Sevilla, Spain 11.19.07

Renfe Train Station

Giralda Cathedral, 2nd or 3rd largest in Europe (depending on which guide book you read).


Barrio Santa Cruz. "Kissing Lanes" as they are named because they are so narrow the building kiss each other. From our hotel balcony I could easily touch the balcony railing of the building opposite. Another lane was barely 3' across. Like Granada and Cordoba, the unusually compressed fabric helps in the hot summers, providing shade. Some areas had much more color which makes the lanes even more cozy, perhaps claustrophobic to some. This is opposed to the white washed stucco in Granada and Cordoba which reflects a lot more light on the street.

Plaza de Espanya

Moneo's airport
