We feel a bit like lazy travelers although yesterday a walked over seven miles exploring the city. We started our day with a visit to the neighborhood called Triana. It’s on the other side of the river and it feels a little less polished and more like an area where locals live.
We stopped for a selfie along the Guadalquivir River which runs through the city.
Then on to the Triana Market – loaded with fish, fruits, veggies, cheeses, pastries and souvenirs. The fish below is called a Merluza similar to our Sea Bass.
As on previous visits to Seville, we made a visit at the Cathedral of Seville – the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world! There is always something new to learn or discover in this awe inspiring place.
Inside there are many treasures; like this painting by Goya;
The tomb of Christopher Columbus;
And many small chapels filled with treasures adorned with gold and jewels.
Tomorrow we will pack and leave for a morning train to Malaga, Spain. Like Seville, it’s in the region of Andalusia and but unlike Seville, it’s on the Mediterranean Sea and considered the capital of the Costa del Sol. We will be in Malaga for a 5-night stay.
We have had a nice time in Seville…one of our favorite things to do is to wander around the city after sunset to view to beautifully lit buildings.
We hope all is well with you! We read that Atlanta got some much needed rain and we are happy about that! Sending our best wishes. Sharon and Larry
