The ship arrived in Cadiz, Spain, at
sunrise. I was soon off to visit Seville, Spain, which is the
capital of the Andalusia region.
My tour of Seville included time in the city squares and two
very important sites:
Here are a few of
my photos from today’s visit.
 |
| Beautiful farmland existed between Cadiz and Seville. The area is famous for vineyards and sherry production. |
 |
| Narrow streets were the norm, but they opened up to beautiful plazas. |
 |
| It was Sunday morning in Seville, and the restaurants and shops were opening for the day. |
 |
| Several young girls were posing for photographers. I bet it was to commemorate the first communion. |
 |
| The entry to the Alcazar. It is a royal palace of the Spanish monarchy in Seville, Spain, originally a Moorish fort |
 |
| A view of the wall that protected the Alcazar. |
 |
| The entry to the Alcazar is not that impressive. Just wait until you get inside this Spanish palace! |
 |
| The tile work in the Alcazar was amazing. |

 |
| Each region/kingdom of Spain has a section devoted to it on the Plaza de España. |
 |
| After lunch, we made our way to the Cathedral of Seville. |
 |
| The remains of Christopher Columbus are contained in this cathedral. Here's his tomb. |
 |
| Another view of Columbus' tomb. Genetic testing was done to support evidence that his remains are contained here. |
 |
| The main altar of this cathedral, one of the largest in the world, is covered in gold. |
 |
| The courtyard outside the Cathedral of Seville was beautiful. |
