After a meal we wandered some more. We also saw this shop selling pastel de Nada from Portugal! They are egg custard inside pastry that you sprinkle cinnamon on. We bought two and later during our stay in Sevilla bought another six. A great reminder of a previous trip to Portugal.
Another side of the cathedral. More on that on another post.
We made our way to the river and saw a recreation boat from the time of Columbus. It offered tours onboard but we declined and instead ate our pastel.
We stayed here for about 30 minutes watching the world go by and looking at the community of Triana across the river.
The Torre del Oro lighthouse made by the Almohad caliphate to control access to Sevilla, built in the 13th century.
The Archive of the Americas. All documents about the New World were stored here and many of those documents are still here. The archive is UNESCO designated.
The Gateway of the Lion, entrance to the Real Alcazar of Sevilla.
The walls of the Alcazar will take us to the Barrio de Santa Cruz, otherwise known as the old Jewish quarter or Juderia.
