Santiponce, Part 2 Itálica and lunch

We walked to Itálica from the monastery along tree lined streets with similar but different outdoor decor than Sevilla. Itálica is free to enter for Sevilla residents and EU citizens even if we had paid it was €1.50. My previous visit with Bruce and Ivan http://bevbrucelexi.blogspot.com/2014/03/road-trip-with-our-guide-ivan.html 

We noticed, having visited before, there are more areas not available to look or walk through. Wondered if the site is degenerating by time and the authorities are doing what they can to preserve it.

Tunnels like this run the circumference of the arena

Lunch was at Ventorrillo Canario, one of Ryan and Angela’s favourite places to eat. The grilled food was fabulous accompanied by a special, spicy red pepper sauce. The wait staff were professional and entertaining. The patio was extremely large and restaurant inside had a traditional upmarket decor. 

Another good day out of the city.

Cheers, Bev
