Our last day in Sevilla consisted of visiting the Real Alcázar, a royal palace. This place is renowned as being one of the most beautiful places in Spain. To be honest, when I went inside, I had severe cathedral/castle fatigue, so it didn’t look as impressive as the La Alhambra. But, after wandering around this UNESCO World Heritage site, it was indeed beautiful. It was also really cool to go here because while we were in Sevilla, Game of Thrones Season 5 had filmed at the Real Alcázar.

Hall of Ambassadors
Unfortunately, after lasting the entire trip, my camera battery ran out. All lackluster photos you see throughout my blog are probably from my phone.
The gardens on location were on point. I actually enjoyed the greenery more than the architecture. Sadly, I don’t have many pictures of the gardens, but I guess you’ll just have to go see for yourself.
Water organ inside the gardens that plays on the o’clock. I didn’t get to hear it, but it’s one of the oldest water organs in existence that still works.
After saying goodbye to Sevilla, we drove a couple of hours north to the city of Córdoba for the last leg of our trip. It has been estimated that in the 10th century under Islam rule, Córdoba was the most populous city in the world and the center of Islam education also.
Córdoba (Roman bridge)
Frankly, we were all exhausted when we got to Córdoba, not to mention it was getting dark, so we didn’t really pay attention to where we were going. Highlights included Calleja de las Flores, Calahorra Tower, Roman Temple of Córdoba, and the Plaza de Potro (where the building Posada del Potro is and was mentioned in the book Don Quixote).
Calahorra Tower
Our teachers took us to a plaza that served as the city square and told us that on the o’clock people would come out and sing in the bell tower, but they didn’t show.
Afterwards, we were told to eat dinner and find our way back to the hotel by ourselves (of course). I opted for food to-go and went back early to the room to rest up and pack.
