Easter in Seville

The Pictures. Ciao Bella article to follow!

Ana and I stumbled across the first of many processions when we arrived in Malaga (the indirect route to Seville)



In and around the plazas of Barrio de Santa Cruz



One of the largest Cathedrals in the world. Note the Cathedral is built around the 12th century mosque.



The Giralda (the mosque's minaret)



Me sitting in Plaza Dona Elvira, a beautiful little square full of orange blossom trees. We always ended up wandering back through here. I could have bottled the scent in the air!



Horses for hire



Walking across to Triana you can see Seville's iconic bridge



Jill, Elizabeth, Ana & I inside the beautiful and serene Alcazar













On Easter Sunday, Jesus had risen on his float.



The band follows each float



Here comes the Virgin Mary weaving her way through the narrow streets. Note the locals hanging from the streets and the incense in the air.



The brotherhood switch from black to white.



Soaking up the sun on the rooftop terrace of EME hotel



Little streets in Barrio de Santa Cruz





Bar Europa. Excellent food.



A little more Islamic design at Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija... it reminded me so much of Morocco



Cathedral at dusk. We couldn't help ourselves - we had to go back to the rooftop terrace for a last drink.
