Two Tales of a City
What a treat to have another taste of Seville! Personally, I don't mind if a place is a bit Disneyesque (as is my hometown Santa Barbara). I'll take beauty over boring any day. Some of Seville's architectural gems may have been built only in the 20c, but how wise that they built in a style that integrated with the city's ancient architecture, rather than going for modern steel and glass. How fabulous that you got to visit the charming Ronda and its amazing bridge. For those of us from earthquake-prone California, it's so bizarre to see those houses perched on the lips of cliffs. Great prose and photos, as usual--thanks!

Roman Ronda
I have been there a couple of times and it is as you say most beautiful. Th ask for your lovely descriptions... Sounds like the tour you took in Seville really opened your eyes. I am always fascinated by the history and struggles the Spanish people must have gone through in quite recent times under Franco. .. My daughter in law is Spanish. Cheers Lynne

Ronda and Seville
I have always wanted to go to Ronda; we were in Seville a few years ago and loved it as well... except the heat, as we were fool enough to go in August... empty streets during the day, very busy at night. I thought it was quite funny you were the only ones being at the bus station more than a few minutes before departure... that's Spain!!! I am Spanish and it even drives me crazy!!! As usual, great photos!

lovely
Your photos continue to impress.

Stunning
Wow, your photos are absolutely stunning. I love them!! :-)

Love it!
This is one of my favorite blogs, your photos and descriptions are simply amazing! Thank you so much for inspiring us :)

Wonderful
So beautifully written and love the atmosphere captured in your photos . It feels like you are living a slow and relaxed life Ther in your apartment I Seviila.

Plaza de Espana
I'm a fan of all your blogs, but this one...this one made me sigh heavily and feel homesick for Seville. It's one of my favourite cities in Spain (although I have many favourite cities in Spain :) ). Your photos of Plaza de Espana are some of the best I've seen! Hope there are many more blogs from Seville :)

Memories....
Fabulous photos and such vivid descriptions of the wonders, history and gastronomy of one my favorite cities! How lovely to be there when the summer crowds have gone, and you locals have tapas town to yourselves. Your plaza sounds sweet, and how great that the sun doesn't come up until at 8, so you can have a magical stroll in the cool morning. The second time I stayed there was with a family who had a passion for tapas. They ordered and I savored delicacies this picky eater never thought I'd like. So many surprises in Seville!

Beautiful photos as usual!
This place is breathtaking! I agree with a previous comment; this place wasn't on my radar, but it is now! When would you say is the best time to go weather-wise? I love how you've described the arrival to different countries, and I agree that the arrival can be very memorable. I did Machu Pichhu and Cambodia half way by train, which were both long beautiful rides. I've never done a ferry ride but it seems very interesting!
