Seville Day 2 - Part 1... The Alcazar and wandering in Seville..

Our first full day in Seville.  We wandered off to visit the Real Alcazar and, as was to become the norm, we walked along the River Guadalquivir - something that was to become a regular event.

As we walked a large bird flew over.. a White Stork - we saw it a while later flying in the opposite direction with nesting material in its beak.. we never saw it again unfortunately.

These statues were outside the Bullring.. more about that at another time.

And Carmen... of operatic fame..

You may find that there are many pics of Wysteria and Palm Trees (they look so good against a blue sky)..

Wysteria grew everywhere it seems..

One mode of transport.. but expensive!!

A rubbish bin!!

Oranges growing along the road side..

and into the Real Alcazar - now a Royal Palace...

First communion?

 The gardens of the Alcazar

and then off for lunch, before visiting the Cathedral.. which is part 2!!
