Souvenir plate

Time of past OR future Camino
Frances 2016; Mansill de las Mulas to Finisterre/Muxia 2017; Aragones 2018; Suso/Yuso, Meseta 2019
My family lived in Spain near Madrid for a few years in the very early 1960's. We were able to travel throughout the country, Segovia, Toledo, Valencia and much more. I have many memories that have been rekindled as I plan and walk on the Camino. Of course, Spain has changed a great deal in the intervening years, but some places have changed very little. Among my mother's treasures from Spain is this plate, in perfect condition and unmarked. Would any of you have an idea of the location pictured. No, I do not want to sell it, just possibly identify the location. Thank you for any ideas!IMG_5042.webp
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I don't know why (maybe blue paint on the houses on the left???) but something is saying to me that it should be somewhere in southern Spain. Not sure at all about exact location though.
You are right too, southern Spain, Sevilla!

I was a Spanish teacher and this was one of the “Cultural Notes” in the textbook.
If you want to send me a PM with your email I can send you a photo.
Have fun exploring Seville. It is a beautiful city.
Anyway you are more than welcome!

I've only been there once but it was driving me nuts that I have seen that plate before! Taken back in 2007, my only time south of Toledo. I imagine that the textbook that I had in the 80's might have had a similar picture, @Charlotte Helbig (Nuestros Amigos)!

Wonderful keepsake that you have @Sparrow in Texas !

I visited Seville after walking the Camino and this looks like Seville to me from the iconoc bell tower of the cathedral to the Moorish-Christian castle.
