Hi Kathy, yes I am down your way. You’ll probably spot me somewhere one of these days! Yes Seville may be a good one to go to at the end of the season as it cools a little and isn’t so busy. To be honest though, other than the queues at the main attractions we weren’t surrounded by crowds so it was fine walking around. X

In reply to Julie Atherton. Thanks Julie, so glad you'll add Seville to your list of places to go. It's so worth it! Tilda has settled in so well thanks. Ivy had her first day this morning and was very excited. x

In reply to Janine. Yes I know what you mean about the horses. We went with the ones that were being kept in the shade away from all the hustle and bustle, and the route was actually quite shady too through the gardens. The driver also stopped at the water stations for our horse. There are however a lot that are in the main square next to the Cathedral that are out in the sun so I hope they move them to the shade throughout the day. All the horses I saw were in good shape too and looked well looked after though but there's always exceptions xx

In reply to Denise Hales. Yes it was very like the Alhambra Palace in Granada, we went there about 6 years ago and it was beautiful. The gardens are very different at the Alcazar though so do add it to your list. Let me know if you ever go!x

Wow what a fantastic blog Katie, yes we will visit Seville one day it looks amazing. So nice to see the places to visit rather than just ones sat on a beach ! Probably go out of season though to avoid the crowds.
I think ive mentioned it before but i live not far from the beach near Poole, but have never seen you out and about.
Hope your children enjoy their new schools, i’m sure they will.

Katy, yes you have sold it to me. It looks and sounds like a beautiful place to visit.
Thank you for sharing your holiday with us.
I hope Tilda has settled into her new school and she is enjoying it, I I send Ivy best wishes for when she starts school.

I was lucky enough to spend five days in Seville last year. The photos look great. We got some fantastic insider tips from the hotel staff regarding the tapas bars. The food was fantastic. Were the horses ok? It upset me when I saw the horses in Seville in the heat pulling the carts and tourists around. When I was there they were definitely worked hard and had little respite from the heat and were trotting round the city continuously until late at night. Poor things.

Hi Katy, oh yes I have definitely put Seville on my list after reading this blog. It sounds amazing I felt like I was there with you. To be honest it is a place that was on our must visit list but haven’t got round to yet. I must rectify that now. The Alcazar looks stunning and quite similar to the Alhambra Palace in Granada – I’m not sure if you’ve visited there?
I’d recommend it if you haven’t.
Just watching you on the Diamonique shows looking
to treat myself!!
Welcome back.
