THROUGH WILD EUROPE 59 



yellow fever and similar tropical diseases, but to 

 disinfect a district like the marismas of Southern 

 Spain, or the impenetrable swamps and morasses of 

 the Danube, seems to me to be an utterly impossible 

 task, and beyond even the powers of science to 

 effect. 



No visit to Andalusia is complete without a stop 

 at Seville, and we spent a few days at this beautiful 

 town, in order to see the old Moorish palace of 

 Alcazar, and the Cathedral, a typical example of 

 Spanish architecture. 



Any attempt, however, at describing the beauties 

 of Seville is beyond the scope of a book which only 

 professes to deal with the birds of Wild Europe.
