Sevilla - Day 2: Casa de Pilatos and Las Setas

Saturday, 6 December 

Casa de Pilatos revisited. Casa Pilatos is the Andalusian palace in Seville, which serves as the permanent residence of the Dukes of Medinaceli. The building is a mixture of Renaissance Italian and Mudéjar Spanish styles.

We loved this place a lot last time we visited Seville and therefore decided to revisit. Enchanting place, not as large and crowded as the Alcazar and therefore a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the patio, the tiles, the statues, arches and gardens. We stayed quiet a while there and of course made too many photos. Showing a few.

Something different and new and not existing last time we visited Seville are 'Las Setas'; translated 'The Mushrooms'.
Yes they look like giant mushrooms indeed. As it's fiesta in Seville it was very busy with lots of families strolling around the Xmas market. 
Peter bought me a Xmas gift: a lovely necklace pendant, which looks like a Miro painting. 
A futuristic looking elevator brought us to the top floor of Las Setas, where we enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with drinks. 
Our stroll over the roof gave great views of the city.

It's definitely Fiesta in town ^-^
Photos made on and around Plaza Neuva

Very late dinner at Restaurant San Marco, we are already getting used to Spanish dinner time. Especially the risotto with truffles was yummy, although it doesn't look very fancy on the picture the taste was super. The restaurant is situated in former twelfth-century Arab baths.
