Right after we ate we rubbed our bellies and decided to go back to the hotel for a quick nap. Why? Spanish living, remember? We did manage to navigate around to the plaza behind the cathedral. This expansize, open space proved to be a sun gauntlet later in the afternoon - it throws no shade at all. The buildings on the left are the leading edge of the original settlement - a neighborhood called Santa Cruz which is a maze of small cobblestone streets and tightly woven stone buildings.
Around the other side of the plaza are the outer walls of the Alcazar - a royal palace that was originally a Moorish fort.
We used the Alcazar exterior walls to hide from the sun later in the day, it came quite in handy.
