More update on Seville,  we enjoyed ourselves though the city is much too big for our liking.  Took the sightseeing bus again first thing in the morning and it was much more tolerable.  Visited the Cathedral, which is truly amazing, so vast and ornate.   Walked around a lot of the centre of town,seeing lots of street entertainers, horse carriages and different sections of town.

Now have spent two days in Granada and it is so much more fun.  Okay "Jill" our garmin GPS got  us lost and it took two hours longer circling around  and down the wrong way on a one way street,to find our hotel and parking but we made it!  Great hotel in center of things.  Spent the first afternoon sight seeing, the cathedral here is even more impressive than Seville.  Walked through the Jewish and gypsy sections.  Terry had fun bartering with the people.  Got a guided tour through the Alhambra, three hour walking tour that was very informative. It is so Hugh can not imaging visiting it without a guide.  To even get in you have to make reservations a month ahead of time.   Made friends with Arab named Mohamed (imagine that)who joined us for tapas.    Heading to Madrid tomorrow , then home. Have tons of photos but will take a few days to get them loaded and sorted. Will post more soon.
