Our hotel was near the Cathedral, so we had a look at in the evening after we arrived from Cadiz. * |

|
The next morning, we went to visit the Alcazar. * |

We enjoyed re-visiting the Baths of Doña Maria, secluded under the main building. † |

We walked to Plaza de España, built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It looked rather deserted and unhappy. * |
 |
|
* |
 |
|
There were alcoves illustrating each region of Spain. * |
 |
|
* |
 |
|
The tourist horse-drawn carriages were not attracting much attention. * |
 |
|
The next day was damp, but we set off for Plaza de la Encarnation, where a planned major redevelopment of an old market site had been cancelled when substantial archaeological remains were found there. Instead, there was a modest rebuilding of the market, topped with these extraordinary wooden "mushrooms". * |

There are good view of Sevilla from on top. The Cathedral is in the background. * |
 |
|
* |
 |
|
The market at ground level was new and clean, with the usual fresh produce. * |
 |
|
* |
 |
|
* |
 |
|
We also went to the Museo de Bellas Artes. As we approached it, we realised that we had seen it the previous visit to Sevilla but, as admission was only €1.50, we decided to visit again. * |

The Museum is in a disused convent, and the ex-church has this glorious dome. * |
 |
|
We had lunch at Robles Laredo restaurant, on the main square. It had good tapas dishes ... * |
 |
|
and desserts to die for. * |
