Seville and the #LigaBBVAExperience, love at first sight

From Plaza de España to the Giralda, stopping by the Benito Villamarin – the fans from Argentina, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago took a tour around Sevilla from north to south and east to west. Unsurprisingly, they fell in love with the place. On their second day, they discovered the magic of one of the most beautiful cities in Spain.

They kicked off with some football. A visit to the Benito Villamarin was a must. Our fans checked out every corner of Real Betis's stadium. They sat where Joaquin, Charly Musonda and Antonio Adan will tomorrow in one of the stadium's best kept secrets: the Betis dressing room. Then they headed out of the tunnel and stepped onto the turf – the very same grass which some of the best players in the world will grace with their presence in less than 24 hours. "What a treat. Messi will come through here tomorrow," Juan Pablo said to his father.

That was it for the football side of things. It was time to see Sevilla. But first they needed to regain their strength. La Raza restaurant, where Betis toast to their sporting successes, was the place chosen to give them a taste of Andalusia's cuisine. The meal consisted of rice and fried fish, accompanied by a good measure of football, Brazil, Argentina and the Caribbean. Finally, it was time to see Seville.

They didn't dare blink. They didn't want to miss an instant. They were left flabbergasted by the Plaza de España, before heading on to the Plaza de Don Juan Tenorio, the Giralda, through the cobbled streets of Seville, to the Macarena district and Triana Bridge. They saw it all – every nook and cranny of the city.

After the guided tour around the city, it was time for a rest. They needed to recharge their batteries for the night ahead. There was plenty of flamenco to come. They could not leave Sevilla without visiting a tablao. At La Carboneria they learned to stamp their heels, order sangria and fell in love with the ham. Such is Sevilla, it is capable of bringing together four Argentinians, three Brazilians and two Trinidadians at a flamenco tablao while they chatted about football and clapped in time to the rhythm.

That was it for the day and tomorrow awaits. All they know about tomorrow is that they have to don their Betis shirts. The rest is a surprise. Just in case, they were given fair warning: "Sleep well. Tomorrow's going to be incredible."
