Seville ++ Distance away from Church of Seville ++ Thats the bell tower in the far distance. It was HERE, that I tasted my first and my last, strong Sangría, which is (from Wikipedia, again) a wine punch (more formally and precisely, a fortified wine) which originated in Portugal and Spain. The word sangria comes from the Spanish "sangre" meaning blood. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangria]

Okay, so some couple bought a jar, cause on day one of the trip, the tour guide recommended us to try Sangría everywhere we went. It was kind of mild in Barcelona, so everyone didn't expect much...till that day. It was so STRONG! Extremely fruity and STRONG. I think if I finished the jar, it might be my last jar. As far as I can remember, I drank glasses of it in Madrid, I went very pink, but SOBER.
