edificios...

Sevilla is home to the largest cathedral...floorspace in square meters, that is (at least the paper from Guinness in the cathedral said so). it is indeed large and impressive...although no Notre Dame. however, for any would-be adventurers, the nearby Reales Alcazares, residences for the royal family (should they ever decide to visit) is more impressive. the vast gardens, hidden away from the busy city by thick stone walls towering high above the sandy paths is a place of cool retreat. plus, it is gratis (free) with the student id card.
i enjoyed an illegal side trip in the garden; being the adventurous type i found a semi-hidden gate that was open into a basement passage that, unfortunately, lead nowhere but provided a few moments of excitement as i explored. it was also a nice escape into the cool from the hot sun.
