Tiled out in Alcazar, Seville, Spain

Yes, tiled out as in tired out.
Seville’s Alcazar is a castle, a fortress, a museum, a multitude of gardens and home to the Royals when they are in town. Us regular folk are allowed in to swoon over this property which was founded in 913 for the Córdoba governors of Seville. The rest of it was primarily built in the 1300’s which was supposedly the dark ages but these folks obviously were not partaking in the dark ages. The place is stunning. When touring the castle and a variety of small museum rooms you start your education with tile making 101 and by the time you hit the exit you’re in graduate school.

Ceiling, I forgot what room.

After cruising around the reception rooms, bedrooms, salons, patios and stair cases you’re ready to hit the gardens and patio’s.

The gardens have sweet names like “Jardin de la Danza” (Garden of the Dance), “Jardin de la Labyrinths” (Hedge Maze) and “Ladies Garden” they feature mature landscaping, and have hired Edward Scissors Hand to do the bushes, I think Martha Stewart was around the corner planting roses. The gardens are magnificent and you can wander around all day as long as you don’t get tiled out. House Hunters International anyone? Bring your check book.
