After breakfast, the group starts out on a lenghty walking tour of Seville.

The Group was then to go into the Cathedral. There was a very long queue and frankly, I have seen enough churches in my time. So I decided to rest in a cafe across the street while they waited in the queue and then toured the Cathedral.

Naturally I ordered a Sangria

There were a large number of horse and buggies giving tourist rides. In the time I spent there waiting I did not see one get a customer.

After the tour ended, exactly one Sangria long, we walked to one of the many restaurants for lunch.

A very impressive lunch and along with last night’s dinner means I am getting a better impression of Spanish food than I have in the past. That night nothing was formally scheduled but we go out to four Tapas bars.

There was a bullfight on the television in the background but I would not watch it.
