After having a nice breakfast (with view...) at Reina Victoria Hotel in Ronda.....
we headed to the birth place of Bullfighting.... Plaza del Toros. With not too many people around....Karina and Chris played bull and fighter....
After visiting through the museum, etc we headed to Seville ~ about 2 hour drive from Ronda. It wasn't as traumatic as yesterday's....no lost equipment parts....
Hotel Amadeus in the heart of Old Seville is absolutely a wonderful hotel. Each room has room number- and composers name....like Bizet, Mozart, Wagner, Pucci, etc. Our room is Rossini...and it is a suite with own whirlpool bath. Before we went out to do anything...of course, Karina was soaking in there.
We first walked about Catheral - the 3rd largest in the world, after St Peters in Vatican, and St Paul's in London - and is the larger gothic cathedral in the world. We will visit inside, and go up the tower tomorrow morning.
We then went to Alcazar...... the bottom 1/2 is 14th Century Moorish...and top 1/2 is 16th C Renaissance.
By then, Chris was not feeling well, so he went back to the hotel. Karina and I continued our walk around old Jewish area - Barrio Santa Cruz.
We saw about 3 different sets of tourists with Rick Steve's book today.... And of course, one family who did not have the copy, asked us to borrow a few minutes to find out where to eat...they took photos of the pages. Since we arrived in Spain, we saw at least one tourist set with Rick Steve's book.
We will be off to Flamenco show and tapas soon.... For now the view from our rooftop terrace......
