After the afternoon visit in Cordoba we made our way slightly south and west to Seville for 2 nights. It is nice to unpack and not have to worry about repacking the next morning! We had a very busy day visiting the following sites below (and I didn't even include them all! eg. the Royal Arab Palace).
| Madrid to Cordoba to Seville |
The umbrellas were up in the morning. We first visited the Spanish Square built for the 1929 World Exhibition. OMG, it was jaw dropping gorgeous. I've got a big thing for colourful porcelain tiles and this place scratches me right where I itch. Around the square are 52 benches with murals (one for each province) and 4 bridges representing the 4 kingdoms, all made of tile.
Our next stop was to the area of Santa Cruz in Seville. Full of gorgeous courtyards with beautiful orange trees connected by coulourful narrow streets! Got a little photo crazy here....and yes, more tile art to be found in the walls of the streets and a park bench made of tile. I'm lovin' it!
Another stop of interest was the Macarena Church which gets its importance from the Macarena sculpture of the Virgin Mary. During holy week every year a massive pilgrimage is formed through the streets of Seville. She really is stunning to see her with your own eyes!
