Can I move here and sit in this courtyard all day????

Pop culture trivia: Lawrence of Arabia and Game of Thrones filmed here (as the Palace of Dorne for House Martell) 

Some pretty lucky peacocks and ducks to live in a royal palace. We probably saw about a dozen peacocks hanging out and too many ducks to count lol. We also saw a few cats roaming the gardens but didn't get any pics.

This was my Must-Do and it did not disappoint! So many pictures we will have to break them into sections. Royal Palace of Seville originally built in the 10th Century and still used by the Spanish royal family when they visit Seville. Also make sure to read the sign on the Admiral's Hall...Ties into America's history. The first picture is to show how large this place is (we were there almost three hours and I could have stayed longer lol). Here's the Wikipedia link with the full history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alc%C3%A1zar_of_Seville?wprov=sfti1#

More pics from walking around Seville. 

We walked over the Roman bridge and into another part of Cordoba... we were kinda hitting a wall at that point so I only got a photo of one of the first exhibits, but it happened to be my favorite. A piece about climate change. Unfortunately it loses its impact without the 3D glasses.

Also, fun ... no cabs would come pick us up there so we had to hoof it on our tired legs another 1.5 miles back to find the cab spot. 🤨

Castle of the Cathedral Monarchs built in 1328. The interior wasn't much to look at but the garden was nice even though not much was in bloom.

Some shots from Cordoba

The Roman bridge of Córdoba was originally built in the early 1st century BC. Most of the present structure dates from the Arab reconstruction in the 8th century. FUN FACT: Used as the Bridge to Volantis in Game of Thrones!

The Great Mosque was constructed in 785 on the orders of Abd al-Rhaman I, founder of the Islamic Emiratr of Cordova. The mosque was converted to a cathedral in 1236 when Córdoba was captured by the Christian forces of Castile during the Reconquista. Today, the building continues to serve as the city's cathedral and Mass is celebrated there daily.

Our hotel serves the eggs fancy... low temperature egg over Iberian ham and sourdough, and scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled looked like a fluffy little pie.

Also have a great spread of pastries, fruit, yogurt, granola, hams, and some cheese that Alli will knife you for.

Amazing pizza and tiramisu. Authentic Italian in Seville 🍕 

Sunset at "The Mushrooms". A large mostly wooden structure. There are walkways along the top and we timed it right to see a beautiful sunset over Seville. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setas_de_Sevilla?wprov=sfti1
