Visiting Seville under a deluge

At a time when it had not rained in Andalusia for over 6 months, today was time for deluge! Literally a game changer and its under severe and sustained rainstorm that our group undertook the visit of the Santa Cruz area of Seville, in fact its historical center, interlaced with tiny streets, ornate iron work and typical patios. 

We toured the Alcazar and its splendid garden surrounded a fortified palace in the heart of town. We went on with touring the cathedral, the third largest in the world, climbed the horse-ramp of its minaret-tower to catch a 360 degree spectacular glimpse of the entire city and also visited its museum and treasures.

As the rain abated, the afternoon was spent visiting the historical center of town and its symmetrical and impressive Royal Palace. The evening offered us a two-hour Flamenco show with great artists, dancing and music.
