Ange and Ginny's visit gave us the perfect opportunity for a long overdue second visit to Sevilla.
The route from Olvera is quite easy and approximately seventy five minutes after leaving we were parking in an underground car park next to the Bullring.
Sevilla is a beautiful city of tree lined avenue's, parks, fountains and statues, the one pictured above outside the bullring.
The Torre del Oro, on the banks of the River Guadalquivir, built in 1220 by the Moors as part of the city walls, now housing the Maritime Museum.
Looking down the Avenida de la Constitución towards the Cathedral.
Plaza Nueva, a very pleasant square at the end of the Avenida de la Constitución where the Ayuntamiento is located.
With the aid of our trusty tourist map we were working our way into one of the oldest parts of the city, the Barrio de Santa Cruz, a maze of cobbled streets and alleyways.
The fountain in the Plaza Don Juan de Austria.
Walking past one of the many parks, we noticed a fiesta going on called the Feria de Las Naciones ( Fair of Nations) so we wandered in to have a look.
There were many casetas and stalls featuring food and products from around the world. Pictured right is presumably a delicacy of Galicia, Northern Spain, octopus.
Australia were doing well, dishing out the amber nectar "Foster's".
We thought Argentina was a little expensive so in the end we settled for a snack in Colombia instead.
Leaving the park we headed toward the Plaza de España, a beautiful semi-circular plaza built to house the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929.
Ceramic tiled panels around the Plaza depict towns and regions of Spain.
While we were there a bride and groom were having their weddings pictures taken.
The wedding car.
Another of the numerous fountains we passed before heading back along the river to the bullring and home.
