Seville was significantly hotter than Cordoba or Granada which made the rooftop pool an even bigger attraction for the kids than the city itself.

Photos: Flamenco show at the Flamenco museum in Seville. Before attending the show, we had an authentic tour and learned about the history of Flamenco and how it originated with gypsies; our tour was given by none other than an American gal who was studying abroad for 6 months!
Photos: The Alcázar of Seville (Spanish "Reales Alcázares de Sevilla" or "Royal Alcazars of Seville") is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, originally a Moorish fort.
The palace is one of the best remaining examples of mudéjar architecture. The upper levels of the Alcázar are still used by the royal family as the official Seville residence and are administered by the Patrimonio Nacional.

Photo: With Jacob, Holden, and Sofie from SYA. In Fred Flinstone style, Jacob gave us an extra boost and pushed the bike-cart from behind while running.
After our bike ride around the beautiful Maria Luisa park. The park is designed in a mix of 1920's Art Deco and mock Mudejar by the architect, Anibal Gonzalez. Scattered about and round the edge are more buildings from the 1929 fair, built in the last months before the Wall Street crash.
Photo: The beautiful Plaza de España across from Maria Luisa park. Plaza de España was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929.
