Sizzling Sevilla

This is the magnificent Catedral Y Sevilla. It is the third largest church in the world after St Peter´s in Rome and St Paul´s in London. It is officially the largest Gothic edifice in the world (we saw the Guiness Book of World records certificate inside). It has 44 chapels and features the tomb of Christopher Columbus.

Sevilla is sizzling hot. It was 39deg when we took the photo. Our hotel told us that this is normal for June with the temperature rising to 45deg during July/Aug - ouch!!!

Other sites we visited included: the Real Alcazar (Royal Palace, built by the Moors in the 7th century and still used by the current royal family when in town), the Plaza De Espana (200m semi circular building dedicated to the 40 odd Spanish states) and the Bull Ring (which seats 13,000). Distance so far: 5,182 km.
