A Bunch of Pictures From The Alcazar

Contrary to popular rumor, the place was NOT built by some dude named King Al Cazar.

Okay, so these first few photos are NOT of the

Alcazar.  This is a Roman mausoleum.

Mercado Victoria

The Almodovar Gate into the City.

A Roman column, as part of 

some random restaurant.

A narrow street in the Jewish

Quarter.  Those people

wouldn't move, so I had to 

just take the picture.

The bell tower for the Mezquita.

The straw window shades do double duty.

They keep the cold air out in the winter, and

in the summer they are sprayed with water

to help act as air conditioning.

Now THIS is the Alcazar.

A good look back at the Alcazar.

Columbus: Got any spare cash?

King/Queen: Let us check our pockets.

Photo bombs are a thing, apparently.
