When we left our hotel room to go across the plaza for breakfast there were tons of people hovering around a small chapel. We spoke to one of the men who told us that there are many neighborhood associations who are aligned with different images of the Virgin Mary. People were going in the chapel to kiss this one's hands for luck. We found out she would be paraded through the streets next weekend. There was also a youth band that went inside the chapel and then came out and played. There were kids of so many different ages--pretty amazing.
We went to Plaza España in the big park in Seville. This structure was built for the 1929 world's fair. It is stunning and we spend quite a lot of time there.
Around the circle there are little pavilions for each of Spain's states. I think they said 46, but not sure. This one is for Barcelona.
There are ceramics everywhere. Even on the railing of a bridge. We spent a ton of time here.
There were street flamenco dancers--loved it.
We took a horse carriage ride around the park and the city. It was actually tons of fun. Got this shot of the Cathedral and Alcazar together.
It was Saturday evening and it seemed like most of the town was on the street. This folks set up speakers and music and were dancing by the river.
We ended up at a good Italian place for dinner. Our margharetta pizza was good, but what I really love were the pizza scissors. They worked great. I'd never seen them before. I'll be on the lookout for these when I get home.
