18April Seville tour, Spain

Sevilla!

What a wonderful city!

I would have been so mad if I just stayed on port of Cadiz and not taking a tour to Sevilla.

I mean Cadiz is charming itself with lot to see and walked about to take many photos, too.

We have booked a ship’s tour to Sevilla here in Cadiz.

We got up unusually early at 7am to prepare for 8 o’clock departure.

Good news is that the ship is not leaving Cadiz until 11pm tonight.

That means we could have enough time for Cadiz after we come back from Sevilla tour.

I did not expect much of Sevilla even though there have been a lot of people describing it as an amazing place.

EXPO was held here in 1992.

This amazing place was built for the 1992 EXPO.

Old Jewish quarter, Santa Cruz.

Our tour guide instantly joined flamenco dance with a restaurant owner’s castanets music when we were on a small court yard in Santa Cruz

The Cathedral St. Mary of the See where Columbus’s remain is buried.

Beautiful palace Alcazar built on 11^th century where the Spanish Royal still uses for accommodation whenever Davis Cup Tennis match is held on Sevilla

The palace is not only unique in architect but also has nicely maintained garden

 

A peacock flew down from nowhere and posed for us like magic

 Lunch was not included in our tour today but 7 of us managed to find a restaurant in town with the best location.

It has the view of beautiful Cathedral and the Palace Alcazar.

Having more Tapas at the plaza where the Cathedral is located
