Today we had booked tickets to see the Real Alcazar, a Unesco-listed palace in Seville which is one of the main highlights of the city. It was very interesting, and we took a couple of hours looking around the palace, as well as the extensive gardens.
Whilst looking around the gardens we came across a camera crew filming for a TV programme so we sat on a wall with the other tourists to watch them filming.

We then went to view the El Salvador Church which is the 2nd largest church in Seville (after the Cathedral) and famous for its elaborate, baroque interior.
After lunch (tapas of course!) we did another free walking tour, this time of the Santa Cruz area, which is a former Jewish area of Seville. We were the only English speakers in the tour group so we had a guide to ourselves - he was a little under-confident with his English speaking but once we got walking and he started to feel comfortable he was a lot better, but did keep pronouncing his J as Y so kept referring it as the Yewish Quarter! It was a very interesting walk and he took us to places we hadn't been before in the area.
In the evening we went to an Italian restaurant to take a break from all the tapas we have been eating!
