The Royal Alcazar Palace
Seville
Great day trip from our base in the Algarve. When we arrived in the Spanish city it was very --very warm [42degrees].Walking was not fun but we did get to see most of the main sites.
The city’s two most prominent monuments are the cathedral and the Alcázaz.
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world
Seville cathedral
We enjoyed our time at the birthplace of flamenco dancing.
The tomb of Christopher Columbus is in Seville cathedral.
He was a great hero of mine during primary geography. Even today you can understand what a challenge it was to cross the Atlantic.
The tomb was moved in 1899 from Valladolid to the cathedral.

La Giralda, originally built by the Almohads as a minaret to the Great Mosque of Seville, is now the bell tower of the cathedral.
Seville’s motto is “No me ha dejado”—“It has not forsaken me”
