High on mushrooms

Metropol Parasol or The Mushrooms

Seville has an interesting structure called Metropol Parasol or Las Setas del Encarnacion. It’s shaped like gigantic white mushrooms and is accessible by a walkway around the top from which you can see the entire city. It takes up a city block and is located in the old quarter of Seville--the contrast makes it even more beautiful. It was built in 2011 and is said to be the largest wooden structure in the world. We wandered around and walked all over the top of it with a picnic at the top.

People in Seville are incredibly kind and welcoming and we always feel safe. It’s an easy city – bike lanes on every street, people walking, parks and green spaces on every corner and families and kids everywhere. Plus the tapas and wine culture can't be beat.
