From Gibraltar and La Linea, we made our way to Seville in Southern Spain.  I really, really enjoyed the city.  The architecture is fantastic.  Being third largest church in the world, the Seville Cathedral is opulent to say the least.  As part of UNESCO World Heritage site with the Real Alcázar and the Arvhivo de Indias, it was definitely on my radar.   The Alcázar has some of most beautiful and intricate tile work I’ve ever seen.  They’re fantastic!

Here are some photos from our time in Seville:

La Giralda, the bell tower of the Seville Cathedral, is crowned with a bronze weathervane statue of Faith.
