28 [[left margin in red]] Seville [[/left margin]] The cathedral looks very much like many other cathedrals except for is unusually massive columns. The exterior is unimpressive. [[red underline]] Giralda [[/red underline]] tower is characteristic for Sevilla. Walked to the [[red underline]] Guadalquiver. Barges with [[/red underline]] lateen sails, also some lugsails also 2 masted schooners (Portuguese?) and a [[strikethrough]] steam [[/strikethrough]] [[red underline]] large steam yacht. Sevilla looks rather dilapidated, [[/red underline]] [[strikethrough]] pro [[/strikethrough]] streets poorly kept. [[strikethrough]] In Europe [[/strikethrough]] As in most parts of Southern Europe including France and Italy [[red underline]] art and smells seem to be inseparable. [[/red underline]] Walked to Academia de Belles Artes. There as in most other museums I had to [[red underline]] dodge the garlick [[end page]] [[start page]] 29 [[left margin in red]] Sevilla [[/left margin]] breath of the keeper who wanted to explain to me while I was on his lee! Paintings of Murillo, Raelas, Zurbaran etc. (See Baedeker) [[red underlined]] The old paintings do not convey as much admiration as the [[/red underline]] guide books bestow upon them.

Bull fights are in full swing [[/red underline]]
