Seville

This morning we visited the Royal Palace or Alcazar, famous for its gardens...

After the Gardens we took the tour of the Royal appartments upstairs.. again no photos allowed, but is was from these rooms that Magellan received his commission to sail to the Americas in search of gold and treasures.
We had a late lunch at the bar two doors up from our hotel. The bar has been there since 1670... some of the hams hanging above the bar loooked like they could have been there that long tooo! So if the bar had been there that long, then this must be one of the original streets... so our hotel is also of the same era. Apparently it was a convent and at one time a tannery.
A siesta was the order of the day after the late night last night and the late one planned for tonight. Also the heat gets pretty fierce in the middle of the day and with every body else closing up shop until 5 or 6 pm there wasn´t much choice.
Tonight´s late night was a flamenco show... no photos until the last 5 minutes but none of mine were any good. The dancing was great but not enough of it ( two guys, one playing guitar and one wailing mournfully took up far too much time!) and I would have liked more costume changes... Ole!
