Spain - Malaga and Seville

I´ve been in Spain since Monday and originally I was supposed to fly into Seville. Unfortunately, I booked my ticket through American Airlines who booked a ticket through Iberia who bought 40 seats on the flight which is run by Click Air. Long story short, Iberia somehow cancelled my reservation even though there were seats available on the plane and I was holding my paper ticket in my hand. So instead I took a later flight to Malaga which is about a 3.5 hour bus ride from Seville. So here´s what I´ve been up to.

Monday (16th) Night - Malaga - I arrived and took the bus to the main road. I found a really shady hostel...one that looked like I might be taken away in the middle of the night to some warehouse and never seen again. Luckily that didn´t happen. Instead, I landed up walking around the main square, had a beer at an outdoor bar, and met 3 arabs who were atheists. We were chatting in Spanish for about an hour and then they wanted me to come with them to a club about 15 minutes away. Seeing as it was midnight and I had to get up at 6am, I told them I would meet them there (they really wanted me to go), and intead I went to bed. The next morning I took a 7am bus to Seville

Tuesday (17th) - Seville - Got to my hostel and it was really nice. They had computers to use and the rooms were great. I had a room with 3 other people but since I arrived in the middle of the day, they weren´t there. So I went off on my own to all the sites. I walked to the big Cathedral which was massive! It has 44 chapels and was made to be so incredibly ridiculous and ostentatious for a reason. That reason was to make future generations think the original builders were in fact crazy. I bought a big loaf of bread for .35 € and had that for an early lunch. Whilst I was in the cathedral, I somehow met 2 Americans: about a 45-year-old mother and her 20-year-old daughter who was studying abroad there for the semester. We landed up walking through the rest of the cathedral together and then had lunch. Had tapas and paella and sangria, and the mother paid for it. Then I had a tiramisu ice cream which she also paid for. I highly recommend this type of travel seeing as it is the cheapest. We then went to the Alcazar (Royal Palace) which was nice. I picked an orange from the myriad of orange trees there and when I ate it several hours later, it was incredible. Anyway, at the palace, the girl asked how big my memory card in my camera was. I took it out to check and then I tried to look at my pictures, they were gone, erased, borados. I made a quick run through the palace again and re-took all my pictures there but lost the ones from the Cathedral. It´s not really a big deal seeing as I wasn´t in most of them and you can see them all in a book. I went to a flamenco show that evening which was cool. Before the show, there was a guy playing classical guitar and singing with a pianist playing and a poet reciting his own verses. Very relaxing and cool. When I got back, I met my roommates who were already in bed. The one was a Korean guy and the other 2 were a couple from Canada. Long story short, they said "ey" and "aboot" so many times I almost lost it. The next day I took a train to Cordoba.
