Here are 2 of my favourite buildings that we explored in Seville. The first is Alcázar, which is a palace built in the 1300s. It was there that I officially fell in love with patterned tiles. RobO pretty much had to drag me out of the room with the archways at closing time.
We also had a daytime and a nighttime visit to the Metropol Parasol, which was built in 2011. This is supposedly the largest wooden building in the world.
Finally, it would be irresponsible to blog about Seville without talking about the food! We ate well every day (albeit with dinner starting at 9:00 or later) and their gluten free options were top notch. I had one of the best meals of my life which included something they called ‘bags of goat cheese’ (goat cheese wrapped in filo pastry, fried, then drizzled with balsamic reduction). The dessert was ‘fried milk’, which tasted like creme brûlée wrapped in filo pastry and topped with mint leaves. RobO didn’t do too bad either with prosciutto wrapped asparagus and Iberian ham topped potatoes.
Our picnic spot for lunch one day:
We are currently in Granada and have tickets to the Alhambra tomorrow. Get ready for some more archway pictures!!
Better hope for no tornados around that wooden structure!
Amazing!! I was thinking Alcázar looked familiar, then I realized that a part of Game of Thrones took place there. Lucky!! (I bet RobO already knew that fact!)
