Originally a Moorish fort, Alcázar derives its name from the Arabic word for "fort." (All Spanish words that begin with "al-," roughly translated as "the," have Arabic origins. Think of the English word "algebra.") Since its founding in A.D. 913, the Alcázar has undergone numerous renovations by both Muslim & Christian residents. This explains the appearance of Gothic elements in what was once an entirely Moorish structure.

After visiting Alcázares Reales, we walked to La Plaza de España. While my friends enjoyed their first visit to the Plaza, I discovered a balcony I hadn't climbed to the first time around.
New photos at the end of the album.
Nos vemos, Le <3.
