A Basch in Seville

Sunday April 10th


An early departure was scheduled for Sunday as we had a commitment to meet Dan, a family member, at the train station in Seville by 3:30pm.  Along our way we passed many more orange trees and an even greater amount of olive trees.

We arrived at the train station with plenty of time to spare thanks to Mark's excellent driving.  We met Dan who was right on time and traded signs. Jen wanted to take a Porters Hat along so she could play the part but Mark wouldn't approve. From there we went into the middle of the city where we ate a leisurely lunch in a courtyard under orange trees.

After that, we walked into the heart of the city where we saw the Seville Cathedral which happens to be the largest gothic structure in the world and is also where Christopher Columbus is buried.  We climbed up all 34 floors in the corner bell tower to get a breath taking view of the city of Seville.

After that we wandered around the city park and came across the Plaza de Espana. The plaza was constructed for the 1929 worlds fair and was fun to wander around and take pictures in.
