• SEVILLE

    Jun 14–28, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Arrived in Seville Thursday afternoon after stopping off in Antequera.
    Once unpacked and in our apartment, we went for a walk. Headed down to the Guadalquivir River for a bit of a wander and a drink at one of the scattered bars. Headed out for dinner (italian).

    Friday was a quiet day just. Headed to the Bullfighting Museum - Plaza de Toros and then prepared our own lunch at our apartment. In the afternoon, did a boat cruise down the river, viewing some of the local sites from there.

    The Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), which is now a maritime museum, was visited on Saturday. There are no photos to show, but it was interesting listening to the audio guide...The 36-meter-high tower was built by the Almohads in the 12th century and was part of the Moorish city wall, which ran between the Alcazar Palace (visiting Tuesday) and the rest of Seville. It's called the tower of gold in reference to the prosperous period during the times of the Latin American colonies.
