7. dan - pridobivanje elektrike in največje mesto Andaluzije
Jutranji mraz nam je zarezal v kosti, ko smo se postavili na
pločnik v pričakovanju našega prevoza. Današnji dan je bil namenjen ogledu
Seville, največjega mesta Andaluzije ter naravnega izvora elektrike, ki se je
nahajal v bližini. Vendar pa smo morali še pred tem premagati dobre 3 urice in
pol vožnje. To nam ni predstavljalo večjega problema saj smo se s tem enostavno
pogumno spopadli z dobro merico spanja. Nasprotnik je bil tako premagan čeravno
za ceno tega, da smo zgrešili kar nekaj prelestnih pogledov na pokrajino.
Ali pač? Preden smo prispeli na prvo destinacijo smo se vsi že prebudili ter mežikali v novo pokrajino. Kamor je segel pogled so se razprostirala gromozanska ogledala uperjena zgolj v eno samo točko. Zrak je bil tamkaj tako zelo segret, da se je ustvarjala iluzija belih mehurčkov. Zaradi visoke temperature je bilo mogoče videti bele proge svetlobe, ki so rezale skozi zrak. Po krajši predstavitvi zgodovine dežele smo se odpravili bližje gromozanski strukturi, kjer smo izvedeli že več o zanimivi domislici. Vsekakor dobro izveden načrt, ki deluje v prid tako človeka kakor narave.
V mestu nas je pričakalo prijetno segreto ozračje, da smo lahko debelejša oblačila pustili kar v kombiju. 22 stopinj? Ni slabo. Veliko bližje predstavam o jugu Španije, ki smo si jih ustvarjali v domišljijah. Sprva niti nismo morali dojeti, da gre dejansko že tako rekoč za velemesto z bogato zgodovino. Prelivanje različnih slogov arhitekture, ki jih je nasploh mogoče zaslediti po celotni južni Španiji, je prišlo tukaj še bolj do izraza. Še celo »modernejše« zgradbe, stare zgolj približno 200 let so nosile na sebi pečat pregnanih arhitektov preteklosti. Izvedeli smo mnogo zanimivih novosti, ki so bile do sedaj prikrite našemu umu s tančico neznanja. Nekatere stvari so bile tako rekoč povsem samoumevne, spet drugih si nismo morali niti predstavljati v takšni luči.
Po bogatem dnevu je napočil čas, da se odpravimo nazaj domov. Pot je, kakor že po stari navadi, minila hitreje kakor prvikrat. Malo dremeža tukaj, kanček smeha tamkaj in že smo se peljali po sedaj že znanih ulicah, ki jih imamo vsaki dan bolj v žepu. Sedaj, ko smo spoznali že toliko vidikov te kraljevine na Iberskem polotoku, se sprašujemo ali nas lahko sploh še s čem preseneti. Po drugi strani pa, nikoli ne reci nikoli.

The morning cold cut deep in our bones, when we gathered in the street, awaiting the arrival of our transport. This day was specially meant for taking a tour of Sevilla, the biggest city in Andalusia that has the largest natural resource of electricity. But we had to overcome the 3 and a half hour drive before we got there.
Howerer that wasn't a problem for us since we still had an ace up our sleeves, sleep :). The enemy was defeated and all we missed were the nice views of the land. Or did we? Waking up before we got to our destination gave us the opportunity to intake the magnificient land. You could see the giant mirrors, spread wide across the land, all pointed in one direction. The air in that point was very heated which gave the illusion of bubbles floating. The result of this hight temperature enabled us to see the white tracks of light, cutting the air. After a brief presentation about the history of the land, we went closer to the structure, where we found out more about this amazing structure. A great plan, that works in a benefit to the man, instead of the nature. Heat waited for us in the city, giving us the option of leaving our warmer clothes in the van. 22 Degrees? Not bad. A lot closer to the image of Spain, that we expected.
At first, we weren't able to comprehend that this was a metropolis with a rich history. The mixture of diferent styles of architecture, that you can see in the whole south Spain, come to the expression in Sevilla. Even the 'modern' structures, only about 200 years old, carried the mark of banned architects of the past. We learned even more interesting facts, that were hidden to our minds; things that surprised us. After a full day, it was time to go back to our 'home'. The trip back, as usual, went by fast. A little bit of sleep, a hint of laughter and we found ourselves driving through the familiar streets. Since we have experienced so many things in Kingdom of Spain, we are wondering if we can get surprised again. On the other side, never say never.

This roadtrip is 'driving' us crazy. Get it? Get it?
