Day 5: June 14, 2024
Time to visit Sevilla!!!
So we took the bus to go downtown to Plaza de España, a semi circular building built for the international exhibition held in Sevilla in 1929, in front of Queen Maria Louisa garden, embraced by this semicircle of countries invited to this international event. As a curiosity, it's good to mention that this place has been used later in different movies such as Lawrence the Arb or more recent ones resembling planet Naboo in Star Wars!
Then we got into Pilate's house, full again of richly decorated rooms showing the power this country had once, and how rich it was due to the discoveries, and after that we got into the Jewish quarter, where we had a short break before getting into the Cathedral.
In this cathedral is where Christopher Columbus gravesite is kept, and It's the largest Catholic cathedral in the world, the third largest one after the Vatican and st Paul's in London.
Right after the visit, free time for lunch, shopping, fun... Then we decided it was a great time to enjoy learning about the Flamenco culture, so we visited the museum of the Flamenco outfit and finally, ready for the evening event: Flamenco music show!!
