Seville, Spain including Plaza de Espana, the Seville Cathedral, the Real Alcazar, the Jewish sector, a Flemenco dance, the Roman ruins at Italica and a Bull Fight.

24 - 29 July 2004

In the summer of 2004 my wife (Daria) and I went to Seville, Spain, to spend ten days with our friends from Strausburg, France (Anne-Marie and Rodolphe Ledrich). On the way there we spent 33 hours in London, and then flew onto Spain.

Once in Seville we saw the Plaza de Espana, the Seville Cathedral, the Real Alcazar, the Jewish sector, a Flemenco dance, the Roman ruins at Italica and a Bull Fight.

After four days in Seville we went on a roadtrip of Adulusia, including Cardoba, Ronda, Gilbralter, Cadiz, and Jerez with a side trip to Tangers, Morraco.

Here are the photos from our stay in Seville:

In 1929 Seville hosted the Spanish-American Exhibition. A number of buildings were built for the exhibition in the Maria Luisa Park; on the parks edge was built the current Plaza de Espana, which, at the time, showcased Spain's industry and technology exhibits. It also was used in the filming of the 2nd "Star Wars" Episode where you can watch the young "Luke" and the "Princes" walking over the bridge and along the corridors of Plaza de Espana buildings

You can click on any of the thumbnails to go to a frame-by-frame gallery at a slightly larger size. In the frame-by-frame gallery, clicking the picture takes you to the next one.

The windows were single pain, but in a wood surround that had an inside shutter. When closed it made the inside rooms very dark

The owners were thinking about replacing them with double pain windows. It would keep the rooms better insolated, but loose some of the character of the residence.
