Morning all.
A heavy day’s sightseeing, but first of all, Tapas. Not for breakfast, obviously, but last night and again tonight. We reckon the ideal number for 2 is 5 dishes. Last night we had 7, tonight we ordered 6, so moving in the right direction.
And out of all of them, my absolute favourite was aubergine. Difficult to believe, although when I add that it was covered in breadcrumbs, deep fried and then drenched in honey you might get the picture. Who needs Mars Bars ….
Anyway, to work. The walking tour was cancelled, so we did our own thing. And essentially, mid-morning, Seville seemed to be entirely full. The lines to get in the cathedral were long, and we didn’t fancy queuing in the sun.
Sun over the cathedral tower.
However, someone told us that about a 10 minute walk away was another church which no-one goes to, and you can buy a combined ticket allowing you to jump the queues. So we did.
Here’s the cathedral ..
Nice pic of me taking a pic of the roof.
Then back to the queue for the Alcazar (oldest occupied royal palace – look it up). Too long, so lunch and come back at 2.00 when no-one in their right mind would be sightseeing. Some still were ..
It’s getting to 35 degrees now, so back to the a/c flat and a cooling soak on the roof 😎
Then back out into the heat for drinks, tapas and so on.
That’s it for Seville. A quick stop but a fabulous city. Off to the mountains tomorrow.
