Lots of New World gold in the Magdalena church
Murillo in the Museo
Zurburan in the Museo
It was my day to be a tourist among the throngs here in Sevillla. I started with the Museo de Bellas Artes, which has the second largest collection of Spanish paintings (behind the Prado). Heavy on the locals Zurburan and Murillo, only one El Greco. Then the Magdalena church. After a lunch stop, on to visit the Real Alcazar, which started life as a Moorish fortress and ended up being the Sevilla residence of the Spanish royalty. Last was the cathedral, which was really huge and hard to take in all the art there. I'll hit the road again tomorrow, walking the Via de la Plata.
