| A Renaissance frieze at the Museo |
We split up today to see different things. David and Cheri went out with their friend Jess; Lesley, David, Kathryn, Robbie and Grandma went shopping and we went to the
Museo de Bellas Artes. We went by taxi beside the river and into an area of the old city.

| The ceiling of the Museo Bella Artes |
The building was a work of art in itself with high ceilings and decorative rooms. On the ground floor we saw early Renaissance art by
Spanish artists and upstairs we saw later Baroque works. The Spanish 17th century artist
Murillo was featured there.There were also some interesting views of the old city of Seville at carnival time.

| Arroz Iberico at the lunchtime bar |
We spent over an hour there, and then contacted the others about lunch. We eventually tracked them down in a bar in
Calle Zaratoga, where we had beer and
arroz iberico. It was Kathryn's last day in Seville and we said goodbye to her. We went back to the hotel to rest and read books.

| Kathryn found a lovely shawl as a souvenir |
In the evening we went for our last meal in the same street, Zaratoga, but this time at a traditional restaurant,
Taberna El Alabardero. We opted for the tasting starter selection of several small dishes, followed by a choice from the
a la carte selection. I went for the corvino or sea bass. We also had nice wines, a Botani '13 Moscatel white and a Taberner 2010 Syrah.
We managed to find taxis back to the hotel but were running out of small change.
