Slowly recovering while exploring

I hate falling sick especially while traveling so I spent most of yesterday and today trying to sleep this irritating cough off while taking some meds. Its a real pity since this hostel is actually pretty awesome.
Anyway I tried to get out for a little bit yesterday and today just for some fresh air. Yesterday I saw the Plaza de Espana and it was splendid. Now housing government offices, the architecture still looks pretty intact. They even had flamenco dancers outside putting on a show. I caught these pictures at sunset.
I didn't get a chance to visit the Seville cathedral yet but got some pictures from the outside. They have a Christmas market going on right now and the atmosphere is super festive.
Today, in the spirit of taking it easy, I went to the Royal Alcazar only. It was so beautiful. Makes me think though, most of the people who built these gorgeous buildings were probably slaves and not treated very well. A little sad that something so beautiful may have had a bunch of sadness behind it too.
I headed over to get some better cough medicine afterwards and some hot chocolate. You know how they say honey is great for a dry cough. Well, hot chocolate worked pretty well too 😉
Anyway, I'm going to get dinner at the hostel today and try to get to a 100%. I'm hoping to do a day trip to Cordoba tomorrow but it will depend on how I'm feeling in the morning.
