By bike, it was quite easy to maneuver quickly through the city and try to capture all the photos Kurt Hielscher made here over 100 years ago. This way I could also enjoy the city at it most considering the modest amount of time I had for discovering Sevilla. Of course the Tower of Gold was one of the easiest places to find but I needed to go on stairs in between two of the terraces of a restaurant and a bar to get the best angle. At the evening before I already went to check the beautiful view from the Puente de San Telmo and made a nice selfie. I have put it in the comment section below Saludos, Casper" See more
