Below are photo diaries from my time in Seville, Spain. The city was absolutely beautiful and reminded me of a town in a fairytale book. I got to pet the various horses going around and got the chance to visit the Royal Palace of Alcazar, which, in my opinion, tops all the palaces I’ve visited, even Versailles. I was aware of the Moorish influence in Spain prior to my trip, but the tour completely surprised me (I even saw Arabic calligraphy on the palace walls). It was also really exciting, as a Game of Thrones fan, to see some of the rooms the show was filmed in.
