    Thank you Elle for the easy chair tour of Seville. I love looking at places I will probably never visit in person. Virtual tours are the next best thing! How many quilt patterns did you see with all the architectual wonders? I love the transportation vehicles, from old to new!
    Thanks for sharing!
    And there is more!

    You must remember that Spain has only started to become modern since the fall of Franco about 35 yrs ago. The Train Station is only 5 years old. I have to say it was one of the cleanest Cities I have ever been to.

    Lovely Elle, since I'm not likely to get there myself, it was really nice to see it through your eyes and camera. Thank you.
