Our visit this week was to Santiponce which is about a 10 minute drive from Sevilla centre, we took a cab this time, Pepe and his car were not available. We took an Uber back, I’d never been in an Uber before, this was a nicer, cleaner car that made you feel like a friend was driving, no visible signage or meter.

We were dropped off at the Montasterio de San Isidoro del Campo - a very, very large former monastery. The chapels were huge and had gold laden alters. The ceilings were beautifully and delicately painted with patterns and images. Everything was big and ornate, beautiful and with no cost to enter I wondered how it was financed. They are also restoring further wings of it, Ryan and Angela said we saw only about half the entire building, driving past it later it certainly looked to be very much more property than what we saw inside.

Now for the pictures from Ryan and Angela, my camera is not producing the same quality, of course that could be just me...
It is difficult to portray in pictures or describe the size of this Monastery and the grandeur of it!
Part 2 next to Itálica
