Again, the sheer size is tough to capture. Hopefully my brain can keep as many of the memories as it can.
Then we pushed on to the Plaza de Espana. My sunburned head made me more than happy to buy a 'Spanish' six euro hat from China.
Then an al fresco lunch, of enough food to feed eight people. And yes, we did eat it all.
The gardens around the alcazar were spectacular.
After the cathedral, we walked to the alcazar. I had thought in Toledo that there was THE Alcazar... but alcazar just means moorish fort... and there are a lot of them in this area of Spain.
And wow, the tomb of Christopher Columbus. He sailed for Spain from Sevilla, so I guess it's fitting that this is his resting place.
The next morning we got tickets to go into the cathedral. Again, tough to describe or even capture in pictures.
In the sunset, everything just glowed.
Ummm, yeah. Like 20 steps and there's the Cathedral de Sevilla.
After a short rest, we decided to grab a bite. The sangria and food were great. The restaurant seemed to straddle two streets and I kept noticing lots of excitement and happenings on the one behind Bailley, opposite of where we walked from. So we leave in that direction.
We stayed at a small hotel, right in the middle of the maze.
Yet another hike from the train station to find our hotel. Mostly just normal big city, but when we got to the older section... wow. So many beautiful, tiny streets in all different directions.
