The second day was much smoother in the city. Even though we had seen a lot on the first day, we decided to go on a bike tour of the city just to get to ride bikes and waste some time. The tour was fun, but it was probably the hardest tour in terms of maneuvering through people. There were only nine people on the tour, which was good because any bigger wouldn’t have been able to move. After the tour we went to the cathedral and the real alcazar, which was a series of palaces and gardens. The cathedral was one of the more memorable ones from the trip and had many side rooms with jewels and great architecture. There was a tower at the cathedral and you could climb the ramps to get to the top. It took almost 40 ramps to get to the top, but the little windows on the way up gave a breeze and offered great views. The style of the real alcazar buildings was amazing. They had a big Arab influence in the construction and so the building really stood out from the Gothic and Gaudi styles of the other things we ha seen. You can’t go to Spain with out seeing the Flamenco, so we got tickets to see the dance performed at the museum dedicated to the dance style. It was interesting to see, but gave you a headache because there was a lot of stomping. It was sort of a mix between Stomp, clogging and bad dance recital costumes. The two dancers were accompanied by a guitar player and singer, who were good, but were way to into their music and it really wasn't that exciting. The dancers were talented, but their facial expressions were so stupid it was hard to take them seriously.
