On our day off golf the hotel booked us a minibus with a driver Rayo to take us to Seville, an hour and a half away from Islantilla. We agreed the best way to see the city, associated with Don Juan, Columbus and Carmen, was from the top deck of an open-topped bus.

This is the fourth time I have tried to complete this post and the next day and lost all!!!!!! So in hope now that I have a decent connection!

Seville is a real mix of old and newish architecture. We set off on the top of the bus and saw about half of the tour before getting off. I knew the old jewish quarter was beside some of the old town walls and suggested we get off in a particular district. As we got off the bus we were in the middle of a wedding and this is fairly typical of several I have seen in the past. The ladies were just stunning, wonderful hats and shoes. Needless to say I have several pics!

We walked for quite a bit through the "suburbs" towards the city centre but sadly didn't find the old part.

This is fairly typical of the ornate carvings and the moorish influence is evident in the old buildings.

The above pic is outside the bullring the Plaza del Toro. it is interesting to think how our thoughts of such a spectacle have perhaps changed in the last 30 years or so however I believe it is still very popular  and well attended by spaniards.

What else but us eating again..... tapas at El Plaza de Hercules.
