A most enjoyable reposte. Though 20 years now I have wandered the backwaters of Spain. The mosaic of Christian and Moor.
Today only an hour ago my path was blocked by a shepherd and his flock. The Shepherd and I passed pleasantries, then we moved on with our separate lives. He, and his way of life , enriching mine in those few minutes of idle chatter.
Maybe you are right, and I delude myself that the human spirit , has been lost to Thatcher and America, in a way that saddens me. Today I dream on towards Seville, dreaming of Walled gardens,bars where they chalk your order on a slate, Flamenco singers and Moorish ghosts, a little less idealistically after the realism encountered in your post.
Hasta luego,
Mrs and I in Seville in a couple of weeks for the first time. Any tips you can pass on eats and drinks would be very welcome!A most enjoyable reposte. Though 20 years now I have wandered the backwaters of Spain. The mosaic of Christian and Moor.

Can't beat the atmosphere of the Andalucian 'venta'. The Mrs' dad lives down near Cadiz. I'd mosey on down to the bar and have a few glasses of very cheap beer and maybe a bit of sherry. Hardly anyone spoke much English, yet entirely possible to communicate what you want by pointing at it. Few bowls of olives, bit of cured meat...perfect. And at a non tourist price.
Or, you could go to Benidorm....

We have an air bnb for a week. An apartment right next to the cathedral. I have always wanted to visit, it looks stunning. Just a week to explore, eat tapas, drink sherry and soak in the atmosphere. May do a trip to the Alhambra if we get time. We have been tracking the weather. Hope it stays as good.Will do, the weather at the moment is fantastic. 19c.
Will be my first time, staying in Barrio de Santa Cruz, a historic Jewish quarter.
How long are you staying there ?
