Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar Trip 2024 - Day 8 - Seville

Finally, we arrived in Seville and started sightseeing for a couple of hours. 

Torredel Oro a military watch tower in Seville.

Very common to see horse carriage in Seville.

Rows and rows of oranges along the streets in Seville but too bad the oranges are for visuals only not tasty and suitable for consumption.

Many colourful buildings and they remind me of the buildings in Macau.

La Giralda - bell tower of Seville Cathedral.

Local guide gives very good history about Seville.

Remains of Christopher Columbus located inside Seville Cathedral. Only 20% of his remains are in there. DNA analysis confirm the remains belongs to Christopher Columbus.

After visit of the Cathedral, we exited out to the streets where rows of colourful buildings greeted us.

Will be nice to sit, relax and dine, listen to the music and enjoyed the local atmosphere and mood.  Too bad we have to follow the tour group.

Time to end the tour and head for dinner, a very long day out on Day 8.

Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar Trip 2024 - Day 7 - Lisbon (Part 3) - Sintra village and Rossio Square and peri peri chicken dinner

Sintra Village is charming portuguese town situated on the hill with the castle in the background. It is classified as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Lovely to walk along the narrow alleys with shops and restaurants. Great place for good photography.

Next visit was Rossio Square - Pedro IV Square , one of the main squares in Lisbon. There's a christmas market and many branded shops. Spotted Hard Rock cafe in this square and we quickly did some shopping before heading for dinner.

Happy to settle for some peri peri chicken for dinner after a long day out sight seeing. Extremely tired lol.
