The two Lebanese supporters were all smiles as they readied themselves for the second day of the #LigaBBVAExperience in Seville. Ziad and his 10-year-old son, Nader, struggled to contain their excitement as they prepared to head out and discover all of the city's hidden gems.
The smile on young Nader's face grew even wider when he learnt that the day would begin with a ride on a horse-drawn carriage. As a big animal lover, the youngster revelled in the chance to take in some of Seville's major landmarks on this most idyllic of routes, which he was able to enjoy alongside his father.
The next activity on Saturday's itinerary was a trip to Robles Placentines, the famed restaurant where the Sevilla FC squad get together to toast their triumphs. The Lebanese guests gave their taste buds a treat by sampling some typical Andalusian dishes, including salmorejo (a purée made from tomato and bread) and fried fish.
Next up, the pair climbed up to the very top of the Giralda tower, from where they lapped up the most spectacular views in the city, before embarking on a guided tour of Seville's old town. From here, Ziad and Nader headed over to the city's aquarium, where they were left amazed by the sheer number of species on show.
The fans were next offered a warm welcome at the Betis Sport Bar by the Betis Web supporters' group, in what would be the last activity of the day. The guests and their hosts shared in a relaxed meal in this bar - which is just a stone's throw from the Benito Villamarin -, as the visitors gained an appreciation of the magnitude and importance of the Seville derby.
The showdown between Sevilla and Betis will take centre stage on Sunday, when our #LigaBBVAExperience fans will get the chance to go behind the scenes at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan and take in all of the action at close quarters.
