Seville - The Alcazar

Wednesday 10th October

Another beautiful day, with a punishing schedule planned by J. First to the cathedral, which was not officially open, and wandered around the many shrines and chapels. A section was occupied by a “live in” by andalucian miners, protesting about some dispute with the Government.

Then on to The Alcazar, the site occupied by the rulers of Seville since Roman times, and the favoured residence of Spanish Kings for 4 centuries after the Reconquest. Although marred somewhat by the mass of tourists, the Alcazar is truly stunning and must rival the Alhambra in Granada.
