Today was a leisurely day. During our trip in 2017 we visited the Alcazar, but not the cathedral. Today we went inside.
One of the first things we saw was the tomb of Christopher Columbus. It's weird--he was buried in a number of places and then moved. So he traveled both in life and death.
There are two women who kept showing up around the cathedral. They are Saints Justa and Rufina. They were potters from Seville which means they probably lived across the river in Triana. The first photo is a Goya painting. Then we saw them in a stained glass window and finally on an alter painting. I'm sure there were more images of them that we missed. It was fun looking for them.
We went for tapas and drinks on the terrace at the famous Alfonso XIII hotel. It was lovely.
On the way back to our hotel, we ran across a series of stalls--all with used books. When we got to the end, Steve spotted the sign for the book fair.
A very relaxing and fun day.
