Sevilla


Greetings from Seville. So we arrived last night to a balmy 26 degrees and blue sky. Headed to Tapas and Cervezas. Spent today meandering through tiny lanes and plazas covered with clever sunsails against the heat. It reminded us a bit of Venice (narrow winding streets opening onto tiny plazas) and Verona (marble pedestrianised streets). This afternoon went to the Alcazar which was amazing - moorish palace much added to over 1100 years. Truly astonishing architecture and intricate decoration. Nothing like we have ever seen before. Looking forward to exploring more of Moorish Spain. Highly recommend Seville. Tapas and Vino Tinto are excellent!

This is SO UNFAIR!!! Glad you guys are having fun - and hope you didn't eat the oranges in Sevilla... better for marmelade we hear.
