Podworld - Exploring interesting places

2011 draws to a close after a fantastic year of travel including a splendid time in Malaysia. Thoughts now turn to destinations for 2012, Olympic year. Contenders include a return to marvellous Malaysia, another journey to the United States after a five year absence and a road trip from France to Southern Spain. So much of the world to see, so little time to see it.

Seville Cathedral An abiding memory of Seville is walking past its splendid cathedral at night feeling the warmth radiated after the daylight sun. Seville is a fine city with many worthy attractions and yet does not oversell itself. The Alcazar, a moorish palace, is one of Seville's must see places and a number of excellent restaurants including a superb Italian on the south bank of the River in Betis called San Marco. A tram runs through the centre of the city taking you from the market area and past the cathedral. All the usual Spanish delights such as Tapas and great ice cream can be found in abundance in this very welcoming city.
