The weather turned wet and caused havoc in southern Med Spain where we had spent so much time. It was wet here in Rota too but after a drink in the Honey Don`t Cry bar we opted for a visit to Seville.
An early morning ie dark departure by bus was a challenge, especially as the sun does not rise here until about 0820. However we were glad we did it as Seville was well and truelly worth the effort, even in the rain.
We especially enjoyed the area of the old city around the cathedral and the Real Alcazar, the old Moorish/Spanish royal palace.
Beautiful gardens
From the cathedral tower the gardens seen were built when it was a mosque.
The famous bullring
A maze of fascinating streets and shops.
Tapas bars
And lunch in a restaurant where the brave fighting bulls were preserved.
On return to Rota we began further checks for a departure to Rabat in Morocco, having decided that we had run out of time and weather for further exploration of the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
