Once at the train station in Seville, we took a taxi (well, 2 actually – each taxi would only take 3 passengers) to our new Casa. It is in a quaint area (Triana) on the other side of the river from the main city of Seville. The river bank is in our “backyard”. The kids are excited because they each get a single bed.
Seville seems hotter than Madrid, and quieter. It is a much smaller city and has an older European feel to it. Although, this afternoon, when we set out to explore, the first few places we saw were Domino’s Pizza, KFC, Burger King and Billabong… This was not a typical scene though.
They also seem to adhere more to the traditional Spanish day than in Madrid. Pretty much everything was closed this afternoon until 6:30pm when things gradually came back to life.
While we were wandering the streets, we were handed a flyer to see a Flamenco show tonight, so we went. We had front row seats and the show was incredible!! Lukas found the clomping feet really loud and Jasmin thought they would stamp their feet so hard the floor would collapse.
The show was part of a Flamenco Museum, which is open only during the day so we will have to go back to learn more about this festive, music and dance custom.
After the show we had dinner and then headed to our Casa. It was still 33°C and still quite humid at dusk (10pm); and that was after it had cooled down!
Dave took a picture of Seville at night from our Casa Terrace.
I am looking forward to exploring it by day tomorrow (hopefully we won’t melt).
As I suspected our new Casa does not have WiFi, so you may have to deal with upload delays while we decide the best way to go about it.
