Volta da Iberia: Sevilla

The train ride from Cordoba to Sevilla was short and pleasant, upon arriving i found the hostal i had booked a bed in the night before after a short while, took a shower while my clothes were being washing, and prepared my bicycle for a sunset ride around the old town. The city was bustling with activity well into the night, with people from all over the world perusing the shops, picking at the Tapas bars, and dining at the outdoor restaurants. It felt really nice to be in such a busy yet seemingly "friendly" city, if that makes sense. So i stayed out late, making it my mission to take some night photos as i had not taken that many the whole trip. The next morning i visited the Catedral as it is free from 8 to 10, there i saw and photographed Christopher Columbus' sarcophagus, and again, i sat and contemplated my journey for a couple of hours in the Catedral, the largest Baroque domed catedral in the world (maybe in Europe, but im fairly certain in the world, or at least i wrote it in my journal...oops again). I visited gardens galor, and another Muslim palace which was amazing. I took a tour of the oldest bull fighting arena in europe (maybe the world here too...) and rode a bit out of the way to see the bay where Christopher Columbus set sail for the new world. (as a side note, its interesting to point out that i have visited, quite accidentally, the place where he landed in the new world, Discovery Bay in Jamaica...interesting hmm...) So Sevilla was amazing and is one of the now many cities i could have spent plenty of more time in....however time was now getting short and i had to get over the Portugese border and start the journey to Lisbon...So two days in Sevilla and afterwards i was headed to Faro to take a train up to Lisbon. Here are some photos from my time in Sevilla...
