Walking Around and on to the Rooftops of the Seville Cathedral
Seville
Strava says we walked over 30 kilometres today, and on the one hand I find that hard to believe, but on the other hand I do believe it. We walked and walked and walked.
Our first goal was Royal Alcázars of Seville, one of the oldest palaces still in use. The upper stories of the Alcázar are used by the Spanish royal family when they are in Seville. Goal number two was the train station, to get some firm information about bikes and trains in Spain. We were able to accomplish both those things in the morning.

Over a Sangria stop though, it became clear that we needed to add another must do to the list. A dentist for Keith. There has been a problem for some time now, and it really was necessary to get things looked at. Some internet research and more walking, and we found a dentist that was absolutely wonderful to us. She was kind, professional and took him in without an appointment immediately. We now have a diagnosis, a prescription for antibiotics and he should be good until we get home, when things will have to be dealt with. As a result, I had paella for dinner, and Keith had a milkshake. I don’t actually think that worried him too much!

The highlight of the day though was a roof top tour of the Cathedral. It was absolutely astonishing. The views of course, and the privilege of being the only people in the Cathedral, but the real treat was learning how they actually accomplished the feat of building these magnificent structures back in the day. We have always found that hard to comprehend.
