    Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, better known as Seville Cathedral, was a initially a Mosque.It's the largest cathedral in the world. The nave is really big and impressive.A mother pelican feeding her little baby pelicans symbolise the Passion of Jesus and the Eucharist.1I walked to the top of the cathedral and loved the view.As you walk the streets you sometimes get a glimpse of a lovely courtyard.Narrow lane in the Jewish quarter.Pipes from the Roman aqueduct running thru a wall in the Jewish quarter.Bullfighting is still happening in Seville. It's seen as an important element of their culture.We visited the bullring and the museum associated with it. We did not go to a bullfight.Outside of the bullring, a beautiful building.The bull continues to be the only advertising structure allowed on Spanish roads (for alcohol).We were lucky to have a nice rooftop bar on our hotel. Great view and nice refreshing drinks.We did not go to any flamenco shows (have seen in the past) but enjoyed seeing them around town.

    A few last photos from Seville

    Thought we’d share a few more photos from our time and experiences in Seville. We loved our time in the city and while we covered a lot during our time there we did not see and do everything we wanted to. We hope to go back again.
    Now on to Northern Spain - to San Sebastián - for a week to explore new territory, to learn more about Basque culture and to food and to enjoy some cooler temps.    Read more
