Graceful archways welcomed us to every room and courtyard...
There were thousands upon thousands of intricate tiles...
The Alcazar Palace was the perfect way to end
our very last guided tour of this fabulous vacation.

A FUN, FREE AFTERNOON!
Hmm, we're not so sure that it was really "free" since we did quite a bit of souvenir shopping!

After our morning tour ended
we joined several other travel friends for a delicious tapas lunch. The outdoor restaurant was also
an excellent place to take photos of people, from A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW! Many were guests at a wedding.... Aren't they gorgeous? |
After people watching and tapas eating, we decided to see more of Sevilla.
Should we go by bicycle, carriage, or Rolls-Royce?

And now (sadly), it's time for our farewell dinner. Our evening began with
