I stayed in the Triana barrio of Sevilla-- known historically for its azulejo (tile) creation. I took this photo of an intricately decoration azulejo bench at the Museo CerĂĄmica de Triana.

I studied at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) in Sevilla. I took the metro there every day and spent my time learning in English in Spanish there (and trying all sorts of new Spanish snacks and lots of cafĂŠ bonbon from the machine).

I had some of the most magical experiences here at the Plaza de Sevilla. I spent many an afternoon drawing its architecture and paintings using water from its fountains.

This is another view from the Plaza de EspaĂąa-- this time of a musician playing lovely flamenco music, one of my favorite musical genres.

This is a photo of the replica of La Giralda, which sits atop the famous gothic Catedral de Sevilla.

This is an azulejo image of La Virgen del RocĂ­o in Sevilla. These works of art caught my attention and tugged at my heart as I wandered around the city.

I took this photo outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where I spent hours.

I took this in the Museo Prado in Madrid. Once again, I really enjoyed my time spent in museums surrounded by beautiful art.

I took this photo of a window in Faro, Portugal as well. It reminds me the importance of perspective and noticing details in your life.

This is one of the most classic views of Sevilla, where all the tourists take a photo.

I took this picture in Faro, Portugal where I met up with my cousin who was living in France at the time. I welcomed this time with family.

This is a view from a mountain in San SebastiĂĄn (or Donostia in Basque), a gorgeous coastal city in El PaĂ­s Vasco.

Bitter Seville oranges could be seen all over the city. They were first brought to Sevilla by the Arabs when the AndalucĂ­a region was called Al-Andalus. As a Floridian, they were a welcome site that made me feel at home.

These oranges caught my eye again-- this time they were sweet oranges like the ones we have here in Florida. I took this photo in Chefchaouen, a beautiful blue city in northern Morocco.

I took this in the back of my Uber on the way to Sevilla's airport to board my flight to Miami. I would bring all my memories and photos home with me.
