First impressions.

This morning I went for a walk round Seville for the first time. It is so beautiful. Most of the streets are tiny about 2 meters wide, filled with big wooden doors. When they are opened you can peek through and the interiors are filled with blue mosaics and palm trees.

The weather here is really not as bad as thought it would be. It's maybe 36°C, a chilly day for Seville and the locals are in jeans (i promise). It's very dry and there's always a light breeze which makes it more than okay. Enjoyable in fact.  In a lot of tapas bars and restaurant they spray cold vapour on clients!! I don't know how I feel about that - would make you sweaty no?

I am amazed at how cheap it is here. For 7€ I bought, 2 trouts, about 2 kilos of different fruits, milk, artichokes and the biggest lemon which weighs 750 grams! Paradise.

I've spent the evening in this small tapas bar sitting outside drinking a small glass of Rioja (delicious!) for 2€!! You can have such a high quality of life here I guess..

Now dinner and then I'm popping at 0030 to this Tablao which is where flamenco shows are held.. So will keep you in the loop on how that went..
