These pictures of the city were taken at the top of the Giralda in the Cathedral. It's the highest point in Seville, you can almost always see it from anywhere in the city.

la catedral
The Cathedral in Seville is one of the three largest in the world and it is the largest gothic Cathedral. It takes up 11,520 square metres...pretty big! The first picture is the bones of Christopher Columbus. Well...maybe....there are two other places that also claim to have his bones. The other pictures are outside of the Cathdral. It is in the center of the city, so I walk by here almost everyday.
Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day)
Spaniards celebrate Three Kings Day on Jan. 6th. There are lots of parades and the tradition is that the three kings bring gifts to the children the next morning (you have to leave out your shoes!) The first picture is Baltazar, the black king (Here the kings have names, two of them are white, one is black. Who knew?). The second picture is all of the candy that was in the streets after the parade came through. I still have candy stuck on my shoes!!
