Alcazar & Sevilla

On New Year's Eve we arrived in Sevilla, found our place and managed to visit the famous Alcazar.  It was a truly beautiful site, with the amazing carvings and handiworks that almost rivals the Alhambra. The interior ceilings and intricate walls were impressive -whether tiles or carvings, it was amazing to see how wood and stone could be transformed into something so beautiful. 

Not surprisingly, Gabi spent much of the vacation buried in a book.  Who can compete with ancient ruins when Harry Potter is around? 

 

The huge and famous cathedral (third largest in the world?) is the center of the town, and not far from the Alcazar.
