bonito

Here are a few of my favourite shots from when I was in Sevilla. The little rays of sunlight streaming down on to the colourful buildings created such a lovely atmosphere. The girls told us that it was probably the worst weekend weather wise they have had since being there. But for Claire and I, it was wonderful - so much warmer then Scotland. Although not captured in photos we were able to go jacket-less most of the time we were there. I was even able to wear a sundress one day!

Cathedral
This is the largest and highest cathedral in Spain, the largest Gothic building in the world, and the world's third largest church. Here is a little history lesson for you regarding the cathedral: After Ferdinand III captured Sevilla from the Moors in 1248, the mosque (that once stood here) was reconsecrated to the Virgin Mary and used as a Christian cathedral. But in 1401 the people of Sevilla decided to pull down the old mosque, leaving only its minaret and outer court, an built the existing building to match the greatness of their city - a remarkable feat for the time.
