To pick up where I left off, last Thursday we visited La Catedral here in Sevilla, the LARGEST gothic cathedral in the world. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Within the cathedral we got to see the burial site of Christopher Columbus which was SO cool! After the tour, we had some free time to climb the 343 feet to the top of La Giralda (the bell tower). Seeing the entire city of Sevilla from above was absolutely breathtaking.
Saturday we visited the Archeological Museum which my friends and I were not too interested in as you may notice below...
After the museum, we visited La Plaza de America where we fed the doves. This was by far my favorite part of the day! So fun.
Later that night, we had a wonderful dinner with the UGA Cadiz group on the roof of the hotel Dona Maria. It was a stunning view and some great memories were made!
The following day, we headed to Cordoba, a beautiful city located on the banks of the Guadalquivir river. It was definitely a sight to see. We took a tour of the city itself which was lovely, but the best part of the visit was touring La Mezquita, the ancient mosque located in the heart of the city. The history behind the construction and preservation of the mosque is interesting, to say the least.
All in all, it has been a fabulous two weeks here in Sevilla. Tomorrow a new journey begins as I head to London for the weekend! Prayers for safe travels would be appreciated! Thanks for reading.
