Like the Alhambra in Granada, the Alcazar in Sevilla is an awesome experience, and offers great views of the cathedral as well. More

Beautiful buildings and gardens, although rather crowded. The small restaurant in the garden has a perfect airco to cool down from a hot visit to the gardens! More

We enjoyed seeing the Alcazar which is a must visit, the decorative interiors are lovely though I found the gardens in a rather disappointing shape. The Alhambra gardens receive much better care. More
