Seville, Spain [Part 1]

Wednesday, 22nd August '12
I did a walking tour this day. I tried to speak with a couple of the people on the tour, but they were all preoccupied with friends/partners etc. They were also a lifeless crowd and our Italian guide tried his best... with limited success. I blame the heat, it was too hot to try to be funny. It also didn't help that most people's first language was French and his was Italian.

Anyway, the walking tour gave a good overview of a lot of the places, but we didn't get much time at any of the places before we were told to move on. I guess the guide was aware of how hot it was and how hotter it was going to become, so he tried to do it as soon as possible.

We went to so many places and I didn't catch the name of basically anywhere I went. So just enjoy the pictures and use your imagination.

 Tallest Building in Sevilla (until some bank skyscraper is finished)... It's a Moorish bell tower, left from the original Mosque that was here before the Catholics came and took over. 







 Something about tower of gold?? Nobody knows why... 
 A pretty park around the Plaza Espanya. Super pretty place. 


 Cathedral in Sevilla, it's the biggest Cathedral in the world... according to a certain measurement. Not including height or something?? Whatever. 

 I took pictures of pretty buildings... sue me. 



 This building was made in 1920s ish as an 'apology' to Peru for invading their country and killing/raping/plundering their shit. 






 This place is approx. 7mil x more beautiful in real life. 












 It is symbology central. 










PS. none of these pictures are in any kind of order. I realised that going through, you guys will have to visually add one to the other.
