Day 10, Sevilla photos

Before we show today's photo, we'd like to show what we saw yesterday afternoon.
Eduardo took us to the Spanish Pavilion, a building constructed for the 1929 Latin-America Fair,
which is the highlight of Plaza Espana.

The Spanish Pavilion with azulejo tiles
depicting historical scenes and maps of every province in Spain, from A to Z.

On Granada province, it shows the Alhambra on top of a hill, as well as
depicting the Moorish king surrendering to Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon.

On Huelva province, the tiles depicting Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos in Huelva.

Another view of the Spanish Pavilion. It really is a timeless building, will always be appreciated.

A wedding party from China, in front of the Spanish Pavilion.

An iron cross in the middle of a square, which gives Sevilla's Jewish Quarter its name,
Barrio de Santa Crus. The man in sunglasses was our Sevilla local guide.

The houses and alleys of Sevilla's Jewish Quarter looked similarly to Toledo's and Cordoba's.

A gift shop selling flamenco figurines.

The Cathedral of Sevilla.

  
The bell tower, converted from a Moorish minaret from which Muslims were called to prayer.

A close up of the Cathedral's exterior.

A snap shot of an area of the enormous Cathedral.

A fountain outside the Cathedral.

In Alcazar, the Royal Castle. This is a courtyard.

In Alcazar. This one looks just like the Court of Myrtles in Alhambra.

Sevilla's bull ring where once a real-life woman named Carman was murdered.
It probably was the basis of the story that eventually weaved into opera "Carman".

A female flamenco dancer spent 30 minutes with GCT members for Q & A before the show.

While she demonstrated, Eduardo explained what emotion each different pose tries to convey.

There was this female flamenco dancer .....  

.... and there were the rest of the flamenco dancers.
(The lone dancer in red in prior photo really stood out.)
