This morning we slept quite late before having breakfast in the lobby of our hotel. Yesterday we had purchased passes for a City Tour Bus around important sites through the city of Seville. Today we boarded the bus for the tour complete with earphone commentary in English and Dutch.

We were then directed to the way to the Cathedral Giralda on the Aveneda de la Constitucion. Before arriving at the cathedral we visited a huge array of market stalls in an adjacent plaza. They all carried nativity crèches, figures in all sizes of animals, buildings, and landscape features for the people to use creating villages pertaining to the birth of Christ.

The visit to the cathedral revealed a huge structure containing a large pipe organ and numerous chapels. We intend to attend High Mass there on Sunday before returning to Vale do Lobo.

Torro de Oro was our place for lunch and tapas was our choice for food.

In the evening we walked back to the Cathedral, coming past another Christmas Market displaying gift items and more traditional fare. There I fell in love with clever bronze figures whose weight is used to hold open a book on display. I bought one from the sculptor who cast them. The entire night scene was of large crowds out shopping until about 11 PM and having a general good time.
