Just outside the door to our apartment there is a famous eatery, where of course we found some lunch yesterday afternoon. The walls are decorated with huge bull's heads and the whole place is a celebration of bullfighting, being almost next door to Seville's Plaza de Toros. Of course they offered us bull's tail stew but we stuck with prawns …
Maybe Saturday afternoon is the really big lunch day for Spaniards, there were crowds everywhere, happily eating and drinking, or promenading. We were keeping an eye put for a food market, and found one by the Isabel II bridge …. view from the bridge below.
There were beautiful tiled towers at the end of the bridge, which turned out to be on the Castillo de San Jorge, which houses the Museum of the Inquistion.
Every direction offered new tiled images to enjoy …
often of some version of Mary or the Divine Feminine as celebrated by local culture …
We strolled alond with the happy crowds, although by now lugging a little fruit and vegetables, and leter some bread and pastries ….
until it was time to return to the apartment for baby reasons … which gave us a chance to climb all the stairs to our top terrace and enjoy the view over the rooftops to the Cathedral and Giralda Tower.
Enjoyed seeing the sights of your walk with you.
Thanks again for the photos…really enjoying them.
You should try the bull’s tail – it’s absolutely delicious 🙂 Make sure you go to Plaza de España.
Lovely photos!
sadly I can’t eat red meat due to tick induced allergy … life threatening 😦 luckily I can still eat fish and poultry …and yes we will get the Plaza de Espana …we were almost there this afternoon and baby needed to go home 🙂
Re what we were talking about yesterday, Christine … the Inquisition is another example of it, don’t you think ? Only in Spain …
exactly!
goodness you are so busy over there…what a wonderful holiday you are sharing with us
Your photos are exquisite. I can take as many tiles as you can deliver. And as a ferry addict, I love that shot up the river to the bridge.
Gorgeous tiles.
Ahh, this makes me even more nostalgic!! Wonderful snapshots Christine. Look forward to the night shots.
I’d love to go there! Loved the tiled dome.
