Jo's Travels

It seems the whole of Spain is under construction. Kev & Richard mentioned there was an election coming up, maybe that´s why, but to quote Ange from Gosford, it seems sometimes that Spain is a bit ABC..Another Bloody Cathedral...Another Bloody Crane!!

Seville was nice, but had to walk around construction workers, who are no different anywhere, and avoid all the tour groups. It reminded me of Cordoba but a city around the pretty cobblestone streets and colourful terrace houses. We visited the Alcazar, a moorish mosque of gardens and beautiful islamic architecure, it was huge and just kept going and going. The cathedral was gorgeous, but the line up was too long in the heat, so we were happy just to admire it from the outside.

We bought tickets to a Flamenco show, which was really enjoyable. It was backed by 2 guitarist, and 2 men singing (and clapping). Then there were probably about 15 flamenco dancers, and changed several times into different dresses. They were all very beautiful, but disappointed they didn´t dance the Pasa Doble.

Flamenco in Seville

We ate tapas all day today, looking forward to having some vegetables for a change.

We did Seville in a day and were eager to check out of the hovel and jumped on a bus to Malaga.
