day 8











a good day to leave Albufeira -heavy winds and rain - for Seville!
In Sandy' words 'At at this point definitely the most beautiful city I have seen'. Georgeous as if somone had archites=cturally planned eveything over the centuries. Went to the Seville cathedral, it made Sandy cry - the largest gothic church in the world/ 3rd in Europe. Every inch of the church had some marvel to behold - wooden carved housing for the organ, silver and gold alter, walls adornedwith paintings from artists over many centuries. The churchs origins date from the 1100's until it was "Christianized" 150 yrs later.
On to Ronda tommorrow, overnighting in Cartijema - an amazing centuries old village, the hostel dates back 100's of years and its doorstep originates from a piece of Roman column, and last but not least our hosts at the hostel 'El Refugio' - Botz and Peter adding charm, laughs and insights to our journey
