There it was, the picture in a fourth grade boy’s mind come to life–the banner! Raised by Ferdinand III in 1248 over Seville, the capital of Andalusia in a campaign to drive the Islamic Moors/Arabs from Iberia, it now lay encased in glass near a side altar in the magnificent Seville Cathedral. I had read about the reconquest of Spain by Christian forces and it had captivated my mind. The image of the battle banner being hoisted over the city was in a recessed corner of my mind, but never forgotten. Today, what was once a distant thought became reality in that ancient piece of cloth. I do not know God’s economy of time, but I was impressed that for centuries Christianity was under Islamic dominion in this part of the world and then arose to once again flourish. The banner is proof. I stood in awe! WEG

It looks a lot like Barcelona. No real high building, but about 3 to 4 stories high. Of course there was McDonalds and Starbucks.
Wait till you see our posted pictures in the Gallery. Yes and Burger King and KFC etc. Across from a traditional dress, fans, flamenco attire and instruments shop was a Guess.
