My palace

Casa de Pilatos
I found my palace. Casa de Pilatos. It's a stunning palace in Seville with peaceful gardens, meandering fountains, mosaic tiles covering most of the walls and an ancient decaying aesthetic. I love it because it's small (too much palace is not a good thing) and I could really feel how life was lived there in the 16th century. Evidentially the family lived in the palace until the 1970s and now it's run by their foundation.

We also went to the Cathedral today which is truly an arresting gothic masterpiece but slightly overwhelming. Christopher Columbus is buried there in a crypt fitting the legend that surrounds him.

We're off to Granada via train.
