Alcazar

  The Alcazar in Sevilla was built in the 10th century for governors of the Moorish state. I was surprised to find out the Alcazar still functions as a palace today.Parts of the palace are still used by the royal family.

Patio de las Doncellas

This reminded me a lot of the Alhambra

One of the walls inside

Another pic of the Patio

One of the most incredible rooms I've ever seen

 

 This room was filled with tapestries that covered the walls

A lot of them showed Columbus on his journey to the Americas

 

 

 Before we lost JP

JP's phone wasn't working and we got separated. He wanted to explore the gardens and Jeremy and I wanted to sit in the shade. We spent about two hours looking for him only to find out he thought we left so he left. He was later found at the bus station 6 hours later.

You can see how we kind of got sick of the gardens
