Editorial Summary

Creators Jamie and Skyler document their first trip to Europe, focusing on the cities of Malaga and Sevilla, Spain. The pair attempts to navigate these walkable cities without the assistance of cell phones, relying instead on physical maps and spontaneous wandering. In Malaga, they explore the historic Old Town, visit the Central Market to sample local olives and produce, and hike toward the castle and Alcazaba for panoramic views of the city and harbor. They also visit the Malaga Cathedral, though they find the tower closed for construction. The journey continues via high-speed train to Sevilla, where they experience local architecture, including the Sevilla Cathedral and Plaza de España. The creators encounter various weather challenges, including rain and falling oranges, while sampling regional specialties such as Iberian ham, paella, and churros with chocolate. Despite missing some attractions due to seasonal closing times and weather, they conclude that the experience of getting lost and discovering local eateries and musicians was a highlight of their travels.
