La Giralda bell tower. Used to be a minaret tower when a mosque was here. You walk up ramps, not stairs, to get to the top. They were there so that the Muslims could ride their horses to the top for the call to prayer.

A bull getting some revenge
More revenge, same bull. The horse was ok.
The last fight of the night ended with a gored thigh - look close at the left leg, the blue strip is a tourniquet. Damage was done by the same bull as the last two pictures. He went down fighting.
