Today, we decided to wear shorts for the first time this decade! We started our day of touring the Seville cathedral and historical Giralda. The Giralda is a clock tower today but in the past was a former mosque minaret. Both the cathedral & the Girala, as well as the beautiful rose and orange tree garden between the two, were beautiful. They all showed the touched signs of the Islamic and the Christian culture once vested here.
After having lunch and an afternoon siesta, we visited the Alcazar. The gardens were amazing and HUGE -- I can only recommend seeing the pictures as the elegantly shaped bushes and lemon & orange trees as well as flowers galore is better off being depicted through photography.
Matt and I decided to have dinner in a pizzeria restaurant in the San Marco Plaza; I had pasta and Matt had salmon - which he loved.
We finished off the evening with going to the best -and usually sold out- Flamenco show at Taverna Reale Uno... Pictures and videos to follow.
I loved it. The rhythm made by hands and heels is the heartbeat while the dancer controls the pace, passion, and 'soul' of the music.
A good night sleep was well deserved in our hostel in Seville, just off the main drag...
