I went to Carmona as a part of a program in the morning before our big trip to Granada. It rained all day in Sevilla, but we just missed it in Carmona, so we lucked out pretty good. Carmona is a little town about a half hour drive northeast of Sevilla. It was a nice little trip and we were back in time for lunch. We went to an old Roman necropolis and saw where a coliseum used to be. Also we went to the citadel of Carmona, which was the strongest fortress in Western Spain during the time of Julius Caesar. It was an impressive building with a lot of history. We also went to a nunnery where the women cannot go outside of the building and no one can see their faces. The only way of communication is a system where they put something on a tray that turns around in a circle. It was interesting to see that some people still do that type of thing. We got back a little late, so the other people that were taking the same bus to Granada had to run to catch the metro home, but I live in the same building as where the buses leave from, which is quite convenient.
