Don't forget to check out my 3 other post below from my tour of Spain (we went to Madrid, Cordoba, Granada, and Sevilla). This post is of Sevilla, one of the prettiest cities in Spain. The streets are linedwith Orange trees, SO cool! Sevilla is home to the cathedral of Sevilla, and the Real Alcazar (An Islamic Palace).
A street lined with Orange trees! They weren't ripe yet though!

Another little fountain, with a pathway and an arch.
The organic gardens... with...
PEACOCKS!
