On the morning of the next day we stopped at the Alcázar, which is one of the most significant things to see in the city of Sevilla. We toured this and then caught the bus on to Granada, stopping along the way for lunch.
Here's the group getting assembled up to enter into the gardens.
Nice bit of hedge clipping, huh?
Lush.
The gardens here are huge and fantastically well maintained. This palace is still actively in use and is the oldest palace in Europe still in use. It was built in the 10th century by a Christian King, Pedro the Cruel, but was built in the Moorish fashion.
A beautiful view of the fountain and the park in the background.
Moslems always have moving water as part of the decor. This is the longest water spout I saw in the country.
Ferguson and the group inside the Alcazar.
Notice the beautiful Arabic artwork on this arch.
This was the hot baths located in the Alcazar.
Another view of another Ghiraldi Tower.
A beautiful scene in the gardens.
