Seville, Spain


Seville is one of those quaint little towns that's a real crowd pleaser.  

It has all the necessary elements --
an old town full of picturesque cobble stone streets,
a terrific park -- Maria Luisa Park, with this cool building the Plaza de Espana,
and for historians, The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, where Christopher Columbus is buried.  
But my favorite place hands down was Isabella's palace -- The Alcazar. 
The gardens were so lovely that I got carried away.  
Each angle was prettier than the last. 
But what I really loved was the Moorish influence. 
It was the first time I saw it up close.  The carvings reminded me of lace.
Cheers!
