We stayed in Seville in a very loud hotel room. We went shopping in El Corte Ingles, the best Department store ever! We bought lots of clothes and our christmas present. We also watched Flamenco dancers which was not as interesting as we expected. They dance really fast but the singing is not good.

We drove out to visit Cordoba which has an old cathedral which used to be a Mosque. Before the moors built their mosque, it was a Visigoth church. Now it looks muslim and catholic. It was huge and really interesting.

We also visited the Alcazar at Cordoba and saw the gardens and the old fortress.

We also visited Ronda which is a hill town and was the last city to become catholic. Before that it was moorish. It has a huge valley running through it and we visited a church, the Arabe Puente, the Arab baths (which were closed), the old palace gardens and the mines. Ronda is very pretty.
