Sevilla 2024 - Alcázar II

We went back to the Alcázar, and were very glad we did! 



















After our visit, we stopped for a late lunch, then more takeout for dinner later, and back home!

On our first trip, we had no idea of what to expect, no plan for how to get around, and the one map we had (a photo of the layout at the entrance) didn't show which sections (and routes) were closed off 🤪. We wasted our feet one (1) standing in line and (2) backtracking

This time, we had a downloaded map - it had a little more detail, but still didn't indicate what was below ground, up stairs, or closed off. But, we knew where we had been before and some of what we had missed. 

We also knew which tickets to buy, and found out that we could enter on our timed tickets 15 minutes early until 30 minutes late. So, once we knew when we were leaving, we bought the tickets for the next hour - bingo! No line to buy, and the line to get in was so short and fast, that we didn't even have time to unfold the chair!

Biggest tip: in the far corner of #13 (yellow area), there are stairs going down (to the underground cavern and pool), and up (to the tapestry rooms, in the orange area). It's easy to miss...

I added today's photos to the Sevilla 2024 Alcázar album.
