Seville

When we visited Seville a year ago, we really didn't see much of Seville.  We used it as a base and went on several day trips to nearby sites.  Since we were in Europe, and we now have friends in Seville (our tour operator Rosa Lara, and her SO Steve), we thought we'd swing by and do Seville.  I'm so happy we did.

We booked the same hotel we had before, Hotel Casa 1800 - a beautiful boutique hotel.  Here's our room:

We wandered around a bit this morning before meeting Rosa and Steve.

We stumbled upon a stamp and coin market

The Alcazar

With a huge line!  We had no line when we visited in January.

The back side of the cathedral

After a nice lunch of tapas and beer, Rosa took us to the Alfonso XIII hotel.  OMG

the staircase

beautiful tilework

This is a Marriott!!!  We are so going to stay here next time (on points, of course).

Pretty view of the cathedral

Tomorrow - maybe a tour of the city and then Flamenco!!
