After the race on Sunday nothing much happened. Some Athletes started to pack and go home others went back to the hotel and relaxed. That night was the athlete banquet which was non eventful.
The next morning we got up and caught a bus up to Seville, Leo and I were staying an extra few days to do some sight seeing. I figured instead of describing every tourist thing I would post some photos with a minor description. Click on the photos to make them larger, click on the links to gather more information from Wikipedia on the sights.
1. Plaza de Espana where people gather for street vendors.
2. The Sevilla Tour Bus, double decker.
3. Basilica de la Macarena, during Roman Times this was the only way to enter and exit the city of Seville.
1. View of the Courtyard of La Giralda.
2. The tower of La Giralda, the oldest Cathedral in Seville. You can also find the tomb of Christopher Columbus here.
3. View of Seville from the tower of La Giralda.
1. View inside of a bull fighting ring, built in 1794.
2. Outside of the Plaza de toros, the bull fighting ring.
3. Nat, Leo and myself with the bull ring in the background.
1. Torre del Oro, a watch tower constructed in the 13th century. Constructed for military function along one of the largest rivers in south Spain.
2. View from the watch tower. You can see La Giralda in the background.
3. Leo coming down the stairs in the tower, 91 stairs to be exact.
This is a collection of cool things that I wanted to share but only had one photo of each and didn't fit in the above sequences of photos.
1. Watch tower over the Plaza de Espana.
2. Duff Beer, world famous in Spain.
3. Leo and I in front of a monument in the Murallas del Alcazar park.
The one thing that we didn't get to see inside of was the Alcazar Castle or Royal Palace. We saw the outside of it, but when we went to go in it was closed. Since it is off season for tourists it has limited visiting hours, which we were unaware of. Here is a link to the castle anyway.
I hope you enjoyed your tour of Seville, Spain.
