In my last post I mentioned the hugely impressive gardens of the Real Alcazar - what a treat they were, I really wish that I could share the scent of the myrtle and the orange trees along with these photos - it was intoxicating.
Palm and orange trees against the blue sky of Al Andalus...
Sweeping vistas...
The building on the left is a wedding pavilion, built by the King for his bride...
It was a very warm day, 21 degrees Celsius, so a shady part of the garden was a very welcome place for a little sit down and a rest...
These beautiful fellows are really quite tame...
Some amazing flowers and plants...
Running water everywhere, the engineering of supplying water to the population of a large city was something the Moorish designers put in place a thousand years ago, amazing...
Truly an amazing place to visit, absolutely magical - probably the best gardens I have ever visited (and that is saying something as I have been blessed to visit some very special gardens).
Hopefully back soon with our visit to the Catedral and our climb of the Giralda Tower!
