When visiting Sevilla, you...
by Mausi
When visiting Sevilla, you must absolutely visit de Feria de Abril which normally takes place 2 weeks after the Easterweekend. Just strolling through the streets from Sevilla is heaven ! It may not be easy to enter the private tents (casetas privadas) but with some effort you might get lucky and enter some of the casetas where you will feel the real Sevillan spirit (especially when you act like a real tourist wanting to enjoy the atmosphere, prentending not to speak spanish at all ... always worked for us !!) Being home again after a trip from Sevilla, I miss the warmth and the 'savoir-vivre' from Andalucia. Especially the nice food and the friendly people make me want to go back every year.

By coming out at night you will be able to enjoy the place almost to yourself as most tourists are packed away on their tour buses and off to have dinner or whatever. You will also be able to take your time to appreciate what you are seeing without the heat of the hot sun bearing down on you.
Guadalkivir and Torre del Oro

The first time I was in Sevilla, we made an interesting cruise on the river-boat during the night.
The musicians the were playing music for all the tourists they were there. I mean that they were playin songs for all the groups of stangers they were there. Consequently, we were surprised when we heard them playing greek music.
Later on, they started a competition of games.
Meanwhile, we didn't stop drinking sangria.
The picture was taken during my last visit to Sevilla. Next to me is my husband Radmilo.
Behind us the Torre del Oro.
Keep your feet on the ground
by betis1
You're relaxing outside at a cafe so why not stretch out and kick your feet up on the seat next to you? If you do so you may be asked to put them back on the ground. Many vacationing Americans see care-free Spain and think doing this couldn't offend anyone. But the street is probably the dirtiest thing around. Why else would those little old ladies spend so much time mopping the sidewalk in front of their house? Putting your feet, which surely have been touching the ground recently unless your vacation is going all too well, on a seat is putting all of the dirt, dog crap and anything else from the street where someone plans to sit.
Day 41

The original plan was to walk to Ponte Ulla -- 29.5k But when we arrived there we were told that there was a new refugio at Capila de Santiaguino, so we kept going the extra 4.5 k and were rewarded with a nice new refugio -- So well worth the extra mile !!
Beautiful countryside although steeply undulating with quite a few choices of places to stop for lunch !!
