Christoforo and Dancin' Shoes

 13-May-2022

Checked in to the final hotel in Sevilla on our tour today.  This place has a musical theme so it's named 'Amedeus' of course.  There are musical instruments on display throughout the public rooms.



There are even loaners if you forgot to bring your harp.

The Barber was closed today so we took a tour of the church with the Macarena aka Weeping Virgin statue.  Nice church and they had a museum with a lot of chochky from the big parade every year.

The Weeping Virgin's ride for the parade


She didn't start weeping until I told her what we paid for the trip.

After a bit more of orientation around Sevilla we headed for the next stop, the biggest Gothic cathedral in the world. It was very large indeed.  I would hate to heat this place. Here is a shot of one of the giant organs.


This place is also famous for being the site of Christopher Columbus' grave.  Here's old Chris in the box.



We wound up the evening with a Flamenco show.


It was an energetic show with castanets and lots of banging on the wood floor.  Lets just say that these folks don't bother paying for a health club membership.
