We have been in both St.Peter's and St . Paul's, the other of the very big three, but this topped them.Perhaps because it was mid January and although Sevilla felt very warm to us NewEnglanders, it was low season and at times we were alone or with only a few people in this vast so beautiful space. Imagining it filled with those who needed to rely on the magnificently golden carved NewTestament stories as they could not read and also imagining those who carved,gilded,chiseled what we walked in now was a life affirming, enhancing experience. I had trouble on the cathedral site booking tickets so went with Viator, which can be iffy depending on guide luck of the draw. God was smiling at us as indicated by the last name of our extraordinary guide, Miguel Felix. We were about 13 in the group. We felt as if we were visiting the cathedral with a friend who happen to d to live in Sevilla and was very smart, appropriately funny ( no cliches) and knew an enormous amount of detail, which we wanted. Also in love with his city. Thank you, Miguel! He was also thoughtful of the group, which Included a range of ages. AAnd thank you also for encouraging us to climb up the 34 ( maybe 32) ramps to the top of the Girhaldo Tower. He was so enthusiastic he went over the tour time and we stayed almost two more hkyrs The peace was much needed I. The world now.
