Seville, the Alcazar, and Seville Cathedral

Today we took a one day trip to Seville, and saw the Alcazar palace, parts of which were constructed in the 1100's by the Moors.  Columbus left from Seville and Cadiz for his four voyages to America, and Magellan left from Seville for his voyage around the world.  We also saw the Seville Cathedral, fourth largest in the world.  We ate lunch at a open air cafe along the river.  Here is a sampling of photos... along with a panorama from the top of the bell tower of the Seville Cathedral.  Tomorrow we will visit a wind farm and solar energy facility... and then leave late tomorrow afternoon for Morocco.

  1. Que vista tan bonita!
    Looking forward to hearing about the solar and wind farm trip, and seeing photos.
    Keep on blogging, we're enjoying living vicariously through our intrepid professor at sea and on shore :)
