Seville

Our first day in Spain and I think we have both fallen in love with Seville. Here is a photo of our hotel which is a converted 16th Century Palace!

We spent the morning at the Real Alcazar a wonderful rabbit warren of rooms beautifully restored which were originally built in 1364, well that is when they started!

Did I mention I love doors?

We went wondering down extreamly narrow streets, getting lost a few times and finding interesting plaza, stunning doorways and lots of cobble stones. The small of orange blossom will forever remind me of Seville as you often find them lining streets.

This key hole is around 10cm high and was in a door almost 6 metres high. Not at all unusual for European dities.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at the Cathedral and Giralda tower. Flying buttresses are another favourite of mine!This last photo was taken from the lookout at the top of the tower, a climb up 36 steep ramps inside the tower to the viewing platform.
