner  on the nearby street.
