Seville

Ed and I were up much earlier than Mitchell and Brina. We had a quick brekky and checked out the local market. They have some great produce and I almost wish we had cooking facilities in the hotel.

Breakfast - coffee and toasted sandwiches.

Market

Partridges, pigeons and Peter Rabbit!

Great cakes!

Went back grabbed kids and headed to the Cathdral. It is one of the oldest in Europe as well as being one of the largest. We spent a couple of hours enjoying all of the chapels, tower and treasures. It was amazing!

Oranges, oranges, oranges!

We were all in need of some refreshments headed off to lunch. We had tapas at Oriza. Lovely food and wine. Yummy!

Brina feeling way too grown up.

Tapas - croquettes

Veal with goat cheese sauce.

Pork cheeks.

We had full bellies again so made a move to visit the Alcazar. Had to line up for a little while bit it was worth it. It is a magnificent building with beautiful gardens. 

Ed admiring a weaving of an old map that included Portugal.

Went home for a 30 minute refresher then off for tapas again. On the way we encountered the festa of the Three Kings. 

Prawn and Octopus salad.

They repeated the same street parade from Friday - festa of the Kings. The kids dressed up and travelled on floats. Lollies were flung everywhere!
