This morning the hostel had organised a walking tour of the city. So for the next 2 hours I followed the guide around the city and tried to remember all the information she told us. The hi-lighted of the tour was approaching Plaza de Espana. Here there is a huge semi-circular building, a large fountain and a canal. It was built in 1929. There is heaps of tile work, quite colourful.

It was now siesta time, need a rest, its a bit too hot to be outside and all the shops were shut. Relaxed at the apartment for a while and then went to the Alcazar. The Alcazar is near the cathedral and is where many kings and rulers lived.
