Day 107 The Alcazar and Bella de Artes Seville

IMG_2452

Today was the final day in Seville and one of the best days for sightseeing. We started the morning with a trip to the museum that yielded more tile photos, yes...it is possible and a big exhibit from Murillo. The museum building itself was one of the best sights as it is a former convent.

Then we visited the Alcazar which is a huge palace built in a Moorish style. Many people say that it is a great warm-up to the Alhambra that we will see in Granada in a week or so. The building was huge and the gardens were bigger. I am guessing that even after the four hours we spent there we still missed a great portion on the palace.
