Sevilla
Today we visited the Archivo de Indias, the keeper of knowledge, the main repository of information on the discovery (and subsequent plundering as well I suspect) of the New World. There are many old manuscripts stored there, dating back to the days of Christopher Columbus.We then decided to stand at the end of the long queue for the Alcázar, it gets a bit shorter in the afternoons but was still pretty long. The Alcázar was surprisingly large inside with huge, beautiful garden areas and was definitely worth the visit. We later learnt that the gardens were used in some of the scenes in Game of Thrones this year.
