Since dad was not feeling well, he rested in.
The 3 of us visited the Real Alcazar De Sevilla. This is a Moorish palace, some of the rooms and courtyards seem to come straight from the Alhambra. Most of them were actually built - by Moorish workmen it's true - for King Pedro the Cruel of Castile in the 1360's who, with his mistress Maria de Padilla, lived in and ruled from the Alcazar. Pedro embarked upon a complete rebuilding of the palace, employing workmen from Granada and utilising fragments of earlier Moorish buildings in Sevilla, Cordoba and Valencia. We walked around but we didn't go into the palace as there was a fee and we had already paid to enter. We weren't going to pay again, so we visited the gardens which were really huge. There were gardens upon gardens. Quite nice.
After that, we walked around and had lunch at this little restaurant Bar Europa. I didn't have sangria but the other 2 did. Mum went a bit weird and started talking funny. haha. Then we went back to the hotel.
Had dinner at the chinese restaurant we had take-aways from yesterday.
