Sevilla

Seville was a wonderful and very mediterannean city... the houses are white, the atmosphere is wonderful and there are many interesting things to see. You could easily spend several days here...

First we went to the Seville Plaza de Espana - my phone photos certainly do it no justice but a most magnificent plaza with 4 bridges (for the 4 main era/dynasties of Spain I think) in central gardens, surrounded by arches and little tiled representations of each of the 23 (I think) provinces of Spain.... just lovely...

Seville is beautiful and certainly different to Toledo. Orange trees, gardens that are a mix of the roman style (garden at centre of building) with the arabic features of water and fruit trees. Of course tiles, ornate plaster and the shapes of the arabic influence are everywhere. White for the mediterranean. Palms. And the most wonderful roses (more photos from Granada)...

Getting any hints Bren for some tweaking of the Frith St garden (sorry about the random person in this photo...)

Seville day was completed with a night at the Spanish flamenco school... Just a beautiful production - of course these photos with no flash do it no justice...

So put Seville on your list!
