Slept until 9am this morning after my late night last night. So café was ready when I ventured out the door. I had some plain yogurt that they kept in the hostal refrigerator for me last night, some tostado and café. Then I got ready to go to the Alacazar. It was very interesting and the gardens were beautiful. Apparently they have a light and water show in the gardens at night that is supposed to be really cool. So I'm going to try to see that tonight.
I was going to see another Palace with a garden, but I was so tired after hiking up and down the towers and exploring the gardens that I had some lunch and took a nap. Now I'm just kicking back and icing my knee, hip, and back. Tomorrow I leave for Seville. It's Catedral though an impressive Gothic structure doesn't have any of the mosque left, just the patio of oranges, which was apparently present in every mosque back in the day. However, the Alacazar in Seville has more Moorish flavor than the one in Córdaba which has more Roman flavor.
Well I got all dressed and walked to the Alcazar to see the light and water show only to get to the gate and be told it was closed to the public tonight because of a special event. I was disappointed, but not surprised. While I was touring the gardens today I saw them setting up for a special event with tablecloths and a stage. I wondered if the whole thing would be closed or just an area. I asked the ticket sales person what time they would start selling tickets for tonight's show and she said 8:30. I asked the guard if it would be open tonight and he said yes. I still had a hunch it might not be and it wasn't. Oh well.
Tomorrow I head for Seville and there are lots of things to see and do. So I'm going to sleep. I want to be bright and bushy tailed tomorrow.
