Seville, pretty old town ( the part were in). Spent the day walking around , thought of going for a hike the next day but there is a lot to do in the town itself. The walkway along the river is lined with mandarin trees, laden with fruit, some even rotting. I am not sure why people don't pick the fruit. The trees though provide the very much needed shade in the sweltering heat. It is mid May but the temperature is already soaring.
We are staying near Barrio Santa Cruz ( the old neighborhood ) , the streets are narrow, the houses are old, easy to get lost but a great place to explore .
Booked tickets to a Flamenco dance show. Arrived early so got front row seats. It started with a man singing accompanied by a man on a guitar. The man singing (not sure of what it meant ) looked like he was in a lot of pain, but it changed when the dancers came and the tempo was more upbeat. The dancers were really good, very energetic , love the sounds they produce with their hands and shoes.
There is a great ice cream shop adjoining our hotel, if there was a reward scheme I would have been due for free ice cream in a day.
