Beautiful Cathedral - glad we got to visit…read more Super crowded, so I suggest you go early. I've heard the guided tour is worth it - we just walked the property, wished I would have at least had the English audio guide. Great place to see while in Seville - you should go. Would I go back? If I were bringing others, yes. On my own again, probably not - once was good enough.

Save yourself a heck ton of time and waiting in the blistering hot sun, and get your ticket at the Iglesia del Salvador first. When you want to check out the Cathedral, you'll be able to skip the winding line and walk up to the front with your receipt! There is an audio option available for this church. Inside is very ornate and beautiful! Definitely something to check out if you're interested in Spanish history and religion.

If you buy a ticket to Seville's giant Gothic cathedral, you can enter this church for free using the same ticket.

We happened to see the sign on the door advertising dulces for sale. Enter the courtyard, go to the…read moreback where the menus are on the wall near a lazy Susan type door. This style of door allows the women of the convent to maintain modesty and privacy, while also selling foods that help the convent continue. After consulting the menu, we said "hola!" and after a response we didn't understand I asked for tortas de polvoron. A package of 12 cookies swung around to us and we replaced them with 4 Euros, and turned the door again. The cookies were GREAT--soft, shortbread, and just the right sweetness. We are going back for more; they are individually wrapped so we think these will stay fresh a little bit. We tried more the next day. Tortas de aceite were interesting. They are large, very flat cookies with a slight anise flavor. Empanadillas had candied squash inside, but it only tasted of sweet, not squash. They were ok. The tortas de chocolate were, like the polvorone, a good shortbread but not very chocolatey. Wine donuts were out of stock! The first 2 items on the menu are specialties of the house, handed down for many generations.

Fabulous convent sweets!…read more A local gem... we saw people on the street holding bags of their baked goods. We went twice- first for almond cookies (a dozen for less than 4 Euros), and the next day for the Bollitos de Santa Ines (scones with a hint of sesame- still warm when we bought them, for 4 Euros). The sweets were delicious, and the whole experience was charming. You enter a lovely little courtyard. You never see the cloistered nun, but you exchange money for sweets using the "torno"- a lazy susan. I loved that the whole exchange is based on trust. You also support the nuns and their historic convent. A must, I think, if you're anywhere near the Metropol Parasol! Note that like other places in Spain, the sweets may not be available during the afternoon siesta.

Finally on our last evening here after dinner I decided to go in to take a look. It's modest, humble and not ornate compared to others I have seen - so many churches in the city. A priest sat in a confessional booth ready to listen. I felt guilty taking pictures in the service of yelp and TripAdvisor reviews (helping fellow travelers) instead of doing the work of God. Amen.
