Day 106 Monday is the worst sightseeing day ever!

Monday Monday Monday. It is hated in the school world, work world and now the travel world. In Europe most museums and sights are closed on Monday. So while you plan and hope to find your way around little does happen and it can be a wee boring. I decided that Monday would be a great day for the free walking tour. Well, not free but thats a different story.

The walk was two hours around the historic district. While I did learn some interesting facts. Feria de Abril is a huge deal in Seville and the reason for all the flamenco dress stores. The Moors had a huge influence in the city's architecture. Finally, I decided that if you are a truly dedicated history buff, like our tour guide, you are pretty much a conspiracy theorist.... Here are a few photos I snapped along the way.
