Having walked about 150 klms from Cádiz Jerez Sevilla, we took a week off in Sevilla.
Sevilla – flamenco, bull fights and happy Sevillanos – a place that you could easily forget to leave.

World's largest Cathedral (C16th) & Giralda, former minaret of the mosque

A Cathedral door - Arabic flanked by Disciples and topped with a Bible scene

Bridge (1845) across the Guadalquivir River to Triana, the old Gypsy quarter

Torre de Oro (Golden Tower) - a Muslim watchtower built to guard the River

Plaza de Toros (Bullring) construction started 1749

Sevilla street, early

Plaza España, built for 1929 Expo

Our nearest and favorite bar, always packed, always messy

Azulejos, tiled pictures, are everywhere - telling the stories of Sevilla

Flamenco in Azulejos

We were lucky enough to get a front row seat

You can get your knives sharpened here

Alcázar of Seville - the royal palace, originally for Moorish Muslim kings.

Inside the Alcázar - a cliche but true, breathtakingly beautiful

Extensive gardens of the Alcázar

Underground baths to avoid the heat and humidity date - 13th century

Last meal in Sevilla - Tapas at Boca a Boca (Mouth to Mouth): Goats cheese with walnuts and treacle, Fried brie with sweet pepper jam & Eggplant with cheese and treacle - cut with chilled Manzanilla (dry Sherry), perfect
