Sevilla day 2











Relaxing in the room after a long walk in the cold Sevilla city










The Torre del Oro (Spanish for "Gold Tower") is a military watchtower built in Seville, Spain during the Almohad dynasty in order to control access to Seville via the Guadalquivir river.




Today the tower is a naval museum, containing engravings, letters, models, instruments, and historic documents. The museum outlines the naval history of Seville and the importance of its river


































































































Take a relaxing cruise along the legendary Guadalquivir River. The former capital of Spain hugs the east bank of the Guadalquivir and a river cruise is one of the best ways to view its splendid monuments and learn more about its colourful history.
