My favorite Moorish place in Spain, apart from the Mesquita, is Seville's Alcazar, its castle/palace dating back centuries, to Moorish times, then Ferdinand and Isabella, and still now one of the royal residences. This was our third, and I hope not last, visit.

In the exhibit of 19th century fans |

Famous old painting, Columbus depicted to Mary's left, blond
guy |
|
Incredible tiles everywhere |
|
In a tile special exhibit |
|
But it's the Moorish architecture that captivates |
|
Also the gardens |
|
Castle and lion, again |
|
Huge, gnarly old tree |
|
Peacock in the restaurant |
|
Tallest bougainvilla ever, so far |
|
I can never get enough of this scene, the
princess' baths |
|
Conquerors get the last word, right? |
