Flamenca in the street
Seville is very nice. We’re staying in the old-town area, and there are many sights in easy walking distance, which is fortunate – driving here is not easy. As usual there are lots of narrow, twisty streets, mostly one-way traffic, if vehicles can get along them at all. The street where we are staying has a narrow point where the mirrors touched the walls as we drove through. Parking, as usual, is at a premium. Amazingly we did manage to find parking in a public parking place – the alternative is a commercial parking house, and that gets expensive.
Rio Guadalquivir
Lots of sights to see here. Here are a few. The city is on the Rio Guadalquivir, somewhat like the Yarra in Melbourne.
Street art in Seville
There is some spectacular street-art adorning the walls here.
Metropole parasol
And there is some interesting architecture, like the Metropole Parasol, a pubic space that seems much loved by Sevillians.
Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla
By chance, on a random walk, I found the Museo de Bellas Artes. It had such an unassuming enterance, but inside it was huge and full of fabulous art work.
Alcazar
We visited the Alcazar palace and gardens. Spectacular.

Seville Cathedral
And the Cathedral is huge, with amazing flying buttresses and ornate stonework.
